#twitterchallenge at Fort Street Union

The first place I've been hanging out on my Twitter challenge is at @fortstreetunion with Andrew aka Red (he's called that for the obvious reason) and have been pouring the occasional beer, eating Pizza and talking about what the bar is going to be. He's a young dude who has worked for a brewery and now has given up the corporate world to create the kind of pub he'd like to hang out in - "no pretention, no sleaze, just fun sociable times."

Right now, the bar is inhabited by backpackers, but with the 80s facade going to reveal hundred year old walls and a brand new outdoor area to come, the plan is to attract a much broader crowd. With the whole Fort Street area having a major council makeover, the area is poised to become a much better neighbour to Britomart's stylish bars.

Red has been tweeting a few updates, but is keen to tell the story as it happens. I reckon he's going to make it work, watch this space - or more appropriately, start following @fortstreetunion and start telling him what kind of bar you think he should create.

Oh, by the way - it's still a great place to get a beer with $4 happy hours...
