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. reviews bars restaurantsbars blogs featured Mon, 03 May 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/review-lagerfield The Wellingtonista 2010-05-03T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/bars-to-spend-summer-in This is the extended version of today's piece in the summer section of the Dominion Post.read more bars restaurantsbars blogs featured Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/bars-to-spend-summer-in The Wellingtonista 2009-12-29T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/the-12-pubs-of-christmas People say, sometimes with even a hint of concern in their voices, that we at the Wellingtonista are overly concerned with drinking. bars restaurantsbars blogs featured Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/the-12-pubs-of-christmas The Wellingtonista 2009-12-15T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/mixing-it-up-at-the-havana-club-cocktail-grand-prix Those of you who follow us on Twitter might have noticed a reoccuring hash tag yesterday of “cockchamp”. bars restaurantsbars blogs featured Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/mixing-it-up-at-the-havana-club-cocktail-grand-prix The Wellingtonista 2009-12-09T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/west-hollywood-lounge-experience Today's Dom Post reports that the Loaded Hog will, intriguingly, be redeveloped into a "west Hollywood lounge experience". bars restaurantsbars blogs featured Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/west-hollywood-lounge-experience The Wellingtonista 2009-11-10T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/whats-the-story-old-sport While buzzing around Courtenay Place recently, I noticed that the Sports Café was closed for renovations. bars restaurantsbars blogs featured Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/whats-the-story-old-sport The Wellingtonista 2009-10-26T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/yet-another-mystery-bar I've never been afraid of eclecticism.
