About Nucleus
Found at the Sydenham area, Nucleus is a bar that has become part of the Sydenham dining scene. Its central position makes it easy to reach on foot from most inner-city accommodation.
The kitchen focuses on pub food and drinks. Dishes typical of this style include wedges and beer-battered fish, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. With 151 pub & bar dining options across Christchurch, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.
Opening hours for Nucleus have not been confirmed on our listing yet. As with many bars in New Zealand, trading hours can change with the seasons and public holidays, so we recommend calling ahead before you visit.
As a rough guide, expect to spend about $20–$40 a head at a bar like this. The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
