   What a unique and gloriously chilled space to indulge everything that's beautiful in this world. I always experience such a cathartic social occasion here, thanks to everything from superb craft beers, delicious food and absolutely top notch engaging customer service! Greg, Duty Manager, is very diligent, attentive and knowledgeable on every aspect of all Astro Labs F&B offerings. Sensational tunes too, btw! On chilly nights, this fine establishment offers hot water bottles to every patron to ensure they're comfortable and warm. The only place I'm aware of across the entire city of Christchurch that offers such!

   What a great experience. Very cool barman who presented us with hot water bottles upon arrival, helped us choose a table and put the heater on above us. He looked after us so well and because of him we stayed a lot longer than we had intended and spent a lot more than we would have.

   ** This is a warning review for people that previously loved the Astro Lounge and will be removed if things change ** We were excited to hear that the Astro Lounge was reopening so a group of us headed on down for what we hoped was going to be a fantastic lunch. The wait staff and bar staff were great as usual and the same menus were on the tables so we were thrilled. When we asked for 2x steamed mussels and 2x Hen Solo (southern fried chicken with jalapeno honey sauce) we were informed that they only had ONE serving of the chicken available (this is one hour past the opening time of 12, on their re-opening day) so we ordered the available portion and the Cluck Rogers burger that is supposed to contain the same fried chicken as the Hen Solo. We also ordered the Celestial Chips which are supposed to be hand cut fries. When the meals arrived one of them was 5 chicken nibbles with a sweet chilli sauce for $18 and the burger had what appeared to be some grilled chicken breast instead of fried chicken. The mussels were served up with a milky sauce that tasted of nothing nice and were rubbery and did not taste fresh. The fries were absolutely not hand cut and were very dry, under seasoned and chewy. None of these meals resembled any previous we had enjoyed here and that was very disappointing. We did speak with the manager and expressed our disappointment and they graciously did not charge us for the mussels. The menu has apparently changed and we were assured if we come back we will not be disappointed. We will give them some time and then go back and try again, and if we are indeed not disappointed I will happily remove this review and upload a much more positive one.

   We gather here as a group every couple of weeks. It’s a beautiful little gem! The staff are fantastic and the blankets, hot water bottles and fairy lights make it such a sweet and cosy little nook. 10/10!

   Came here for drinks and nibbles (fried chicken). A very quirky location with a lot of personality, the service was amazing. On a cold night out they offer hot water bottles, blankets and heaters. Friendly and funny staff.

   Friendly staff and good food. Funky bar and the cocktails are strong!! Beer garden is great but can be a bit cold outside in the easterly wind, so bring a jumper,

   It's a beautiful, friendly, quirky place. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Sat down this evening and got given a hot water bottle, a heater and a warm greeting! My favorite garden bar in Christchurch.
