An SOS call has been answered in Wellington’s hospitality sector. 

Local brewers Garage Project have stepped in to save Fortune Favours’ bar and brewery from permanent closure after a decade in operation. 

The brewery saw a 45% drop in revenue over the past two years, even after taking home top honours at this year’s Beervana festival. 

Garage Project founder Pete Gillespie told Mike Hosking they did such an incredible job with that space, it would be a crime to see everything ripped out. 

He says they may have more optimism than they should, but he feels like it's worth doubling down on the bar.
