12 BAR
Central Christchurch Craft Beer Bar & Live Music

The most common musical form of Blues is the 12-bar blues where the first and second lines are repeated, and the third line is a response – often with a twist. That sums up 12 Bar: a great craft beer pub with a twist! We are proud to host a wide range of New Zealand’s finest craft beers in Christchurch Central City. Our welcoming atmosphere suits all as a family and dog friendly pub with a sunny outdoor beer garden with a variety of live music most nights.
