Welcome to Fat Eddie's!


Fat Eddie’s is based on the New York Jazz bar scene and is located in SOL Square - right in the heart of Christchurch's hottest new district - South of Lichfield.

With wonderful exposed brick walls, a suspended wooden mezzanine floor and many areas to explore, the venue is like nothing else in Christchurch. A range of darn good food, an extensive wine list, more than a few types of beers, and yet Fat Eddie's also manages to be THE PLACE for specially crafted cocktails.

The centrepiece of Fat Eddie's is the raised stage area, big enough to accommodate the Grand Piano - always on show and ready to be played. The stage hosts many different styles and sizes, from solo acts to 11 piece bands with brass and horn section.

Open Tuesday to Sunday, 5.00pm til late.
