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.

- Texture
- Jess Chambers is no stranger to the Wellington-music scene having championed a successful debut album; worked with the likes of Rhian Sheehan, Module and the Upbeats; AND been responsible for the tender female vocals for the much-loved, much-hyped the Woolshed Sessions coterie that have sold out numerous performances and produced a collection of catchy-country-licked-pop songs.
