Smash Palace

A really good bar. Really embraces the transitional nature of Christchurch during the rebuild.
Staff were friendly and knowledgeable of their craft beer offerings. A really cool vibe to the place. A great spot to spend a lazy afternoon / warm summer evening.

So cool. We went here late at night after some drinks. It was cold out so they gave us a bunch of hot water bottles. Loads of fun and something different plus good beer and snacks.

Great atmosphere and buzz about Smash Palace. The staff are friendly and remember people who come regularly. Food is always delivered hot, fresh and fast. The only downside is that there are no non-smoking areas, so it can be very hard to find a spot where you aren't getting cigarette smoke.
Creative setting with great music, and mix of covered or open seating.

I love this place. It’s such a good place to grab a drink in the sunshine. It’s got a good selection of beer and is in a great location. We’ll be back over summer for sure.

It’s a great spot, especially when it’s all lit up at night. Most of the seating is outside, there is a little bit undercover. Well priced drinks and friendly staff.
