Evil Genius
About
On South Island, Evil Genius occupies 1091 Ferry Road in Ferrymead, Christchurch 8023, a suburban stretch on the city's eastern side. Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura all lie within reach for anyone touring the island, though Christchurch itself is the immediate base.
Evil Genius is a bar, and it has built a following in Ferrymead since opening. First-time visitors should expect a working taproom rather than a late-night club, with the doors open Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 12:00 to 20:00 and Friday and Saturday from 12:00 to 22:00, while Monday and Tuesday remain closed. The venue's 4.6 out of 5 rating from 550 reviews places it among the more reviewed bars in the city, and the website https://www.evilgenius.co.nz/ carries its own details.
Reaching the venue from central Christchurch is straightforward along Ferry Road, and the wider South Island network of towns means a visit slots into most itineraries. Winter on the island runs from June to August, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, so the bar stays comfortable year-round.
