To our beloved Eleven family ❤️
This is by far the hardest post we’ve ever had to write.
After three unforgettable years, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to close our doors at Eleven.
Our final day of operations will be Saturday, 13/06/2026.
This decision has not come easy. Despite our best efforts, rising operating costs, ongoing increases in council imposed expenses, and circumstances beyond our control have made it impossible for us to continue.
But today is not about sadness. Today is about gratitude.
To every single one of you who walked through our doors, shared a drink, celebrated milestones, brought your friends, supported local, laughed with us, trusted us with your special moments, or simply made Eleven part of your life, thank you.
You gave Eleven a soul.
What started as a dream became something so much bigger because of this incredible community. Together, we built more than just a bar and restaurant, we built memories, friendships, celebrations, and a place that truly felt alive.
To our loyal regulars, first-time guests who became family, and every person who supported us in any way, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support, kindness, and loyalty meant more than words can express.
Over the next two weeks, we would love to see as many familiar faces as possible. Come in, have a drink, share a laugh, and make one final memory with us.
Christchurch, thank you for embracing us, supporting us, and making Eleven what it was.
This is not goodbye with sadness. This is goodbye with gratitude.
With Love ❤️
