Watch Six Nations Rugby
Rugby/English themed bar in Hokitika?
My boyfriend (who is English) and I are going to be in Hokitika on the 15th of Feb, which happens to coincide with a six nations, England v Wales game – a must see. I am really keen to find a rugby and/or English themed bar, or any other bar that is likely to be recording the game and showing it during their opening hours. Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks!
P.S. I know some people here find it hard to resist, but can we please not have any ‘hilarious’ questions about why we would bother to watch England play, we should watch a good team like the AB’s, etc etc…
Right… I am happy to have AB supporters answer my question, in fact that’s what I was anticipating… I am an AB fan myself. I was just hoping to avoid the usual crowd that shows up and makes lame jokes about how bad England is – it gets old fast.
Yes, where the game is being played it will be Feb 14… But it wil be early in the morning on Feb 15 in NZ.
The bad pommie rugby jokes get old almost as fast as the sheep shagger or rugby choking gestures when in the UK so I guess that is the price that is to be paid for the moronic thinking that comes from the trash of any given nation. OK bleat out of the way.
You didnt say if you are a Pom yourself but for the sake of this question I’ll assume that you are.
May I first welcome you to NZ and the lovely West Coast. We mostly do like you poms over here regardless of your prefered national beer serving temperatues and lack of healthy skin glow etc etc. Actually room temperature pommie beer is rather nice I thought. Esp the old speckled hen that is served by the lovely pasty skinned large breasted young lady at the Teddington Arms.
Anyway I digress.
Hokitika is lucky to have an Alcohol themed bar, let alone a pommie themed bar. Luckily for you though, most kiwi pubs have an inherently rugby theme to them.
Id try the Hoki tavern in Revell St. There are better pubs around but it’s got a good combination of screens, atmosphere, sky, booze and banter. Just check out to make sure that they will be showing it at the right times, because probably super 14 will take priority unless some kind of pale pommie swamp of humans descends on the pub and threatens to glass the landlord unless he plays the 6 nations.
Even then he might stick with the s14.
either way good luck. Hope you enjoy it and hope you batter those even pastier welsh wookies back into the valley caves from which they came.
My sister who works as a hotel cleaner just bobbed her head in to express her thanks to your nation for the nice easy days she gets when your countryman stay at her hotel. She says the bath and showers never need any attention after the poms are in town. Not sure what she meant by that though. (Jokin).. Just feeding the stereotype.. HEY SOMONES GOT TO DO IT! WE OWE YOU!
Anyway.. try the HOKI.. its OK. maybe there is better but its a good all allrounder.
