Medusa’s metal-edged sword
- 27 Nov 2012
- Capital Times
- At 26 years old, Tamara Buckland may be the youngest bar owner in Wellington, not that she wants to be known for that – it could lead to even more trouble from the sometimes abusive patrons, holdovers from when the Vivian Street venue was known as The Hole in the Wall and one of the few places in Wellington for thrashing metal and punk. It’s a reputation that’s stuck to the bar like beer stink to Friday night’s jeans, but she’s hoping to change what people expect when they walk through the doors of Bar Medusa.

- ‘Thanks Russell – of course, you’re right. There’s only one man alive in the world today who can do colour like that, and still keep a straight face. Mills is a master at the eclectic in a building, and seemingly one of the few architects in town who doesn’t shriek and run away at the sight of a coloured paint-pot. In fact, he’s at home with anything not labelled white. I didn’t know he was into big ball lanterns, but maybe with the whole year of the Dragon thing, he’s in touch with his inner dragon. The most magical time to see these big balls is at night – they’re on during the day as well, I think, but you can’t really see them – we have to hope they’re lit with LED or the electricity budget will be soaring. Only thing is, all the smokers congregate out the back in the garden as well. Can’t we get rid of them? ’
- ‘A little birdy tells me John Mills Architects completed the Southern Cross redesign, and it won a Local award in 2006… ’

Our Brand New Name!
- 28 Jul 2011
- Downstage Theatre
- No - we haven't changed the name of the theatre! Our first floor bar has had a makeover thanks to Massey University design student Brit O’Hara and mentor Debra DeLorenzo, with help of generous donations from our supporters, and funds raised from last year's Flourish scarf auction. After much thought, discussion and suggestions it has been officially christened: The ½.
