Two of Wellington’s  nightspots were voted amongst the best bars in the world.   Motel on Forresters Lane (Tory St) and Matterhorn on Cuba St were voted 7th & 12th place respectively in the annual survey released by Australian Bartender magazine this week.

These two bars were the only New Zealand ones in the top 20 from the Asia-Pacific region.

Last year, Matterhorn won “Bar of the Year” for the third year running, at the 2008 NZ Bartender magazine bar awards.  Motel was the winner of “Cocktail Bar of the Year” at the same awards.
