Major Toms

Within the next month or so there should be a new bar open in Mount Maunganui called Major Toms. It’s a project that my buddy Jay, my girlfriend Kaz and I are taking on. None of us know shit about the hospitality industry, but we reckon the Mount deserves a decent bar where the bouncer doesn’t tell you to take off your hoody (even though you’re clearly just wearing a jacket with a hood), you can listen to some decent music (not Britney Spears) and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

We’ve got a blog going documenting our progress, which is kinda funny as none of us know anything about building, painting, electrics, demolition etc either. You can check it out on majortomsbar.com.

This is the crazy piece of architecture we are taking on. What you can’t see in the photo is the whole thing is GOLD!
