Another chch icon bites the dust. What next, the Wunderbar? Smh.
Same. Ever since they made it a 'precinct' it lost its soul.
Not surprised. City's dead after 10pm anyway. Too many council regs.
agree. The red zone took ten years, but the council killed nightlife in two.
Gutted. Hide was the only place that didn't feel like a fake wanna-be Auckland bar. Real proper dive.
Truuue. Hide was grungy but it had character. Now it's just another empty building.

Right, so where are we meant to go now? The casino? Hard no.
exactly. Casino's for tourists and oldies. We need somewhere to let loose.
Honestly the club scene has been dying for years. Rents too high, everyone's staying home with their craft beer.
harsh. Some of us have kids and jobs. But yeah, Fridays were special.
Bloody council with their noise complaints and liquor licensing. They've killed this city.
Remember when Hide had that $5 entry and $2 Jager bombs? Fkn golden era.
Facts. Those $2 Jager bombs were lethal. Miss those days.
Shame. Some of my best messy nights started at Hide. End of an era indeed.
Yeah nah get stuffed council. You've ruined the CBD.
Maybe if people actually went out instead of being antisocial hermits, it'd survive. Just saying.
cope. Some of us actually like going out, not just sitting on our phones.
