[[image:Hamguvs.gif |right|thumb]]Governor's Bar was a popular Hamilton bar, located in the river end of Bryce Street, which had its hey-day in the eighties and nineties. It catered to the office worker liquid lunchers during business hours and post-work drinkers afterward, before becoming a bogan-centric nightclub during the evenings.

Gov's, as it was affectionately known, had a garden bar with a small stage which hosted numerous wet t-shirt competitions and the like. Gov's also hosted many bands, most often the likes of [[Blackjack]] or [[Knightshade]] but also at one time Head Like a Hole and British ska legends Bad Manners. [[Tim Armstrong band]] played at Governor's once a month for a least 5 years. Gov's hosted [[The Generator]] 89FM [[Battle of the Bands]] a couple of times earlier in the 2000s, soon afterward relaunching itself as a dedicated live-music bar.

Its proximity was handy for a stroll down the river banks for a quick session.
