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!!

  2. CAMP CLOSE

    No point spending the night traveling aye… So make sure you get in early. Book accommodation and transport and stay in the Mercury Bay Area. And as for travel… don’t drink and drive muppets! 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. Here for transport and Here for accommodation but there’s plenty of other options.

    The paddock next door (TAPU ROAD) will be open for parking and overnight camping. - Just drive up on the day and pick a spot. WARNING - If it’s heaving with rain, the farmer may close the paddock. So keep an eye on weather or give us a bell to get updates 07 866 3809.

  3. 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!

  4. COME WITH THE MONEY HONEY
    We’ve given our Band Bar a boost and put a couple of eftpos machines up with the crew in the two right windows. So look for the signs and jump in the right line! There’s cash only at the kitchen bar and we have cash out tills running up in the bar too so if you’re hungry, grab some cash out when you get your bevvies. So get organised team, think ahead, bring cash…then boom, she’s all smooth sailing from there.

  5. 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!
