Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is down a side alley off Victoria street. The entrance is through the launderette and the main door is the one with the tumble dryer front on it. Once inside this is a stylish and excellent cocktail lounge...retro, hip and stylish. Great service, drinks menus and atmosphere. We come here regularly and love it. We will be back - soon and frequently no doubt.

The entry to this place is through a dry cleaners and behind a washing machine door. At least that’s how it looks. Inside, the bar is turn of the century Shanghai and very comfortable. We had cocktails and hung out happily for a few rounds- the bartenders are fantastic, friendly professionals. Would be suitable for a small group of friends or a quiet date- good place to chat.

We stumbled across this great bar whilst looking for a dry cleaners when we found Charlie Winston's of Chealsea.... Through the hidden door at the back of the "cleaners" we were into a Chinese opium den themed bar. Great customer service from Mixologists Zac and Andy not to mention awesome cocktails. A must do in Christchurch.

Absolutely loved the bar. We went for a drink after dinner. The drinks are good particularly the cocktails. The highlight was the decor. Absolutely loved it and will definitely go back

Hidden behind a (fake) dry cleaning store, this quirky bar is themed like a secret opium den. Intimate atmosphere, dim lighting, a wide range of drinks. Great fun!

Hello I came into your bar last night Jan 16th 2019 and ordered 4 drinks and a $6 shot looking at my bill today it says my $6 shot is $15 on my bill is it just a clever name or was I over charged? Either way had a great time couldn't find a phone number to call and dont have Facebook so didnt really see a way to contact you please let me know as I have left your fine city with no plans on returning anytime in the near future.
Thanks,
Brad
