A
Belgian Beer Café
Closed until further notice.
Are Belgian beer cafés the new Irish pub? They seem to be springing up everywhere, with the cosy wood-heavy interiors, pots of mussels and fabulous array of beers. This is a fine example of the genre, with a suitably old-world exterior and a good-looking beer menu you'd be happy to work through.

B
Monteith’s Brewery Bar
The best pub in town features lots of different Monteiths beers and tasty tucker from bar snacks ($10 to $17) to full meals ($17 to $32). Platters ($27 to $54) are good value if you’ve just met some new friends in the hot pools across the road.

D
Speight's Ale House
Hands down the best of Timaru's pubs, and also worth a visit to see the 19th-century Landing Building. Hearty pub meals – burgers, steak and seafood – and the full range of Speight's beers on tap definitely make a trek downtown worthwhile.

E
Carlton Country Club
Only in innovative, post-earthquake Christchurch would a bunch of shipping containers and a truck-and-trailer come together as one of the city's most popular pubs. Perched on a busy urban corner, the Carlton is a thoroughly unpretentious spot, with lots of thirsty locals tucked away in its nooks and crannies. Don't miss the rooftop deck on a sunny afternoon.
