Haven House Inn — Pub And Café in Christchurch

Haven House Inn is on Cashel Street in Christchurch, just outside the city. It’s open from 11am Friday and Saturday until 9pm, with extended hours Sunday through Thursday until 11pm. You can find live music here most evenings, especially on weekends when local bands play late into Sunday morning. The venue offers a straightforward night out without needing to leave town.

Haven House Inn is in an older brick and timber building from the early 20th century, typical of Cashel Street’s original commercial style. Inside, exposed beams and original flooring remain, while modern lighting and sound systems support live performances. There’s no over-decoration, just solid construction with a strong character that fits well with the area's history.

Haven House Inn hosts live music events regularly, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when local performers play in an intimate setting. The schedule runs late into Sunday morning, making it easy to stay out past midnight if you’re in town. With no formal dining service or fancy setup, the focus is purely on playing and listening, no frills.
