I live in Oz but have subscribed to this site as thinking of heading back to NZ.  I can only say Fat Eddies is the best place I've found on both sides of the Tas for atmosphere, jazz music, old movies playing in the background, tres friendly bar staff, warm fires et al. I am almost thinking of coming back to live just because of Fat Eddies alone!   Thanks KiwiMelza - next time I'm over I will also check out Sullivans for the Irish gigs. Cheers Anne from Oz
