You have to wonder about what was going on when this divorce settlement was written, or what exactly is wrong with these tights - but I could tell you the backstory to Senor Handsome if you ask nicely.  Fri, 14 May 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/leaving-a-paper-trail The Wellingtonista 2010-05-14T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/review-lagerfield Last year, for the second time in a row, Team Wellingtonista won the Webstock Pub Quiz (we intend to win it this year too, by the way). Our prize was a $300 tab for Lagerfield at 21 Blair Street. Having been there late at night when it was full of munters, I was not overwhelmed with enthusiasm, but as it turns out, it was a lovely experience.

Well, there certainly have been a lot of closures in central Wellington, but many of those places have re-opened, and we've even got a few brand-new bars and restaurants to celebrate.

A dash of Kiwiana and a touch of faded grandeur can go down a treat if served with a generous slug of hipster irony (see Mighty Mighty). A grab-bag of Nana kitsch can turn into something resembling conceptual art if it's assembled with wit and flair (see Auckland's Northern Steamship Company). But sometimes it all goes horribly wrong. I know!

Well, I'm hardly going to change the habits of a lifetime, but just this once here's a mystery bar without a hint of pretension.

However, one category is glaringly absent: best bar. They have best barman, barmaid, music venue and nightclub, but no bar (or best Martini, for that matter).
