Take in the variety of rich architecture while you indulge over a cup of espresso and sample delectable cuisine at one of Christchurch's many restaurants, cafes and bars located in these unique alley precincts.  When the sun sets, the lanes are transformed into the newest, hippest places to be seen in Christchurch. Stay out late and sample stylish cocktail bars, laid-back pubs, and excellent cuisine then dance the night away till your feet ache.
