Pomeroy’s Old Brewery Inn

Really big fan of this place. Classic English pub appearance. Just outside the city center. Really solid collection of NZ beers on tap. Friendly bar staff and even friendlier dinner service. Food was solid as well. Visited with Kelsey and Tim in 2019.

Tries to pretend an English pub, but what about the alarm that is on every 10 minutes?Behind bar women-only staff are a little bit too outgoing and keep addressing you "love' and '"my dear", but don't have much to say about the beer they sell.Many taps but not many good beers to drink.

Classic pub vibe with rugby on the tv and a loud crowd of mostly middle aged men. 23 taps with craft beer which is a nice attraction here, only a few beers of their own. The food didn’t seem so interesting. Fast service, nice beer. Also some free bread and cheese Just not my kind of atmosphere.

Feels like a proper old English pub. Low ceilings and full of people. Huge number of taps, maybe four or five dedicated to the in house brewery and a few more to Beer Baroness who are essentially an in house brewery. Flights of four on offer. Great range. Plenty of South Island ticks available. Good place to visit.

Visited January 2018 - really liked this place. Decent beer range and flights available. The inside of the pub is quite odd, a bit dated. The outdoor seating area was great though so if the weather is good I recommend sitting out. Great service from the lady on the bar too.

32 beers on draft – most of them micro is definitely their force. Opening hours in a pub from 3 PM is a joke. No Wifi is a joke and the draft through the pub is not nice. Lots of beers brewed out back, all of good quality brewing wise, but not all hitting their style, and all pretty middle of the road, nothing crazy, no sour or DIPA. The place is supposedly old, but feels a bit fake, and living in Europe this is not old. Service is a bit slow. Best offer is the 32 draft beers and flights of 4 beers at 19 NZD. Inspite of it’s flaw I’ll pop in again next time I’m going to NZ (time permitting). Anyways the beer selection is a lot better than 7 years ago.

Well it's a good place, but never as amazing as I'm expected. always pretty crowded, so staff don't really have time for helping us to choose the beer, and the board lack of description for the beers. The selection is always pretty good, but never hugely exciting. Ok, to be fair, I'm just doing my hispter here, it's just because love it so much that it makes me being picky and looking into details. Still a good place to go, I just prefer Volstead, always prefer its selection, and the place is more tranquil

Always a great visit in CHCH. A bit cramped when it is pumping, but lovely and mellow in the afternoon.

Big pub on the very edge of the CBD but only a 15 minute walk from our hotel. It’s a sad walk past many vacant blocks waiting to be rebuilt but...Pomeroy’s lives on! Like an anti-Tardis it looks enormous from the outside but is oddly cramped inside (possibly because a jazz trio was playing the night we were there). Many, many beers to choose from (including their own). Food is really really good, the ambience terrific, and some staff are a little eccentric! What’s not to like. If you like beer and you have one night in Christchurch, go here.

A really legit beer bar way down in the dirty south. Taps are essentially all NZ beers and represent a nice cross-section of stuff. The ambiance is like a British pub, really welcoming and comfortable. Live music sometimes. Food is well-done pub fare, really tasty. They also will hand out free bites of bread and cheese and the like around happy hour. If you’re down here in Chch, do not mess around - this should be your #1 go-to place.
