The Elbow Room

The Elbow Room on 198 Jervois Road has become a reliable favourite for those around the Herne Bay area; and since its renovation, has become quite a charming but casual bar, with its ambience, plush drapes and banquette seating. The bar has a discerning wine list, a wide range of beers, including Asahi on tap, an extensive cocktail selection and varied back bar spirits. Key sports events are now screened discreetly in the bar, so you can keep an eye on Super 14 and NRL action whilst you socialise with friends. Open from Mon to Sat from 4pm and Fridays from 3pm.



The Swing Station

We also have some fabulous events coming up to get you into the groove! The Swing Station, Tuxedo Swing Orchestra and The Juice Bar are proud to present 'Swing Junction'. A monthly event held at Juice Bar from 6pm onwards, 3 hours of great entertainment, music and dancing. Go to www.theswingstation.co.nz for more info and enter into the draw below to win tickets!


Storm

The new STORM Spring season Lookbook is out. Flirty ruffles, floral prints and refreshingly light chiffon dresses are now in store. Storm has a unique signature look that is characterized by the use of strong directional tailoring balanced by the softness and drape of silk. The use of textured fabrics, unique pieces, and subtle uncomplicated layering, combined with a moody palette, creates a statement that says STORM. Their stores are located in Ponsonby, Milford, Newmarket, Napier and Wellington, as well as two stores in the South Island, so have a look online to see their collection, and if you like what you see, drop into one of their stores this season.


SPQR

A local haunt for years, SPQR is the ideal place to be seen in Ponsonby when the weather is pleasant enough to dine outside. It's the perfect place to catch up with your girlfriends or for that long business lunch during the week. The waiters are attentive and will always serve you with a smile. Favourites include the Calamari Salad, baked chicken and the gourmet pizzas and pastas. Dessert is also a must if you've got time to indulge in a sweet treat to finish off your meal. Pop in for lunch or dinner on 150 Ponsonby Road and call 360 1710 to make your reservation.


Pohutukawa Bar

"A bar is a bar. You've been to one, I've been to one. They sell alcohol, they play some sort of music, they have chairs.
What they seem to have missed lately is the hospitality. So, it's simple really. We're bringing back CLASSIC KIWI HOSPITALITY." This is a brilliant opening line to the Pohutukawa Bar, something that will sum up exactly what they're about. Why go to a bar that treats you with anything less? 63 Fort Street is where you should be this weekend.
