Open late in Christchurch — late-night bars & eats

Christchurch isn't a 24-hour town, but it doesn't pack up at nine either. These are the bars and kitchens still going late on a Friday or Saturday — somewhere to land for one more, or a feed, when most places have called it.

56 spots still serving at 11pm or later on the weekend — concentrated through the Central City, with a few reliable late ones in Addington and over the hill in Lyttelton. Bars mostly, but a good run of kitchens still firing for a late dinner too.

Late hours are the first thing to change on a quiet night or a public holiday — if you're heading out late, it's worth a quick check before you commit.
