Starters Bar

We know this news might come as a shock, but we want you to know that the OUSA Executive has not made this decision lightly. The honest truth is that we have significant concerns around the building and the health and safety risk it poses to our staff and students. With the University’s decision to vacate the Wellington campus building, this added another factor to our decision making. Our time in lockdown enabled us some time to make the decision that Starters Bar cannot re-open.

We’re gutted. This bar was not only the last student owned bar but was important for alcohol harm mitigation in our community. We’re also keenly aware that this is another music venue in Dunedin that is closing down. That’s why the OUSA Exec are committed to continue to search for a new venue for students – we'll continue to work with the DCC and the University on this. We know how important the last student bar is. But your safety is most important to us. Until then, pour one out for Starters and all the memories.
