Booze Review: The Ned Pinot Gris

Posted 11:28am Sunday 16th April 2023 by Albert Einsteinlager

Most Dunedinites won’t drink a bottle of wine until they’re face-to-face with a butter chicken curry.

Get Your Rocks Off

Posted 3:17pm Sunday 2nd April 2023 by Critic

Picture this: a chilly Friday night, my flatmates were away, and I was bored out of my mind.

After swiping right on a guy who looked like the lost Hemsworth brother (or so I Read more...

Avid readers will remember the year’s first issue, in which we talked about how Eleven Bar couldn't be bothered with boring legal stuff like fire or food safety (yawn) and breached the Sale and Supply of Liquor Act from nineteen-ninety-whatever.

Moaningful Confessions: Gatekeep, Gaslight, Gossip Girl

Posted 4:12pm Sunday 26th March 2023 by Critic

Every time I close my eyes, I’m reminded of the most disappointing night of my life. Three years ago, I was a bottle of wine and a butter chicken deep and decided that it would be the night I finally got some.

Editorial: Try the Broccoli

Posted 4:01pm Sunday 26th March 2023 by Fox Meyer

Who do you trust more: a kid that’s never tried broccoli but insists he doesn’t like it, or a kid who says he doesn’t like it because he’s tried it once? Anyway, in this editorial I’m going to explain why it’s less gay to suck one dick than it is to never suck a Read more...

Booze review: Byron Bay Brewery Piña Colada Sparkling Cocktail

Posted 3:56pm Sunday 26th March 2023 by Albert Einsteinlager

RTDs are like your friend's untrained dog: fun to play with at first, but with the potential to leave a child face down on the asphalt. Being little more than over-championed sugar water, RTDs have incurred a tenfold amount of bad karma than they have good. On the cosmic scales of justice, Read more...
