“LIVE” at The Library Bar – a regular monthly evening of tantalising tunes and seductive stanzas at the cosiest bar in town.
Where: The Library Bar, corner Pakenham East and Market Pl. Viaduct Harbour
When: Wednesday July 27th – and the last Wednesday of every month.
“Koha” Entry
It’s a Wednesday night in late July and the perfect opportunity to do something different. Imagine settling in to a cosy armchair with a glass of wine, being warmed by enigmatic songs and passionate prose. Imagine the delight in diversity as poets, musicians and comedians alike, all take to the mic so you can savour some of the flavours that are Auckland’s spoken word talent.
If you have already been to a LIVE event, then you know why everyone’s talking about it. If you haven’t, then July 27th is the opportunity not to be missed. Printable Reality’s latest monthly event is fast becoming a favourite with its diverse Open Mic complimenting special guest performers. Michelle Bolton is the evening’s Master of Ceremonies; and the oh-so appropriate venue is The Library Bar- the viaduct’s best offering.
Book-lined walls, retro paintings, plush sofas and morish Tapas are just some of the highlights at The Library Bar. This unique and welcoming Bar is fast becoming a firm favourite amongst all who discover it. The Library Bar is excited to be able to offer Aucklanders a venue for unique events just like “LIVE at the Library Bar”.
