Classic Christchurch institution. The outdoor courtyard is enormous and dogs are perfectly at home. Cold beer, incredible smash burgers, and the vibe is unbeatable.

Great atmosphere and genuinely dog-friendly. My big dog was welcomed without a second thought. The house-brewed beer is excellent and the burgers are legit.

An Chch staple for a reason. Dogs in the courtyard, cold craft beer, and honest pub food. Can get rowdy later in the evening but great for a casual weekday drink.
