dinner

Tucked along Colombo Street in Sydenham, Tails Cocktail Bar brings a speakeasy sensibility to Christchurch with a relaxed, warmly lit swagger. True to its name, it keeps things simple and welcoming, pairing specialty drinks with unfussy, satisfying burgers.

It is the sort of spot where the pace eases, conversations lengthen, and a well-made beverage takes centre stage. The bar leans into crowd-pleasing classics done right, creating an easy rhythm from first sip to last bite. The drink menu includes refreshing alcohol-free options such as a strawberry mint soda and the playful passionfruit surprise - both bright, lively mixes that suit any mood.

On the food front, the burgers are the headline act. Choose a beef number stacked with double cheese, iceberg, pickle, and royale sauce, or a chicken and bacon option layered with tomato, avocado, and aioli. There is also a selection of small plates, including fries with aioli and tomato sauce or kumara chips, ideal for sharing.

For an easy-going night of comfort food and interesting drinks, Tails keeps the good times flowing! Drop in, settle back, and let the evening tell its tale.
