band night tips

Let’s face it, Band Nights at the Coroglen Tavern can be off the richter scale but no one wants to have a stink night, so here are a few tips and tricks to make your night go off with a bang…

1. ALL CONCERTS ARE AGED 18+
   So please don’t be offended when you get asked for ID when buying tickets or at the door on the night. Unfortunately for all you youthful loveys who don’t have ID (and remember the only ID that is acceptable is passport, NZ Drivers License and a HANZ 18+ card) we won’t be letting you in… boo I know, but that’s the law. Also, “I pinky promise I’m over 18” will also not get you in the door, there’s a tribe of people waiting behind you to get in, hold up the line and they’ll eat you!!

3. TRANSPORT

   If you don’t have a sober driver or you can’t convince ya mum to drive out in her jimjams to get cha in the middle of the night (that goes for all 30+ peeps out there too). Then how about getting hold of one of our BFF’s to get a lift.

4. DON’T COME PRE-LOADED
   There’s a huge difference in having a tipple while getting ready to party and writing yourself off before you get here! Let’s face it, you’re not going to have a night to remember, and chances are you could ruin someone else’s night! Your mates are there to watch amazing talent, not your talent of being a dooshbag! So do everyone a favour and be cool! We’re not party poopers… hell we own The Coroglen Tavern for crying out loud… but we also take our host responsibility seriously. All we want is for everyone to have a rad night and to be safe!

5. EATING
   If you’re heading out here for dinner before the concert we suggest coming into the Tavern and ordering from there… Burgers, Fish and Chips, Nachos etc All the good stuff. The band area has limited eating options, Chips, Hotdogs, Pies etc

6. PAYMENT
   During these crazy times we’ve upgraded all our payment systems to Tap and Go Eftpos Machines… This should move lines along faster too so it’s a win win for you guys and you don’t have to walk around with a cash full wallet.

7. RESPECT OUR NEIGHBOURS AND THEIR PROPERTY
   This is more of a request, than a tip. Please keep out of their gardens, away from their houses, and just because their gate might be open it doesn’t mean that an invitation to wander in. Don’t hiff rubbish, be a tidy kiwi. We like our neighbours and we surely want them to keep liking us… So be rad, don’t wander, and please, please, please don’t freak them out by walking around their homes!
