The Best Bar in Upper South Island and the West Coast, New Zealand

This locale is one of nine Sprig & Fern outlets throughout the Nelson region and Wellington, pouring 100% natural beers and ciders from the Nelson-based brewery. At the flagship bar, there is indoor and courtyard seating, a good bistro menu, and often live music on Saturday night. If you're looking for an even more casual tipple, the Sprig & Fern at nearby Milton Street is a true neighborhood bar set in an old villa.
