Nestled in the heart of Nelson, Fanny’s is set to become the city’s newest gathering place, a warm, inviting stylish pub built for connection, community, and character. Opening this November, Fanny’s brings together the comfort of a local favourite with imaginative cuisine, quality brews, and a true sense of Nelson’s coastal charm.

At Fanny’s, we honour the resilience, artistry, and authenticity that define the region. While Nelson carries Admiral Nelson’s name, our inspiration is drawn from Frances Nelson (Fanny), a symbol of quiet strength and enduring spirit. Just as Fanny weathered life’s storms with grace, so too has this town flourished between sea and mountains, nurturing a culture of makers, dreamers, and doers. Our pub celebrates that legacy in every detail, from the menu to the pour.

Step inside and you’ll find a space where comfort meets character. Rustic wood, warm lighting, and art create an atmosphere that feels familiar yet fresh. Whether you’re catching up with friends or making new ones, Fanny’s feels like home. Our menu focuses on soul food done well: dishes that satisfy, surprise, and showcase local produce. Expect hearty yet refined flavours, generous portions, and a twist of creativity.

On tap, you’ll find quality brews, local craft, classic favourites, and carefully chosen imports. Our bar team will serve with heart, helping you find the perfect beer, cocktail, wine, or low-alcohol option. Whether you crave a crisp session lager or a bold IPA, Fanny’s is a place for exploration and enjoyment.

But more than food and drink, Fanny’s is about connection. We want it to be somewhere people linger, laugh, and make memories. Over time, we’ll host live music, events, and collaborations with local creatives, becoming part of Nelson’s social fabric.

We can’t wait to welcome you through the doors. Fanny’s is ready to pour a new chapter for Nelson, with heart, soul, and a pint in hand.
