Me too, I'm ignoring the metservice reports, what do they know about weather

[Fatjim]

Every weekend there are plenty of rides going on, but these are always dominated by guys. Would be a totally different experience with just the girls I reckon.

Yeah, you'd need earplugs in the pub as well.

Hi Guys do you know if there is a ride on Saturday 16th of December? For some reason I have circled it on my calender and I didnt write why DOH!!!

[Trudes]

Not sure doll, but this ride is on the 10th, and you are more than welcome to join us!

[elle-f]

jim HAHAHA that actually might be true

[shandi]

I will be coming on the ride fursure! looking forward to meeting you all.

Cool - and welcome to KB. Hopefully the weather will cooperate...but looks like we will be doing something even if it's not a ride...

[Trudes]

Yes we will. Anyone want to suggest a decent place for a gathering and lunch if the weather decides to not come to the party. It'll need to be of a fairly decent size as the invite has gone out to the guys to join us also if it rains etc.

[elle-f]

ummmm *thinking* not sure BUT can it be in central welly that way i can find my way quickly and not buggar about getting lost however, in saying that, i am hoping NOT to go to wellington and that the weather is good enough for us.

are there any pubs open? bristol? up that way? or that other one close by? murphy something? *OMG, can you tell i dont live in wellington anymore?*!

[Trudes]

Yep, Bristol is probably the better of those two for larger groups to all sit together. So that's one idea, any others?

So that's one idea, any others?

Hey girls...go to www.wotzon.com
Click on Dine & Drink on the LH menu bar
Click on Pubs, Bars & Clubs (very small link near the top)

Here you will find a whole plethora of venues.
I have photographed a lot of these pubs for wotzon ( I know, boring job aye?) and you can see the results. Useful VR panoramas show you what the place is like and you can read the review.

My shortlist suggestion might be:

Coyote Bar: 63 Courtney
Bristol Hotel: 131 Cuba
Shed 5: Queens Wharf
Loaded Hog: Queens Wharf
The Malthouse: 47 Willis
The Black Harp: Featherston St
Molly Malones: Courtney
Kitty O'Shea's: Courtney
Speights Ale House: Thorndon
Speights Ale House: Petone
Shooters; 69 Courtney

Good luck and have fun,
Rich.

The Southern cross at the top of cuba is quite funky, I've only eaten there once since it was refurbished so I can't comment on the food but it had a good atmosphere.

Agreed, forgot about that one!

[apteryx_haasti]

There's also the Macs Brewery on the Waterfront. It's right near Te Papa (and Te Papa's car park - assuming we'll need cages if the weather is cruddy) - it's big, does food and for some reason usually seems to be quite quiet in there.

It used to be Wellington Brewery if that helps anyone place it. Right next to Circa theatre. Easy to find.

[Trudes]

Sweet, cool guys, and thanks CB, that is a very useful site, used it a few times. Well as I've said before, I'm easy, just whatever suits everyone best. I personally love the Speights Alehouses (either the Petone or Thorndon one), and parking is not usually too much of a hassle. But the Brewery bar sounds ok too. Or the Southern Cross.
