Very friendly staff, colonial era building and high quality beer and wine with good choices. Exterior and interior are really good for family and friends gettogether. Of course good food. Its rely a special atmosphere. Feel at home.

We came here looking for a beer and were not disappointed. It was a very warm day and the outside areas were very busy. Despite all the crowds we sat down and shared a table with some locals. Such a great time. Before we knew we had almost missed our dinner reservations. Great place!

If you like great beers, ciders etc this is the place to go. Even sometimes has English style real ales...which are like hens teeth in NZ! Old church so can be cold in winter. Great covers outdoor area. Staff friendly. Be warned doesn't come cheap!!?

Such a wonderful experience. Dogs and children both welcome. Amazing atmosphere. People playing cards. It was also a treat to take our dog and find her so welcome by everyone there. What a lovely way to spend some time. I especially loved the ingenious outdoor heating.

Great selection of beer and great service. Wood fire indoors and water heated pipes built into the outdoor tables (never seen this before!). Loved visiting in winter. Highly recommend!

My parents recommended this place after they found it on their tour of New Zealand and it's awesome. Great choice of beers, very friendly staff and a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Dog friendly too and you can bring your own food. Board games are available and the log burner adds plenty of warmth on cold days. Went twice in my short stay in Nelson and will definitely be back when I'm next in town.

Nice tap house tucked away in a garden hosting a former church. Limited food options but the chips are great. Maverick stout is amazing. Worth a stop

We came here with a large group. There was plenty of seating outside. You are allowed to bring your own food in with you. We saw families enjoying fish and chips and pizzas, and groups of people playing board games. The craft beer selection is great

I love this old church that has turned into a pub.I would not have known about this amazing gem if the guy at our accommodation told about the free house pub. The atmosphere here is great.Amazing selection of beers and great hot chips.
