Bel-aire Tavern - Nelson

Great to see another free house open in Nelson with a really good selection of quality local beers. Very friendly staff, who seemed more than happy to go out of their way to arrange food from the local eateries pizza, thai or fish chips. Decent regional wines on offer too plenty to keep everyone in the group happy while you sample the brews. Art deco styling adds an interesting character to the place, although a little sparse for my liking. Will only get better with time make sure to support them!

Superb venue, friendly owner/ curator, lovely beer from one of the first craft beer venues in Nelson. 5 mins from Tahunanui Beach. Visit them before they close sometime in March 2019. Sad the institution is going.

Awesome Art Deco atmosphere and very cosy , we were the only women there and didn't feel out of place . Games available while you relax. ... cards , connect 4, jenga and dominoes, outside food can be brought in from approved places , check with barman. I'd definitely visit again when back in Nelson.

Really Great selection Heaps of taps, Very nice lady behind the bar the night we went. Dog friendly outside. Great little spot!

Lovely staff, good beers, games to play. But a really funny smell like paint or glue so we had to sit outside but staff were really helpful and made us comfortable
