Sprig & Fern Craft Beer Taverns

Milton Street Sprig & Fern Tavern

134 Milton Street, The Wood, Nelson.

Set in a renovated bungalow in a graceful old part of town, the Sprig and Fern Tavern in Milton Street provides a cosy, relaxing and intimate atmosphere loved by locals and visitors alike

The Milton Street Tavern was awarded New Zealand's 'Best Bar' in the 2012 Hospitality New Zealand Awards for Excellence, a national accolade that followed on from winning Nelson 'Bar of the Year'. The following year we won Best New Zealand Beer Venue in the Beer and Brewer Magazine People's Choice Awards. That's why, on any night of the week you'll find the locals enjoying their home away from home, with a pint of Nelson's finest craft beer in hand.

Queen Street Sprig & Fern Tavern

126 Queen Street, Richmond, Nelson

The Tavern on Queen Street, Richmond, opened its doors in December 2004 and later became the first Sprig & Fern Tavern. Over time it's become a part of daily life for locals who enjoy the homely and casual atmosphere of the Tavern. Not only can you get great beer any day of the week, you can order fish and chips from the chippy next door and enjoy them with a pint in the beer garden.

The Tavern is unpretentious, you can be exactly who you are and enjoy a real pub atmosphere and real craft beer brewed just down the road at the Sprig and Fern Brewery on Beach Rd.

Motueka Sprig & Fern Tavern

Wallace Street, Motueka (opposite the Gecko Theatre)

The Motueka Sprig and Fern Tavern sits just off the High Street in the centre of the city and provides a full range of locally brewed craft beer, ales and ciders along with a good number of the best local wines. A warm fire and comfy armchairs make having a good old chat a real pleasure.

Traditional bar meals are available including gourmet pizzas, platters to share and hearty burgers and steaks. Even the packets of potato chips are made locally in Upper Moutere.

Tahuna Sprig & Fern Tavern

13 Beach Road, Tahunanui, Nelson (opposite the playing fields)

The Tahuna Sprig and Fern Tavern opened just before Christmas 2012, and she's a little beauty! The site that formerly operated as Amigos restaurant has been transformed into another charming suburban tavern, with classic weatherboard cladding and the white picket fence that has become one of the Sprig's motifs.

There's some really nice outdoor spaces to enjoy the great Nelson weather, and plenty of comfort inside as well.

Petone Sprig & Fern Tavern

146 Jackson Street, Petone

The Petone Sprig and Fern Tavern opened in September 2013, and is a really lovely conversion of the historic Raynor & Woodward hardware store building, which dates back well over a century. There's lots of exposed brickwork inside, and the old sarking has been retained around the fireplace to pay tribute to the history of the building, whilst plenty of comfortable space and seating has been added.

There's a partially covered outdoor space out the back as well. Owners Ian and Annette look forward to welcoming you.
