Auckland’s Urge has been voted Best Bear Bar and Bear New Zealand Week has taken out Best Bear Run in an online international poll. Urge owner Alan Granville said the acknowledgements were especially humbling as it came from a public vote, on website The Complete Bear. "Anyone who has been to Urge knows how small the bar is so to come out top against some big world famous bars is pretty incredible. Got to thank our brilliant staff for their continued hard work, our fantastic customers and of course everyone who voted. "For the Bears Week to win as well is massively satisfying especially with our fourth event in just over a month's time. Going to be lots to celebrate!" The Get it On! Bear New Zealand Week runs February 10-17.
