Google lists: dine-in · takeaway · takes bookings · outdoor seating · beer · wine. > Punky is always full of the most amazing workers. Great food from Prezel box and amazing options of beer/wine/others. Again, servers are great and create a welcoming and warm atmosphere and truly care about the spot. Also love the bike racks. Favourite place in Chch!!!! From friend comments "fire." "Know bikes well", "reccomended to whisper to staff", "Hugs and kisses" "it's unfathomable". 💕, Georgia Fitzpatrick, a month ago > Nice little bar, great selection of craft beers on tap and literally an entire refrigerated wall of canned beers for drinking in or taking away, plus you can fill your riggers! 😊 Very nice wines available, I didn't try the food but it did look nice. Great vibe, excellent staff and quite a quirky little outpost hidden on the outskirts of the cbd... Never heard of it, didn't know it existed... been there 11 years, 6 in its current 'bar' form... 👀😳 I obviously have my finger on the pulse! I'll definitely be back soon., Jason MacDonald, 5 months ago > Last night in NZ before flying back to Canada. Great atmosphere. Tried: Urbanaut Orange/Mango Hazy, Rhyme or Reason Fruity Patootie Hazy, Altitude Blueberry Dragonfruit, Duncan Yuzu Lemonade, and Sidetracks Gingerbeer. All so so good! Short walk to sleep in my nearby van after those!, Bryan Juurlink, 6 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5368275&lon=172.6087918) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5368275,172.6087918,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Punky%20Brewster) - [Addington](https://www.chch.live/addington), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/485065136), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Punky Brewster?** A bar or pub in Addington, Christchurch. **Where is Punky Brewster?** 22B Tyne Street, Addington, on [Tyne Street](https://www.chch.live/street/addington/tyne-street).
