Dux Central is a premier destination for food and drink enthusiasts in Christchurch, established in 2015 by the Dux Group as a modern homage to the pre-earthquake institution Dux de Lux. The expansive venue features multiple distinct spaces including a Brew Bar stocking over 220 local and international craft brews, an Emerald Room with 80 wines mostly available by the glass, and an intimate speakeasy-style Poplar Social Club where expert staff create bespoke cocktails. Upper Dux provides panoramic views while social spaces accommodate events and gatherings. The venue offers robust entertainment including live music on weekends, flexible event spaces for up to 140 guests without venue hire fees, and a comprehensive selection of gin offerings alongside its renowned craft beer program.
