Bar pub in Christchurch

“Really cool place & the bar had a great atmosphere. The people running the venue were lovely and very helpful. It is by a main road but great value for what you get and conveniently close to the airport.”

“Best place in town for corn chips and dip! The queso dip is insane. I had to order some to take home with me after our meal. Frozen margaritas are my favourite also. Will be back regularly for sure!”

“Very nice original bar First time visitors and customer service was brilliant with lovely atmosphere in the bar.. We'll be back ...”

“My first time here, this is probably now my favourite place to eat and drink, absolutely amazing! Honestly, we would order a taco, and in what seemed like the time it took them to walk to the kitchen and return, we had our food. And the flavour, was the perfect mix of texture, the right balance of ingredients, enough heat to know it was Mexican, but not overpowering. Do your self a favour, check this place out.”

“The restaurant itself is not that spectacular to dit in, but luckily the beach is just some meters away. Getting takeaway at eat at the beach is the best choice to make. We only gad to wait 20 minutes for two dishes, which were really tasty! The butter Naan was also good. This restaurant has a wide variety of non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes which all have a good price.”

“I shoot regularly at The Bog Irish Bar & it’s always a great experience. Friendly staff, lively Irish vibe, & a bar that knows how to make the night fun. Always easy to get awesome shots.”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Styx & Stone. From start to finish, everything was impeccable. For my main course, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana — and it was delightful. Perfectly cooked, tender chicken breast, coated in a crisp, golden crumb, smothered in rich, tangy tomato sauce, and topped with beautifully melted cheese. Every bite was pure comfort and flavor. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the affogato — and it did not disappoint. The balance of smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream and bold, aromatic espresso was heavenly. It’s the kind of simple yet luxurious treat that ends a meal on the perfect note. To accompany it all, I had an iced latte which was perfectly balanced: strong, smooth coffee with just the right touch of milk — refreshing and satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. Highly recommend Styx & Stone for anyone looking for an effortlessly enjoyable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“What can I say, the best food I've had in ages. Flavours were just amazing. Service and people there are great. Highly recommend going here. We had the Chicken Ragout, Cheesey Garlic Pizza, and Lamb Meatballs. Delicious! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I was here for dinner last night, and I loved it so much I came back for lunch today. Nachos are superb, and the guacamole is outstanding. Great homemade chips. Lovely service and good prices. A winner! And a stunning view of the mountains from my table :)”

“We dropped in for a feed but it was chocks and headed for a long wait. However, the drinks were great and the hospitality as expected in New Zealand. Thanks. We will pop back.!”
