Baretta Bar & Restaurant

Great for a variety of occasions. The courtyard is perfect for a wine and antipasto platter in the summer and the restaurant has some delicious meals.

Met a friend for a drink great place lovely staff

Going to Baretta was a fantastic experience for my friend and I last Saturday night, definately the best bar I've been to in Christchurch, great vibe, loud pumping music, good people. There was a really nice glassy who bantered with me, tall, dark hair, quite the babe. I really like how every one there looks kind of foreign. My drink was nicest drink I've ever had in my life, so tangy, nice after taste. Well balanced. My friend and I had an awesome time. Thank you Baretta, for a night to remember. Ten out of ten!

Tonight (30/12/16) around 930-10pm I was enjoying a few drinks with a group of mates when I ordered a drink from the bar (quad shot of jack daniels on the rocks), took it back to our table, had a sip and noticed the glass was dirty (lip stick all around the glass). I took the drink back to the bar and asked the blonde girl who served me if I could have another where she told me she would poor the drink into a clean glass, I said no I would like a new one altogether.

I have had meningitis before so even if the glass was cleaned I am very cautious which means I see the glass and the drink no longer sanitary.

So anyway, she poured me a drink but it was only a double shot. I told her the drink she originally served was a quad shot which is when she told me I had already had a drink and she couldn't remember giving me a dirty glass and she could just give away free alcohol. It completely embarrassed me in front of everyone at the bar listening making me feel like I was trying to score extra alcohol for nothing when putting the old drink and the new drink side by side there was clearly nearly double in the old drink. I said to her if that"s the case I would rather have my money back for the double that she had re poured as at this stage I was clearly not happy with the service and how she handled the situation, when she continued to tell me she couldn't give me a refund. I know it's only a glass of spirits but being embarrassed and having service like that just getting into town lost your bar 6 customers wanting to have celebratory 30th birthday drinks at your bar. poor service, not going back

Our regular Italian restaurant. Great food (although the quality of their pizzas has definitely dropped since opening). Parking can be problematic.
