BTW,
If you are confused about the name thats on the fever cards, We have changed our minds a number of times but the official/ done dusted/absolute/no going back name is Four Kings.
Adam Brown ( First in) is doing the website as we speak and judging the job hes done on this site, ours will also be a cracker.
More to come soon

Ah yes the low lifes. Was getting harrased for ages by some aussie rugby supporter...he didnt even realise it was a football lounge until i told him, then he was abusing me and stuff about football etc, was very not cool..
 
An awesome night other than that idiot though

Allegedly

Well, thanks for the abuse, But Im gald the one person who needed to hear my criticism replied with maturity, the rest of you I have nothing to say. I was there to enjoy the atmosphere, I partly did that. I look forward to the renovations. Good luck Im sure it will be great.

In regards to the critics moved to the Lounge, I'm with the Fever Lounge, no matter what.
I agree it isn't the flashest place in Welly, but the beer was good, the waitresses hot and I got my seat..so no complaints at all from me!

Man, long story.
 
Downstairs there will be a new style of TAB that we will be the first in the country and along with the Pokies there is an element of gambling to what we are doing. We wanted to say something about gambling without it being to in your face as the upstairs will be quite a bit different( probably close to a Speights ale house or Lonestar ) with a really nice bar/Restaurant and outdoor area. We plan to build a brand around the 'Four Kings', we see 4 sides to the business. Sports/ Ales/Food/ Gambling.
 
Hope that answer the question

I really enjoy the atmosphere even though the bar isn't up to expected standards (by some).
Has anyone seen the renovation art on the wall as you walk in (on your left). This bar certainly has visions and I reckon it will get there! I'm really looking forward to this place being the official supporters bar - I expect alot of football history to eventuate in this place!

Good on ya bigdunc, you guys seem to have a wonderful vision and I wish you all the success!

Let's get that Fifa 08 tournament going on night - will be great fun! ;)

I'm sure Interisti are not allowed in the lounge. It's Wellington Phoenix and AS ROMA supporters only..
Mi dispiace - Sorry!!!

Sounds great. Where's the outside area going to be?

I'm looking forward to a larger imported beer selection -- especially some Czech beers... not that I'm biased! :-)

When you have stamped 20 you then need to get a 'Champs' card from the BB or Fever Lounge and go to champs to get it. They are however not available till early next week.

The outside area will be on the top level. We are taking out 2 of the large windows and building back about 2m by 10m. It will be covered, heated and have TV screen there as well. It will officially be pretty cool!
