What a fantastic edition to Christchurch's bar scene. The atmosphere is wonderful with an intimate feel even though the space is large. The barman was able to whip up any cocktail you like, I asked for a mocktail that had a berry base and he nailed it!
Gavin Leonard, a month agoHad such a great experience at 4 Bars Distillery! The ambiance is super cozy and the interior design is honestly so aesthetic—perfect spot to unwind. The service was excellent, really attentive and welcoming. The cocktails were amazing too—we tried the Sierra Spritz, Negroni, and Whisky Sour, and all of them were so well made. Definitely recommend this place and will 100% be coming back!
Chelsea, 5 months agoSuch a lovely experience at 4 BARS Distillery! From the moment we walked into the beautifully styled space, it felt more like a cosy gin salon than a typical tasting room — warm, inviting and really well done. We tried their gin GIN CLEAR DAY and it was absolutely delicious — fresh, smooth and just so easy to enjoy on a clear day. You can really tell a lot of care has gone into creating it. A special mention to Chris, the owner and creator of the gin, who was so welcoming and lovely to chat with. His passion for what he does really comes through and made the whole experience feel personal an
