About
Little Poms cafe on Kilmore Street has quietly become one of Christchurch's most reliable brewery & bar destinations, earning a solid 4.6-star rating from over 1,600 reviews. Known for its welcoming vibe and thoughtfully curated beer selection, it's become a local favourite for those seeking quality craft brews without pretension. The team clearly knows their stuff—whether you're after a house brew or something from an independent NZ producer, the recommendations here actually land.
Expect a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere where you can settle in for an hour or a whole afternoon. The space suits solo travellers nursing a good beer, couples looking for a casual date spot, and groups of mates just as well. Most visits run 1–3 hours depending on your pace. The staff are genuinely friendly and knowledgeable rather than rushed—they'll chat about what you're drinking without the craft-beer gatekeeping you sometimes encounter. It's worth noting the space gets busy on weekends and after work, so mid-afternoon or a quieter weeknight offers a more relaxed experience if that's your preference.
Little Poms fits naturally into a Christchurch city centre crawl, especially if you're exploring the rebuild and regeneration of central Kilmore Street. Pair it with lunch at one of the nearby cafes, a walk through the botanic gardens a short distance away, or make it part of a brewery trail hitting other local producers. There's no bad time to visit, though the warmer months (October–April) draw bigger crowds and often see the outdoor seating properly utilised.
