In our quest to support cool stuff in Christchurch, we would like to point you all toward Local Vanguard, a blog that describes itself as “an offbeat exploration of local culture and city affairs in Christchurch, NZ”. It is people like this that are contributing to Christchurch changing its image from the rugby-rugby-rugby days of [...]

You will remember a Mr. Caleb Hansen pissed in our Foosball table. I thought cleaning up piss was going to be the grossest thing I’d do in a while. Then… after sniffing about all afternoon for the source of the horrid smell in the bar I discovered somebody had shat on the floor on Saturday [...]

Tonight Only! Buy any pint of beer and receive a free couch. Only while stocks last…
