Good service from the moment we entered until we left. Staff are friendly and courteous. Food and drinks are up there with the best. Had pizza and chips with an ale. Really great.👍👍

S.

Amazing food, Fantastic service, very friendly. This is a great place to spend some time and relax. Well done team

A.

Great place. Nice craft beer 🍺 Awesome quiz night 🌙

N.

Great beer. After reviewing the website its clear why. If you like craft beer then this is a must visit for beer drinkers.

A.

Lot of craft beer is available. Friendly staff ..they recommend according to your taste. Very good quality food with prices reasonably. Small seating arrangements are there outside too.

G.

Friendly staff and good food were let down by slow delivery. It was busy, and we warned of a 40 minute wait for food, but this turned into an hour.

M.

Staff seem to have issues with there ability to to work out there customers were intoxicated . Kept serving a group who clearly someone who was quite Drunk and loud

A.

The beers here are great, like absolutely delicious. This is coming from a former craft beer blogger. But, their food can be improved. There are no vegan options (their fries have chicken salt), and their veggie tempura was a real miss. Pints are $11, and tasting trays of 6 tasters are $19. Great quality beer and even better quality service.

C.

Beautiful food, awesome service, highly recommended😃

Z.

Loved this tavern. Many beers on tap and 10$ lunch ! Good vibe

A.

Awesome bar. Great bbq on sunday. Was my go to bar while I was in nelson. Awesome place.

B.

Great food good selection of drinks.

Y.

Nice atmosphere, lots of options on tap.

L.

Worth dropping in, very friendly staff. Only reason for the 4 star was a CC dry mix that they used what I would assume was a week old ginger ale bottle.. veeeeeery flat. I'm sure they would have re done it for me if I had asked though.

C.

Great food and so happy to change things for my allergy.

G.

Try the sprig and fern lager. One of the best I have tried on new Zealand. It's only $9 for a pint and they serve some decent food. Good place to hang out with friends. Open till late and is the last one to close in nelson

L.

Awesome place to spend a night out. Really busy and fills up real quick, but that adds to the atmosphere! Good food and their own brews on tap.

D.

Great food, great price, awesome atmosphere, great staff

Z.

This place is certainly hip. It was pretty packed with people when we arrived but it was mostly younger people having a few drinks. Bar staff where super friendly, menu was reasonable. I had a vego pizza and my partner had the lamb salad. Location is great but it was super noisy and not really suitable for a relaxing dinner. Would be a great place to hang after work or before dinner with friends for a couple of drinks.

P.

Love the Tasman Reserve and the dumplings were amazing.

R.

This place was a bit of a disappointment for us. It didn’t have the ‘craft beer’ kind of vibe we were expecting and felt like just any generic pub or bar. After looking at the menu for several minutes, ordering our drinks, then ordering food a few minutes later, we were eventually told that they didn’t have the mixed grill I ordered. I had the bangers and mash instead which was a small portion and quite bland. My girlfriend had the fish and chips which she enjoyed, but we probably wouldn’t go back.

T.

Great range of house beers with rotating seasonal taps. Tasty selection of food to keep you going whilst you sample the broad range of delicious beers. Friendly and knowledgeable staff are happy to recommend a beer to suit your tastes. All up, a lovely venue with a nice laid-back vibe.

K.

Checked out the Sprig & Fern Hardy Street yesterday afternoon and ended up back there later in the evening because it had been such a nice experience. Bar staff are very friendly and the space has a really good feel to it. Plenty of cool beers to choose from but watch out for the boozey lemonade, it's dangerously refreshing!

I.

Good beer selection, from their own brewery. Disappointing bowl of chips 🍟 ... forgot the aioli and very insipid tomato sauce ... otherwise good atmosphere.

B.

Drinking a S&F Cider on it's home turf? Scrumplicious!!

D.

Sprig and Fern Hardy street is Nelson's local pub. It's by far the best place in town. The beer is all brewed locally and they have won heaps of awards for it. The pub is great and has a patio on the front and back. The staff are amazing and you'll always meet great people here. Highly recommend !

P.

Wandered here while stopping through town and were happy with our choice. We all had very good local brews. I wish I had done a flight to try more. I ordered a cajun pizza which was on special and was excellent! I savored every bite. The outside seating is also dog friendly. They brought water out for the pups that showed up while we were eating. Friendly service, tasty lunch, and good value.

J.

All the craft beer options you will ever need. Outdoor street seating as well as inside garden bar. Nice. Been there several times and go9d value too, with live music on certain days. Food looks great too.

P.

Fantastic service. We had the vegetarian pizza and they were happy to make it vegan for us (no cheese but with extra sauce). It was delicious. They have a huge range of their own craft beers. Staff are friendly.

F.

Beer very good. For some reason wife got an alcoholic adult lemonade. A pint of vodka and lemonade. Got the $10 lunch offer. Burger pretty average, but was worth the money.

R.

Always a pleasure all the staff are spectacular kapai.

T.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Grown Up’s Lemonade - it was really tasty. I ordered the tempura veges which had an incredibly thick batter that looked and tasted just like the fish and chip batter my friend ordered. The atmosphere was nice and friendly, quite a few people in but service was attentive.

C.

Great environment and very very very friendly staffs (pretty too!) They have live bands too but can't remember which day. Awesome choice of beers with tasting available.

E.

Really nice food and beer

L.

Popped in here for a quick dessert and glass of wine. I had been told that this was a great local bar and it did not disappoint! I had one of their excellent chocolate bourbon balls with a glass of great NZ rose and people-watched from the corner. Initially the bartender I got came off a bit salty and surly, but he warmed up a bit in the end. The other bartender was a bit more jovial and engaging and by the time I left you could tell this was a regular spot for some of the locals as well as a place recommended by the locals to visitors in the area. They looked like they had a good menu, if I had been in Nelson an additional night, I would have come back for lunch or dinner.

D.

Oh my goodness!! Love this place, menu looks impressive too.

K.

Delicious beers and ciders, and yummy snacks. Lovely atmosphere.

N.

Wide range of S & F beers, nice wines and quite a selection of bar meals. Good for an after drink, chatting and listening to music. They often have live musicians.

J.

Went here for a few drinks on a Sunday evening. We enjoyed the entertainment out back. Friendly staff with great local craft beers & wine.

J.

A deceptively large bar off the main drag of Trafalgar Street but only a couple of minutes walk from it, they have a good selection of local beers, sensibly priced food and live music most nights. Plenty of seating and tables away from the band areas so you don't get deafened if you just want a bite to eat.

G.

Cheap and nice! good music, testy food, fair price, recommend

j.

Ok, nothing particularly special. There are lots of options...the beer selection wasn't really for my pallete, but thats a preference. Friendly staff.

J.

Not great beer when compared to other local craft brewers. The dry hopped pilsner is workable. Unremarkable pub meals, not sure how they mess up something as simple as aioli so regularly. Quiz night is good, except when the misogynistic/sexist guy is on the microphone. Nelson's options are.... limited.

D.

First time there. It was busy with a good feel. A great place to go for a drink after work or a mountain bike ride. Friendly staff that work well under pressure and still have that friendly welcoming smile. A great place to go.

T.

Nothing special about this bar. Not overly clean. Staff could be friendler

R.

Not a bad wee place. Nice staff. The food was a bit pricey for the size.

A.

Great bar, friendly with a good atmosphere. The staff were really helpful when I lost something. Good range of local/international drinks too.

C.

Good range of beers and ciders. Nice food, easy going bar staff and great live bands. surroundings are a bit bland and boring unfortunately.

C.

Great place tables don't suit large groups very well unfortunately

E.

Good range of beers. Nice burger and the kitchen was open quite late, we ordered around 10pm on a Thurs evening.

K.

A bit of a 'pokey old pub' feel but meals were fine and really appreciated the beer tasting before I made my selection. Good service.

D.

Good beer, nice chill vibe, good music selection. Food looked good but we did not try. Outdoor seating available.

N.

This lovely venue presents consistently good food and excellent service. I have tired much of there menu, and many beers, and have not been disappointed.

T.

Brilliant place for a pint. Some great options. Very nice!

J.

Friendly staff and a huge range on tap. Love the grown up lemonade and berry cider. Just tried their $10 lunch menu and was so good
