The Best Little Local in Christchurch
Craft beer. Famous pizzas. Wagging tails. Good humans.
Welcome to your new favourite Christchurch pub.
Your Neighbourhood Christchurch Pub
The Little Taphouse is your warm, welcoming, slightly cheeky local - the kind of place where the beers are cold, the pizzas are famous, and the staff know your name (and more importantly, your dog’s!).
We’re proud to be one of the most loved dog-friendly pubs in Christchurch, with space for walk-ins, online reservations for planners, and plenty of room for mates, dates, work drinks and family catch-ups.
Pull up a seat. Grab a pint. Stay awhile.
Home of (Very) Good Pizza
If you’re searching for the best pizza in Christchurch, you’ve just found it. We’re known for our famous pizzas - crispy bases, generous toppings, and flavours worth coming back for.
But we’re more than just pizza. Think tasty snacks to share, hearty burgers, fresh salads, and all the pub favourites you know and love. We’ve got the little locals covered too, with a dedicated kids’ menu, plus a special dog menu so your best mate doesn’t miss out.
Craft Beer & more
Behind the bar, you’ll find Emerson’s Brewery beers pouring fresh on tap, including rotating and limited releases, making us a go-to spot for craft beer in Christchurch.
Not a beer drinker? We’ve got you covered with a carefully curated local and international wine list. Add to that an extensive range of spirits, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a proper session at your favourite local.
Whether it’s after-work drinks or a full afternoon session on the deck, we’re ready.
