12 BAR
Central Christchurch Craft Beer Bar & Live Music Venue

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 alongside a variety of live music most nights. Our welcoming atmosphere suits all, as a family and dog friendly pub with a sunny outdoor beer garden by day, and an inclusive and diverse music venue by night.
