A Napier bar has apologised after a knitting group was told to rethink their booking at the newly opened central city venue.
In a post on social media on Monday afternoon, The Knit Nook announced they were cancelling their Tuesday booking at Good George Napier Taphouse after a call from the bar’s staff informing them that “knitting is not the vibe we are going for”.
“If someone brought a deck of cards or a board game it would be seen as normal but because of their perception of who should be in a tap house we are not welcome to knit there so I cancelled our bookings. I don’t even know what to say other than knitters are magical and they can’t handle our awesomeness,” the post said.

In a statement posted on social media on Tuesday morning, Good George Napier Taphouse said it was a “mistake” to send the knitters away and the bar planned to review its booking policy.
