Smash Palace

One of the greatest drinking spots in CHCH city. Really friendly staff, good drinks selection and very cool set up in what would otherwise be a pretty miserable location. Highly recommended!

This is located in the Christchurch city centre. I managed to get an off-street car park. Ordered the blueburger and a glass of pinot noir. The beef pattie and blue cheese went well together. I sat at the outdoor area to sip my wine while I enjoyed the evening sun. Price was reasonable. Atmosphere was cosy. Staff was polite.

Quirky, fun and possibility of a roof of stars in enhanced by streams of fairy lights in the evening! Akin to quirkiness, the bar is inside of an old bus and is packed with craft beers which are a bit pricy but it is to be expected. Perfect place for an hour or several depending on depth of pockets and amount of alcohol consumption. Menu is decent also, smash is well worth a visit or several.

I love coming here on a night out! Plenty of seating (although mostly outside, not great if raining but there are umbrellas) and the bar is in an old bus. Staff are great and even charged my phone for me one night when it died unexpectedly! Good old school music you can hear yourself talk over

Great little find. Pub in a Bus...... Nice spot to enjoy a cold glass of wine and beer and tells a lot of history.... Great vibe.
