I visited The Vic Public House several times during my stay in Nelson recently, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The burgers here are good too. Well-worth a try! The pub has both outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor area is quite popular and can get crowded, but it's great for a sunny day. The staff are welcoming and add to the relaxed atmosphere of the pub. It's a well-liked spot, so there's usually a lively vibe, especially in the outdoor area. In summary, The Vic Public House is a great choice for a casual outing in Nelson. Good food, a pleasant environment, and friendly service all contribute to its charm. Definitely deserving of 5 stars. Price per person $30–40 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2 Recommended dishes Southern Fried Chicken
I recently indulged in the banoffee pie at The Vic pub, and it was an absolute delight! The perfect blend of creamy toffee, ripe bananas, and a crumbly crust made it the best dessert I've had. While I only tried the pie, the cozy atmosphere and friendly service at The Vic added to the overall enjoyable experience. A must-visit for any dessert enthusiast in Nelson!

Nice airy pub with good Guinness which is a great start. There's a range of DB beers (labelled Mac's but the real Mac's is back in Nelson) too. Decent offerings of food, poutine, burgers and fish and chips and on a Wednesday night quick service. Interesting tables with different length legs to match the floor steps. Price per person $30–40 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

What a great pub/eatery they have established here. It some how has that old school pub feel, with a great restaurant/ eatery to boot. The food is excellent, well priced and fresh! The staff are fantastic, helpful and chatty. Loved our visit here and will absolutely be back.

Extremely disappointed after strolling across this place on a trip to Nelson. Took a good 20mins before we were served, 5 of us decided on the roast of the day, waiter returns only 4 available, 1 changed meals. Waiter returns again to advise only 2 available so we ask what is available, no buttermilk chicken, no fish of the day, no burgers… orders were changed. We then waited an hour for the so called Chicken Parmi which I can only assume is a chicken tender with a touch of pasta sauce and cheese. Extremely disappointed and left still hungry.
hi, We just had pizza delivered to us from Willi's Pizza on Deliver Easy last night, a quick Google check tells me it's from your kitchen. now normally I wouldn't leave a review, but honestly we are so beyond disappointed with our food. The house slaw which I paid $6 for was warm and bitter, the fries were undercooked and my god the pizza's are horrendous. I have photos of my pepperoni and margarita pizza's, can you tell me which is which? the bases are overcooked, dry and hard, the sauce base is chunky and bitter, there are whole chunks of garlic and unripe tomato. There is honestly nothing redeemable from this meal, perhaps the kind and lovely delivery girl.
Besides the amazing drinks and atmosphere, these guys offer excellent customer service. I wanted a beer and the amazing bartender custom made a brandy-hot lemon tea for my partner who had a sore throat. (It wasn't even on the menu!) They were also so courteous throughout the evening.
