Evil Genius Bar & The Lair Event Space
Tucked away on Tidal View, Evil Genius is one of Ferrymead’s best kept secrets. Taking inspiration from traditional Asian street food, we serve up fresh flavours in a beautiful modern setting. Think tasty, interesting, bite sized plates that are easily shared among friends.
Our staff are friendly and knowledgeable offering a relaxed and informal dining experience. Our influences may be worldwide but they are created right here in our neighbourhood. We source local with coffee from Lyttelton’s Spook Haus coffee roaster, ales on tap from Cassel’s and wines from the rich Canterbury plains.
Settle into our small warm and cosy bar where you will be able to see the chef at work in our open kitchen, or treat yourself to stunning views across the estuary and out to the ocean in our open courtyard. An idyllic spot to relax and unwind with family and friends.
