$4 Monteiths (pints), Heineken bottles and settlers Hill from 5-7pm

who's up for it?

Matewx

Planning ahead eh?

We'll be coming along :-)

Robbo25

Deffo up for that however that's the middle weekend of the school hols, so maybe before or after them may work better as people tend to go away etc?

zaras dad

Ill keep it going for now and see what the response is like.


aye. Have to try and plan ahead being daddy day care

BEVS

We'd defo be up but am too far away

Matewx

I would say that BEVS & Am Loolah being MODs should make the trip up to Auckland to come & meet us... I'll give u discount @ the hotel

Will they rise to the challenge??

zaras dad

I'm now keen to arrange drinks at this establishment for another weekend as Im now going to a 40th birthday on 2nd oct.


I will get back to you soon - sorry for messing you about !!!

Robbo25

Make it for two weeks later if that's okay, then we're clear of the school hols!

Matewx

LOL

Keep postponing & we'll be gone by the time you set a date

Hey All, I've been in Auckland now for about a year and a half and would love to meet some expats, bonus is that I work in the City so name the date and I'll be there

Hi
Let us know when you have a date we're definatley up for it. Only been here 4 days would be great to meet some expats. No idea at the mo where to go for drinks

zaras dad

sorry for not getting back to you all sooner..........

As I've said earlier the 2nd is out for me and the 9th too. Will have to have a financial breather for the 16th so I was thinking of the 23rd October...

Seems like a long way off but it looks a realistic goer. I'll do a separate post as to not mislead but Ill see what the preference is, whether it be -

A)http://www.slippinn.co.nz/news/12/17

or

B) http://www.thebluestoneroom.co.nz/de...10/2009&week=4


The Pros and cons of A v B are -

A) $4 drinks between 5-7pm at both places but The Bluestone rockets upto $8 a drink thereafter compared to @ $6 at The Slipp Inn

B) The Bluestone room is city centre and The Slipp Inn is a 15 min bus ride from the city (however the buses are every few minutes in both directions and go quite late)

c) Nice food at The Slipp Inn (havent tried The Bluestone)

d) The Bluestone has screens for the sport but dies after about 7.30 (when the cheap drinks go). The Slipp Inn also has screens plus live music from about 9pm , and has a pool table .


I'm easy either way but I wouldnt be put off by bussing it to The Slipp Inn as its a nice pub and easy to get to.

I look forward to hearing your preference

Robbo25

The problem is that unless you're coming from the CBD the Slipp Inn is a bugger to get to.

23rd is fine by us. As we don't know either place we are up for wherever, just need to give us the address so we can sat nav it (our bible at the mo lol)
