    Stopped in for a brew after travelling for 7 hours. Made to feel welcome from the get go by the locals, had great service from the staff and enjoyed the live music. Karen was a great host, thanks also to Regan. Stayed for a few, recommend this establishment for a taste of Southern hospitality.

    We love coming here. A laid back atmosphere. Great staff. A quirky venue full of mystique and intrigue. Thanks to patron Connor who would flirt with anyone for a free drink. You made us laugh but mostly it was at you not with you! Lol

    This bar would be cool anywhere in the world. Full of curios and interesting memorabilia, great drinks selection, lots of character, and 2 levels of rooftop bars. Friendly service. So glad we found this place. If you’re passing through Timaru check this bar out.

    Hector Blacks is by far the best bar in timaru. Good service, great cocktails and the best vibes in Canterbury! Said while drinking Pinot, patting Nash the doggo and lounging on their couch

  • 4/5 Matthew K. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to go for a drink, nice atmosphere and the drinks are pretty good. Staff are all lovely to deal with. Only thing that might help the overall atmosphere is if they where a bit more discerning at the front door as to who they let in. A slightly stricter dress code may help. But overall a great bar

  • 5/5 Emily C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very quirky and fun place! Plus Nash (the dog/son of Hector) is a great host - will absolutely be back
