CRUZ IS BACK IN BUSINESS AND OPERATING FROM A SAFE LITTLE BUNKER OF A BUILDING AT 77 VICTORIA STREET

If you can’t find us on the corner of Peterborough & Victoria Streets (opposite the Casino) then just look for the rainbow flags that are always flying in the breeze. It’s a very prominent location, and as always we make no attempt to hide ourselves away, and nor should we!

The new club is nowhere near big enough to meet all the needs of our customers, but by the end of July 2012 we will have expanded into the larger 1st-floor space above, and there will be a proper nightclub again. For now, Cruz appreciates your support, and we are working as fast as we can to restore normality to the city’s gay entertainment scene. Once that development is complete we will again have room for a pool table and a proper dance-floor, plus an outdoor balcony again for those dirty ‘ol smokers

CRUZ is open Wednesday to Sunday each week from 7pm till 5am, with a DJ playing chart and dance favourites Thursday to Saturday. There’s a $5 cover-charge after 10pm at the weekend, which increases after 1am.

During the daytime we share the premises with a cafe’ that has also been displaced from their building by quake damage. You will see the signs for Procope Cafe’ on the building from 7am till late afternoon. Please pop in and support the guys there, because they played a big part in us being able to get up and running again as fast as we did. Great food, great coffee, and a “family” barista

THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR THE THE SUPPORT THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THIS LAST 12 MONTHS – AFTER 30 YEARS OPERATING GAY CLUBS IN CHRISTCHURCH, TONY AND BRUCE ARE STILL GOING STRONG!
