Porridge Watson
Located down a short, plant-lined lane off the arts precinct of Drew Street, a red door marks the entrance of this Whanganui bar. Open the door, and you'll be met by a large lounge setting that features pinball machines, long tables, lounge areas, leaners, a library, and a couple of stages which host everything from poetry sessions to live bands and DJs. Porridge is also a hub for a collection of other smaller businesses; Easy Tiger serves burgers from a window into the bar, and a separate cocktail bar and ice cream parlor open into Porridge's courtyard.
