liamsnice  said about 3 years ago  or at  6:13PM on Friday, October 10 2008 in chat

thats right all, the afterdark bar gallery has been sold and will be closing its doors for the last time this saturday night.

it will reopen in the future as a bar still but i have no idea what the details are and if they will still have live music.

singa, joel and myself will be there this sat from 9pm saying goodbye with a few drinks if anyone wants to join us.

thanks to everyone who made this place so awsome to run, and to all the bands who played there.


KillerKitty  said about 3 years ago:

can I play?


liamsnice  said about 3 years ago:

that would be awsome actually. but i think joel has got a line up already. call him about it though.


de.foxus  said about 3 years ago:

i was just wondering last night if it'd sold yet.

congrats on that bit, but i always had fun there and it'll be a little sad to see it go.


KillerKitty  said about 3 years ago:

hmmm... bites tongue


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

Wow, short notice!

Congrats on the sale, though. Can you guys buy the Punter's Palace on Smith Street and turn it into a kickarse pub?


FrankieTeardrop  said about 3 years ago:

What IS the line-up? I would love to see the old crew there one more time.


Angelic  said about 3 years ago:

congrats. enjoy!


mulligan  said about 3 years ago:

it was a very quick sale otherwise i would have organised a week to have all the great acts that have graciously played there to help give it a send off. and as liam said we're all eternally grateful for everybody's encouragement and help over the past years the afterdark was where we started and it played an important role in where we are now. so once again thanks to everyone who played / drank / talked shit and supported us.


liamsnice  said about 3 years ago:

it is -

between the devil and the deep

green green green

dead like geneva

its not a line up we put togther for the night its just that it all happened so fast and they are the bands we already had booked.


FrankieTeardrop  said about 3 years ago:

I've got a thing on early in the evening, but I'll drop by on my way home. So many memories.....


kuroneko  said about 3 years ago:

Fark.... short notice. I'll be at work :(

Vale Afterdork hiccup!


de.foxus  said about 3 years ago:

oh fuck.

i think that means i have to go there when i really really really wanted to sit on my arse at home.


FrankieTeardrop  said about 3 years ago:

Come on foxy!


mulligan  said about 3 years ago:

i'll be working the bar

well...

sort of...


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

Yeah, it's a bit of a shit.

Maybe I can drop in early in the evening.


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

working = drinking, right?


lozz  said about 3 years ago:

HOORAH!

The Afterdark nearly killed my liver.


FrankieTeardrop  said about 3 years ago:

Lozza still holds the slushie record I take it?


kuroneko  said about 3 years ago:

Can someone have a drink at the Afterduck on my behalf? Ta.


lozz  said about 3 years ago:

Aftercark.

TeenageJesus  said about 3 years ago:

Next Friday I mean. He can get me a drink tonight.


lozz  said about 3 years ago:

Wha happened? I swear I was in fine form before I entered this bar. Not much recollection of anything..

Oh well, it was all in true Afterdark spirit, I guess.....


Ben  said about 3 years ago:

couldnt make it.. Farewell dear dead AfterDark Bar.


liamsnice  said about 3 years ago:

i ended up working till 3.30am at the old bar. im still tired.


Modi  said about 3 years ago:

Sorry I missed it. I stayed in last night and watched Totall Recall instead of drinking.


de.foxus  said about 3 years ago:

what modi said but replace total recall with scrubs.

hope it was awesome


sharonstone  said about 3 years ago:

Thanks for the thanks. Hopefully the new owners wont fuck this up. That is so easily done these days.


lozz  said about 1 year ago:

Has anyone been into Kitty Somerset? What's it like? Do they do cocktails?


filterfeed  said about 1 year ago:

i think it's rad. not so much a fan of the cocktails as the range though, which is pretty great. comfy when it's not packed out. the bartenders are awesome, too.

I think it is pretty wanky.
They do cocktails but I haven't tried.
Fucken no beer on tap.


lozz  said about 1 year ago:

I'm not much of a beer drinker fortunately, so suits me fine! Curious to know what their range of beers are though. I should really make the trek up to check it out sometime.


humanityisthedevil  said about 1 year ago:

I liked it when I went there - the bar staff were very nice, and there was some very nice fancy scotch available. That place and The Bender Bar are both great actually - a sweet stretch along High street, and usually not packed out.

Kitty Somerset review on Broadsheet has a funny little nod in the first sentence.

These were my sentiments about a week ago...it would be rad


tugboat  said about 4 months ago:

I do not like Kitty Somerset.


BigBoysSocks  said about 4 months ago:

It's pretty asspensive.


fzchk  said about 4 months ago:

I've never been there but I often go past and suspect that I would most definately not like it.. Then I have Afterdark Bar nostalgia pangs - mostly associated with Scum Nights.
