Pomeroy's Old Brewery Inn

Proper UK-style boozer right in the heart of Chch. Heritage brick walls, roaring winter warmth, and a staggering lineup of 30-plus rotating taps. Expect everything from juicy hazies to sessionable low-carb pours. Craft beer aficionados and post-work crowds pack the tables for the immaculate, relaxed energy. Inside buzzes with cricket fans and live music; outside, a heated, covered courtyard keeps things comfortable year-round. The kitchen punches way above standard pub grub. Fellow patrons will quickly point you toward the fried cauliflower—an absolute revelation. Messy, eat-with-your-hands chicken wings. Fiery fried chicken burgers. Hand-cut fries that easily rival the city's elite. Even better? The legendary evening hospitality. Staff regularly circulate with complimentary baskets of chips and bread. A flawless spot for a casual pint or a serious feast.
