It is a concept devised by a few Christchurch locals to create an environment for social interaction that contradicts the traditional bar scene. Focusing on a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable surroundings, the Volstead Trading Co. is bringing back the glory days of the 1920's Speakeasy, a bar for those in the know, away from the common scene.

Offering Craft Beers from around the world, Volstead promises to deliver one of the widest selections available and a beer to tempt any palate. These include stunning local brews, alongside award winning national beers and famous international beers. We also offer hand pull beer from fantastic local and national breweries.

Check out what's currently on tap on our Beer Guide. Also check what is in the fridge in our Bottle Beer List featured on our website.

We are open 7 days a week – from midday to 11pm, with our new exciting, Mexican inspired menu.
