Hit Addington Before (Or After) Your Event
Event Vibes In Christchurch
Addington is a vibrant entertainment hub in Ōtautahi Christchurch with Wolfbrook Arena, Orange Theory Stadium and Addington Raceway all situated in the same spot. There’s always something happening with a packed calendar of events throughout the year. Luckily, the surrounding area offers fantastic dining and drinking options to head to before and after events so you can make an evening (or a day) of it!
Mosaic By Simo
Mosaic by Simo is a unique restaurant offering a fusion of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours. Indulge in their expertly crafted dishes, like the Moroccan Lamb Tagine or for something a bit lighter, try their dolmades or their Andalusian Platter. You can then wash it all down with a beverage from their well-curated drinks menu. This is a popular spot with Ōtautahi foodies.
The Pedal Pusher
A funky gastropub, The Pedal Pusher welcomes you with a hearty menu and a friendly atmosphere. Enjoy their tasty burgers and pizzas, and popular sharing platters while sipping on craft beers, wines, or cocktails. This is a great casual spot that is popular for event goers.
Morell And Co
This modern bar and restaurant offers a menu that changes with the seasons, serving up homey meals to fill you up - from fried chicken to burgers and pizzas. Their experienced bar staff will mix you up the perfect drink to go with it. A great place to head with friends and family before an event.
Speights Ale House
An iconic Christchurch spot, Speights Ale House offers hearty pub-style meals such as beer-battered fish and chips and succulent lamb shanks. Pair your meal with a refreshing pint of their renowned Speights beer, brewed on-site. This pub is always popular before major events so head here if you like a bit of atmosphere.
Koji Japanese
If you are feeling extra hungry and want to make sure you will be full for the night, then head to Koji Japanese Buffet before your event. Offering Japanese food cooked fresh, you can order as much as you want within a two-hour sitting. Their cocktail menu is incredible with a range of options at great prices!
Getting There
Addington can get busy when there are several events on so make sure you plan. We recommend parking further out and scootering in, taking the bus (see the timetable) which can drop you right outside these bars and restaurants, or share an uber with friends. There are plenty of options.
