2 Best Nightlife in Otago, Invercargill, and Stewart Island, New Zealand

Ironic Cafe and Bar

A decor of steel and concrete with lots of natural light gives this modern space a semi-industrial look, and every table comes with a view of the iconic Dunedin Railway Station building just across the road. You can enjoy market-fresh light fare by day and a lively cocktail scene come sunset. Its brunch is also very popular.

Union Bar

A prime spot at the heart of the university campus ensures a predominantly student clientele, though everyone is welcome. Nights are split between local or national (or even international) live rock acts and DJ-driven nights of 1980s hits, hip-hop, house, and drum 'n' bass music.
