No.4 Bar and Restaurant — Restaurant in Christchurch

If I could give a zero I would. We're traveling through christchurch and this bar happened to be the closest one in the neighborhood. Our hotel recommended it. We ordered meals and two glasses of wine. My wine glass was obviously dirty with yellow streaks of something that looked like egg yolk running down on one side. It was hard to understand how the bar person and the waiter had both missed it. I notified the waitress with the British accent that my glass was dirty. She apologised, took the dirty wine glass away and brought a new red wine glass. The new wine was definitely different to the more expensive one I had ordered. Being the friendly tourists we are we decided it's no big deal , drank the cheaper one and paid for and ordered a second glass of the more expensive one. Which tasted of luckily as it should....disappointing experience but we decided ' it's ok'.

The next evening we were back for more...this time not for dirty wine glasses but for discrimination. I walk into the bar. I ask the bar lady if we could sit. She totally ignores me - to her defense she seemed like she heard a voice but perhaps could not see this African lady infront of her who was asking ...because she turned around looked at me then turned and adressed my white skinned partner instead and says to him ' how can I help?' And proceeded to give him the menu and drinks list. He realising what had happened pushed the menus in my direction instead...I closed the menus and thanked her and we decided to go elsewhere instead. She seemed to see me when I said ' we've decided to go somewhere else...

No 4 is definitely a "regulars" type of crowd. During the summers, the patio is filled every night with loud laughs, a sporting event on the TV or live music on the weekends. The average age is around 40, but on Thursdays it does draw in a good young population. With various specials featuring every day, it's a great place to unwind after work. As it's located in the Merivale/Saint Albans area, except to drop more than a few gold coins for a drink or a bite to eat, but the food is pretty tasty (put the mango back in the mango chicken salad, please!) and the drinks are made with care. Most of the beers on draught are Monteith's, so if you fancy something different, try a different spot. What makes this such a great bar (besides the taxi stand out front) are the various rooms that available. There are two separate outdoor patio areas (a larger one where live music is played with high top and low top tables and a smaller more intimate area great for a small group gathering to watch a sport match or for a birthday dinner). Inside they have a more formal dining area, a high top area and a library with a large TV and tall top tables. This is where the hen parties can go wild. It's definitely one of the top choices if you're...
