General Warriors Themed Pub

[hornbybrown]

What were the inside secrets of their dynasty, how did they do it?

Sounds simple, but it was self accountability, honesty, and creating a family friendly environment.

There were other things but those were the main ones.

From there a foundation was built that continues to be built on.

They don’t employ coaches that haven’t played for or been part of the setup for a long time because they only want people that understand the crusaders way.

We are close to having the Warriors way by the looks of things

To expand on this the crusaders way started after 4 games in the 1998 season. They were 1-3 and coming last.
They had a honesty session that set up what they became. They didn’t lose another game that year after that honesty session and won their first championship

The @NZWarriors have taken over the Holly Hop Bar in Kingsland and will be making that their official Warriors bar.

Close to Eden Park eh, future planning maybe.

That Bar is ok, it is quite big and spacious relatively speaking, decent view looking out towards Eden Park with plenty of glass to look out from.

Went on a few dates there so I spose that coloured my opinion of the place in the positive.

Be interesting to see what they do to set it up for Big screens. Parking around that area is terrible so it will be interesting to see if anyone uses the place on Game day.

Good Curb side appeal with the outside area being quite crisp and clean looking, it will look amazing from the road with Warriors colors flying.

There are also plenty of food and other drinking places along that strip which is good for when the Warriors hordes take over the strip on big game nights.

Well done Warriors, a good venue in a practical central location to the city.

How many of you started checking out their website and parking options when they saw that posted.

I have been looking for a new place to take the wife out to dinner when we have a baby sitter. The kids love the Warriors maybe a reason for a family dinner.

That's certainly a left field location...

jeez, does that insta name mean cg is only a year older than me? stuff like that makes me worry - has he had a hard life, or is my self perception of being comparatively less weathered completely off?? Not sure about tha location though - but I'd still go

He's clearly done the old 'Aaron Smith' in the bathrooms there, fond memories!

kinda opposite scared tattoo on new north road kingsland it’s one of the last buildings before it turns to houses. looks out over the rail lines to eden park.
it used to be a macs bar or something from memory?

corker of a spot for something. whether that’s warriors or not we’ll see.

Oh the old macs bar. Going to need some serious work.

i think it was a macs bar? something like that anyway. it’s been a few things since then. great spot though!
i’d have expected something out south or downtown though really.
not many options around ericsson stadium or whatever they’re calling it these days.

Pub near Mt Smart would never have worked. Need foot traffic and not just a destination place.

I can't wait. I hope they get DB Bitter on tap.

 

[defensivebomb]

not my side of town, but a cool location

 

[Akkerz]

Playing the wait & see game here as imo it doesn't work for Sth Auck fans going to the game ( and there are lots of them ) nor is it near transport to Mt Smart. Bit outside the city area too for visitors. However it is on The Autex side of town & 6 minutes walk to Eden Park.
Anyway if it doesn't work out it should be a good tax write off.

It's right by the train station, so could be a good night out with the boys.
