7) Bar Bodega
Bar Bodega is a music venue in Wellington. It was founded in 1991. Bar Bodega was one of the few stages open almost exclusively to original New Zealand bands and has played a vital role in nurturing the highly original and unusual music scene of New Zealand's capital city. Virtually every New Zealand band has played at this venue in the 1990s, very often in front of a very crowded house. Many local Wellington bands had regular spots at Bar Bodega: The Gardening Angels, Letterbox Lambs, Breakfast of Champion, and Let's Planet, to name a few. Regular appearances by Chris Knox, Martin Phillipps and many other household names of New Zealand music ensured a wide and loyal fellowship for this iconic bar.
