Miss Q’s

You’ve almost run out of motorway, it’s hot, there’s a large shopping complex on your left and you’re praying there is a bar somewhere. Enter Miss Q’s. I imagine the real Miss Q to be a smiling, buxom lady– the motherly type that you wouldn’t want to piss off. She keeps everything clean and isn’t afraid to smack you one if you get out of hand.
The pub is a spacious sports bar with ample seating and more than a couple of pools tables. It has it’s regulars slouched over the pokies or arched toward the TV screens. Some local band might belt out some pub anthems on a Wednesday or Thursday night. It also attracts a lot of attention from the younger groups leaving the near-​by cinema or bowling alley mid week.
Miss Q’s is a pretty typical Kiwi pub where a dress code is vague at best and everyone should sing along to a Split Endz song. I waz temted 2 rite my revew lyk dis so its regurlarz cud reed it.

Miss Q’s is a sports bar located in the Westgate shopping complex. I’ve only been there once, and I have to say I was quite surprised and impressed by the amount of pool tables they had. There were plenty free for my friends and I to use, which was convenient as we decided to have a bit of a pool competition!
The bar itself was pretty good — there was a decent selection of wines, beers and spirits available. However whole they had a variety of cocktail options advertised, when my friend asked for a piña colada, the bartender actually had to Google how to make it. This was a pretty bizarre situation, but was also good for a bit of a laugh.
On the whole I probably wouldn’t be rushing back to Miss Q’s, as the atmosphere was a bit seedy — as well as having pool tables, Miss Q’s also has lots of pokies so attracts some pretty average patrons. Plus, as someone who isn’t really in to sport, Miss Q’s was never going to be a perfect match for me. That having been said, playing pool was really fun, and due to its casual atmosphere it is a great place to keep in mind if you and your friends just feel like getting a bit rowdy and can’t be bothered heading all the way in to town!
