It was a Friday night. Napier was still in full 'winter' mode as I wandered the empty streets,…read morelooking for something fun to do on a one night stay over. I was about to get Indian take away and go back to the hotel when I heard music and conversion down an alley. It turned out to be Monica Loves. A cute little tapas/hangout bar, it is definitely the middle class hipster bar of the area. It was virtually the only place with more than 3 people inside. They had a DJ spinning at 7:30, but I didn't wait around for that. There was a good selection of beers. Some wines. I had an excellent IPA (sometimes hard to find in NZ), although it wasn't on tap. The food menu consisted of fine meats by the 50g, and a dish called BREAD for $9. I almost got the nut plate, but the bar tender never asked me if I wanted anything from the food menu, so I drank my beer and headed out. Despite the minor complaints, this is what I was looking for. I have know doubt that small groups looking for a place to chill would not be disappointed here.

There were a few other patrons enjoying their meals and we all were chatting a bit and sharing travel stories and recommendations. What a great stop.

The cinema has spacious, comfy chairs to enjoy numerous showings of the latest blockbuster movies. You can even pre-order a three course meal for the movie or for $35 an adult evening movie pass and any main meal off the menu (excluding puzza abs lamb shanks). What luxury! They are definitely big on customer service and its noticeable with all the locals. If movies aren't you're thing, it's worth stopping in for a coffwe and enjoy an array of cakes, slices, sandwiches and salads. With a homely vibe and old school, boutique interior, this is a real gem!
