Review The Institution Craft Beer & Cocktail Bar - Christchurch

Leisa Wierenga
One of our favourite places in Christchurch. Great local beer options and the perfect place to enjoy an afterwork pint! Always friendly service and a new beer to try every time...a must go to when visiting the city!

We love The Institution! Oscar is an excellent host, his conversation and cocktails are both wonderful. I also often enjoy the beers on tap. One of our favourite spots to stop by.

Super chill place with a nice upstairs bar area. We were planning to go to a few places in the area but ended up closing the night here. The bartenders were playing requests that day, asking everyone who came in to name a song on top of their mind. Drinks were strong and tasty - had the Commie Mule with the freshly crushed ginger (first choice was Dr. Orders - but no can't do as rosemary was out of stock). The beer flight was good as well as you get to try all 5 beers that they have on tap. Highly recommend on coming here.

We found this little bar without meaning to, and it is now our go to for a after work drink and a starter/finisher for Saturday night. Love the fit out and drawing on the calk table tops/back wall. The staff are delightful and very knowledgeable of all things beer. Soon you will be calling each other by your first name. That is how you know you have found a charming tiny drinking whole. Great people, great beer, great place.

Good beer selection. Good cocktail selection and they will make pretty much anything you want to drink. It's tight on space but that makes it kind of cosy. I like that they have board games. And they are open until 10:00 on a Sunday!

Really interesting place, we were with a small group and came to visit for a relax. We managed to snag the table downstairs and it was excelent for us all to play some card games, really felt like we were in our own private living room. Would totally recommend as their drinks selection was excellent.

Love the lighting and environment... The bar is located upstairs with a small lounge area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Mostly craft beers and alcoholic cocktails. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. Would I go back? Yes ☺

Had a nice relaxed time drinking a beer and playing some cards. Cool dude behind the counter let me try out a new cocktail for feedback. Loved it - hope the candy/caramel/apple cocktail worked out well!
