Amazingly chill/jazzy vibe. Michaela was my server and she made me a flight of only New Zealand whiskeys. Pop in here for at least a flight. Stay for the ones you are bound to fall on love with! Easy parking on the street or in an amazingly close car park. The whiskey menu was overwhelming in its variety 😋! Trust in the bartenders and wait staff. They won't steer you wrong!

Whiskey and fine cocktails… name a better duo 👌🏼 Kismet Cocktail & Whisky Bar is the perfect chill zone for some quality yarns and some even more quality beverages.
The staff were perfectly attentive and the owners were lovely and welcoming. Got to try a dram of Winter Storm by Glenfiddich.

I Trusted My Bartender to Build Me a Flight
A great whisky bar! An Ardbeg ambassy. They have an astonishing number of Scotch single malts.
Being on the other side of the world (most) prices are quite fair.
In some Scotish pubs you pay much more.

So good! Beautiful presentation & ambiance, lovely staff and cocktails that actually deliver (which is hard to find). Nelson has been a big surprise thanks to destinations like Kismet - I gladly accept this fate 😍
From interior design perspective, Kismet Bar is the place offering the inspiring.
The space was created into welcoming & mysterious atmosphere, it triggers my curiosity for discovering the space.
The most impressive point is more than decorating style here, the owner put the history of Nelson city inside of the materials he chose. If curious about the connection between the old pieces of wine barrel wood on the bar bench and the old painting on the wall? Go to ask the owner.
Meaningful interior design should fill the cultural contents inside the space, beside the colour scheme, materials and decorations etc. here it is for one good study case.
A very fun place to spend an evening. I think. I don't remember it all but the cocktails were delicious. They are very good at what they do. Great menu of classic cocktails and their own variants.
