Bars

Dunedin’s nightspots are up there with the best. Mou Very and Inch Bar are the smallest and quirkiest; Copa, Carousel and Toast are generally popular; while Pequeno, Albar and Tonic are favoured by the professional set.

Jamie at Toast does the best cocktails in town. Make sure you try the Dunedin Cocktail made using Quick Brown Fox when you are there.

Members of the younger demographic dance into the wee small hours at 10 Bar, Urban Factory and Monkey Bar.

These and other clubs are found near The Octagon.

Music

Music

The heyday of Dunedin’s music scene was the 1980s - early 1990s, when the so-called ‘Dunedin Sound’ bands and closely related Flying Nun record label rocked local and indie airwaves.

The Clean, The Chills, the Verlaines, Straitjacket Fits, Sneaky Feelings and 3Ds were actually quite different, but all relied to some extent on the use of reverb and ‘jangle’.

The Southern Sinfonia caters to more classical tastes.
