Help Us Raise The Bar!

We have finally been given the (almost) green light by the council! The plans have all been approved, and we're just waiting on one neighbours signature which has been promised to be delivered in the next day or two, and then finally the building will start!

We apologise for the lack of updates, but we really just didn’t have any new information for so long, as it’s been a process of one step forward and one step back for months. We're so ridiculously relieved to have the end in sight, and can’t wait to be up and running! 

Here are some pretty pictures of our plans, so you can see what we’re aiming to achieve. There will be awnings and heating too, so never fear, winter will still be cosy on the roof.

Muchas gracias,

The rooftop basquers..(soon!)

So as some of you may have seen on Facebook we have the building consent, hooray, but now the resource consent is being held up due to noise concerns. Because Courtenay Place is notoriously quiet you see. We're working our way through it, and will hopefully get (good!) results soon. (BTW if anyone has any sway with the WCC feel free to get in there!)

T-shirts for those of you who went for that option are ready, so just come by and get yours, or email me if you'd like me to post it out. Best to email to [email protected] so we don't have to keep on making the good folk at Pledge Me keep following us up.

Once again, thanks for your patience, here's hoping the next update will be one informing you all of our opening party!

Cheers,

Lydia

The Rockstar, Champion and Epic Legend keyrings have arrived and are loaded up with your tabs, so come in and collect yours and you can start using it straight away! Otherwise we'll get them in the mail to you next week; or let me know if you'd prefer to collect it.

Cheers!

So, unfortunately we're still having delays with getting this rooftop off the ground - it seems that one thing hinges upon another thing which creates more delays, considerations, rules and regulations than ever expected! We really hope we've jumped through the final hoop - fingers are crossed we can get it open before this beautiful weather deserts us. Thanks for your patience, we’re doing everything we can think of to speed up this eternally frustrating process.

A small consolation, the key-rings (and t-shirts for those who went for that option) are due any day now, so we'll load your bar tabs onto them, and when they arrive you can start using them if you want to rather than waiting until the roof is open. 

If anyone has had a postal address change, or wants to collect from Basque, please send us an email to [email protected].

Cheers

We're getting the doners board ready to go, so if anyone has special name requests can you please send them through to [email protected]. We've had a couple of requests already - some people are doing company names, or dedicating them to someone - so if you want anything specific let us know.

Cheers!

THANK YOU so much to everyone that's pledged so far, what a great city we live in!! So many awesome people that share the dream of a rooftop bar... We're still taking pledges, as $30,000 was our minimum required, so you or your friends don't have to miss out on being a part of it. If we hit our stretch goal of $45,000 we're going to have an awesome opening party for the pledgers. So there are still 22 Rockstar pledges available, and we won't be renewing these again, so get in if you want to get in! 

Hey everyone, thanks so much for all your pledges, we're ecstatic with the result so far. We've decided to extend the keyring offer to all the Rockstars, we don't want people missing out and it's been the most popular category so far. So keep spreading the word!
