Going out in Canterbury

Hi there,

Which are your 10 favorite places to go out in Canterbury?

Which places would you recommend to newcomers? (restaurants, pubs, discos, theaters, cinemas, concert halls...)

Thanks!

Fat Eddies for music
Scared Scriptless Improv Comedy - every Fri and Sat nite
Lone Star for dinner
Sullivans Irish bar to listen to band Black Velvet
Sampan House for cheap chinese
Sumner Beach
Taylors Mistake Beach
Iconic Bar if you wanting cheap drinks!
Vic n Whale cheap drinks!
Gloria Jeans for coffee and cake

I live in Oz but have subscribed to this site as thinking of heading back to NZ.  I can only say Fat Eddies is the best place I've found on both sides of the Tas for atmosphere, jazz music, old movies playing in the background, tres friendly bar staff, warm fires et al. I am almost thinking of coming back to live just because of Fat Eddies alone!   Thanks KiwiMelza - next time I'm over I will also check out Sullivans for the Irish gigs. Cheers Anne from Oz
