Austin Club — Restaurant in Christchurch

Delightful range of cocktails to try here, both on and off the menu, which described the drinks very well. In particular, I would return just for the KGB, light horse and the satchmo of Japan (super unique banana and matcha flavour) cocktails! My friend would also recommend Chumley’s and tobacco road. Didn’t try the bar snacks but other tables seemed to enjoy.

Good service, a bit of a wait but the cocktails were certainly made with care. Bar staff were more than happy to offer recommendations and mix off menu cocktails to suit our preferences. Wait staff were also very attentive with water and clearing glasses throughout the night. Nice wall to keep coats too!

Fun music by the DJ who really seemed to be enjoying himself. DJ mixed using physical records which was unique to watch, and took song/artist requests too. Good range of seating, from booth to bar seating. Some seats faced the very bright LED lights near the DJ which was a bit much, and some tables were close to the door adjoining the smoko so less comfortable if you are a non-smoker. However overall a really nice ambiance....

I was visiting Christchurch for my girlfriend's birthday, after an incredible $400 dinner at Inati we had planned to end the night at The Austin Club. On walking down the alleyway looking for the sign for the hidden bar, there were a few people who looked to be standing around chatting. I was suddenly pushed back by a bouncer who wasn't wearing any uniform or visible identification and told that I can't come in as the bar is full. Another 5 potential customers were also told that the bar is full, the bouncer said he didn't have any details of how long the wait would be and it's probably best to just call the bar. Needless to say everyone left, disappointed Austin Club. You should probably have a strong word with your bouncer, he was very rude and lost you multiple customers, given his attitude we were surely not the only lost customers of the night....

this place would not be what it is without BRIAN! this man is amazing, my partner and I have been here twice and he genuinely brings EVERYTHING.

as well as this the drinks are delicious and there is a variety of options even outside of there diverse and very cool unique-styled movie-theme cocktail menu.
