The Institution Craft Beer Cocktail

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.

Great selection of awesome beers and brilliant staff

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.
