A collection of more than 200 whiskies lines the shelves at this intimate cocktail parlour, where bartenders tailor bespoke mixed drinks to individual tastes. Tucked into the Spanish Mission architecture of pedestrianised New Regent Street in Christchurch Central City, it trades on an unpretentious, sophisticated lounge setting suited to slow sipping and quiet late evenings.
In a bustling pocket with 17 other bars within a kilometre—including neighbours like O.G.B Bar & Restaurant and Downstairs just metres away—it carves out its niche around serious spirits rather than a rowdy pub crowd. The bar opens late Wednesday through Saturday, running from 4pm until 11pm on Wednesdays, 4pm until midnight on Thursdays, and from 3pm until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, staying closed from Sunday through Tuesday. Our pick in the central city for anyone seeking a rare dram or a carefully crafted nightcap.
