What's the story, old sport?
- The Wellingtonista
- While buzzing around Courtenay Place recently, I noticed that the Sports Café was closed for renovations.

Betty's - 3 October, 32 Blair Street
- Texture
- There seemed to be a big ol’ hype machine at work before Betty’s even opened to the public. I guess this could be expected, mostly due to the fact that new bars have been a little thin on the ground in recent times (but boy has that changed, with more rumoured to be on the way for summer).

The Library - 03 October, Level 1, 53 Courtenay Place
- Texture
- God I used to love Cabaret. It was an impressive cocktail bar-slash-music venue that really complimented its neighbouring establishments of Chow and Motel. 2009 brings something different, with the library stepping into Cabaret’s luxurious bar space. My first thought when hearing about the new venue was “what’s with the name?” but in the face of such handsomely titled places as “El Horno” and “Sports Cafe” I was willing to give The Library a pass on this one.

Eating our way through the recession
- Remember a few months ago, when doom and gloom dominated the hospo news? 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.
