Fantastic hidden gem in Nelson. What a selection of craft beer!! They also brew their own at their on-site brewery called "Flavourtorium". The patio area is huge and inviting. This is a local favourite for a good reason. We can't wait to go back! The service was top notch too, 10/10.

Great spot, owners are awesome! Great service and super unique atmosphere. One of Nelson's best spots I think. Excellent way to meet locals and visitors and some bar snacks. You can bring food from off site and order Indian from over the road. Best beer selection in Nelson by far. 100 stars!!

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!!?

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.

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.

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

It's just an awesome place, the halloumi wraps are like a full dinner at a reasonable price. Some good IPAs here to choose from. Dog and people friendly, very nice atmosphere. Heated tables in the winter - yep have a look at the inner section tables!

Visited the Free House Pub with by brother. Never seen anything quite like it before, nothing like it in the UK. So, we were there after dark and for supper. We managed to find a table for us all to sit down. There was a great selection of craft beers to choose from, and lots of wines.
As we were there for supper, we ordered a takeaway curry from the curry house near by. This was delivered by the takeaway to the pub. We ate, and then the pub cleans up. How cool is that.
While we were there a Irish band arrived and proceeded to make music.
