Gorilla Bar, Ferrymead

Gorilla Bar, Waterman Place, Ferrymead, Christchurch.

UPDATE: Gorilla's brief flirtation with hand-pulled beer was an unhappy one, and their handpump has since gone back to the Twisted Hop. The 'craft beers' available are all artificially carbonated.

An excellent tapas menu complemented with a couple of handpumps sets this industrially-sited establishment apart from its neighbours, a Speights 'Ale' House and the (now sole) Winnie Bagoes pizza restaurant. The drizzle of beer squeezed through the sparkler head from the bag beneath the bar is hardly going to entice beer lovers, but it's a small step in the right direction. Breweries such as Cassels and The Twisted Hop, are represented on the two handpumps.
