Civil & Naval is Lyttelton's biggest little bar and eatery, established in 2013. The venue is known for cocktails, food and a lively, playful atmosphere, and is a dog friendly establishment welcoming four-legged guests along with their owners. Civil & Naval is part of a wider group of sister venues across the region, including O.G.B, The Church Pub, Austin Club, Paddy McNaughton's Irish Pub, Fox & Ferret, The Prebbleton Hotel and Fanny's Pub.
The bar accommodates group bookings of 6 to 20 people on weekdays, with larger groups of more than 20 guests booked as exclusive events. Weekend large group bookings aren't available, and groups of 10 or more are asked to arrange a food pre-order ahead of their visit to help service run smoothly. Whether dropping in for a drink, a meal, or bringing the whole crew along, Civil & Naval positions itself as a relaxed, sociable spot in the heart of Lyttelton.
