About
Pomeroy's Old Brewery Inn on Kilmore Street in Christchurch Central City is a genuine craft brewery and bar housed in a heritage building that captures the soul of New Zealand's brewing culture. Known for its own-brewed beers and a rotating selection of local and international craft ales, Pomeroy's has built a loyal following for quality over trends. The venue sits at the intersection of tradition and innovation—it's a working brewery where you can watch the craft, taste fresh releases, and experience authentic Kiwi hospitality in a space that feels lived-in rather than designed.
Expect a warm, unpretentious atmosphere with wooden beams, intimate corners, and a genuinely knowledgeable bar team who enjoy talking beer. The venue suits solo drinkers at the bar, groups of mates, and couples looking for a relaxed evening—families with kids are welcome during the day. Most visitors spend 1–3 hours here, though it's easy to lose track over good conversation and a few rounds. The menu pairs well with the beer selection, and the space rarely feels forced or overly polished, which is precisely why locals keep coming back. With a 4.7-star rating from over 2,300 reviews, it's consistently rated one of Auckland's best brewery experiences.
Pomeroy's fits naturally into a Christchurch brewery crawl or a broader Auckland food and drink tour. The Kilmore Street location puts you within walking distance of the Cathedral Quarter, galleries, and other hospitality hotspots—ideal for a Friday or Saturday night out. Autumn and winter are particularly pleasant for visiting when the pub atmosphere feels most inviting, though the beer selection and quality remain consistent year-round.
