The Dirty Land

Ok let me start this review by saying one word. Wow. This was the first bar my gal took me too in chch and wow it really set a high standard for the the remaining bars I went too. Starting with the incredible service from the bartenders, super lovely and welcoming, turned the heater on for us too! Now we move to the cocktails. They were delicious and made perfectly, I would say the espresso martini was my favourite. Cucumber GNT also slapped heavily with the Hendricks and long sliced cucumber. Finally, what really wrapped this place up to solidify its spot as my favourite bar in chch was the fact that you can order food from banging Mexican across the gaff called mexicanos! HOLY their tacos are out the gate, we tried around 5 different ones which all banged hard. Salsa, avocado and corn chips also is a goated snack to rock out with your cocktails. 9.5/10 PS- you can also smoke outside which is needed

It was nice, alive atmosphere, staff were friendly. Just a tad bit disappointed with the wait time for our drinks, but understandable as it was busy. Didn't get to eat from the menu so just had cocktails, also just a tad on the average side for the cocktails, honest opinion, I ordered 4 different cocktails, majority of them were super citrusy, pervy sage, pirate tea very bitter, creme brulee martini was super sweet, I think after these I didn't order any more, the prices for some of the cocktails were a bit on the over side & didn't deliver on the taste side. Half of the conversations we also couldn't hear over the very loud music so we had to yell, but it was a very hyped atmosphere so always a hit with the party goers I guess, not for some!

This is a fantastic bar specialising in cocktails, no beer on tap but a good selection in the fridge. Friendly staff, good service and attention to detail everywhere. They share a kitchen with the Mexican next door and the beef skewers with chimichurri and hot sauce were excellent. Quirky art - after which the bar is named.
