Volstead Trading Company - Christchurch

Shared a favourably tasting hazy IPA in the evening with my partner, they had a substantial selection of their own beers among others, with a wide variety to choose from many of which were on tap. At our request the bar tender was kind enough to let us sample some beers before picking our pints. The pizza we had was also quite good. Loved the rather unique paintings on the walls and decor, giving it a darker feel, this contrasted well with the sheltered seating areas beside open windows/walls letting in the wind and sun. Tucked away down an alley, you feel privacy from the street with gentle exposure to the elements. If the place was not suggested to us I would've missed noticing it, just a short walk from the Hagley park area.

Many crafted beer choices! Highly recommend having a beer tasting to look for your beer! We love the haze beer with fruity taste. The vibe is very good for hang out and chat. Good beer place in the city!

This is a great pub. Its seating is comfy and the whole arrangement is nice. The beer is alright and the food is definitely a miss.

Easy to miss this place but a must visit .great craft beers with chilled vibe .our new fav

Without question my favourite comfy place to mooch with excellent beer and have good conversation. Clientele are relaxed and friendly, as are the staff also super helpful and great on recommendations. Lots of interesting beers to choose from, so flights are perfect if you can't decide (like me! .Been coming here for a good 8 years and the onion rings and poppers are still the greatest.
