Cozy little microbrewery in the heart of Nelson! Rustic decor, large sidewalk patio, and friendly service make this an enjoyable place to try a flight of various small batch brews. Don't forget to purchase a 1L or 2L growler of your favorite from Backroads Brewing Co.!

Great local craft brewery that opens on Canada day with a great live rock band!!! Tried the no. 1, 4, and 5. All excellent choices - best craft brewery of my rocky road trip. You guys make the drive worth it 😄

Started off as a great experience…bartender poured us some tasters, then a pint around 9:30. They mentioned last call was soon, but no big deal. We were having a great time, until 9:55 when the bartender came out and told us “we are closing and you must finish your drinks”. He did not specify a time or duration, so we carried on chatting and sipping our drinks. At 10:20, he came by again and said “we closed 20 minutes ago and I poured your drinks 50 minutes ago.” At this point, even though they advertised being open until 11:00 PM, we were kicked out before 10:30 PM and could not finish our drinks.

Helpful servers. Nice dog friendly patio. Tasty pretzels and pepperoni sticks.

DOG OWNERS Patio is dog friendly as long as your dog is well behaved and on a leash. Great beer, nice staff, and great place to hang out for some drinks.

#158 on the world brewery tour! Good beer and atmosphere! Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Nelson!

The beer was really yummy and we had a great time sitting on the patio. This place was quaint and very friendly. We will definitely be back.

This brewery and taproom is well situated on the main strip of the city. There are bites and food offerings - the pretzels are baked in house and the sausage is sourced locally. Most importantly the beers are awesome. Our favorites included the Saison and Porter. The staff are exceptional and there's a glowing vibe day and night. Don't miss this place when you're in town.

Good beer friendly staff. Usually busy. No parking.

Great spot on Baker st to have an afternoon drink! Good people watching and even better beer!

What a great Atmosphere and amazing food. The brisket tacos are fabulous and you need to try the Habanero how sauce. It's very good. We even bought a bottle. Only gripe is that they were short staffed and it took a bit for beer and drink orders. It wouldn't stop me from going again. It was worth the wait.

Great, downtown, casual, friendly bar with excellent beers. Such a joy to go to a pub which doesn't have big TV screens all round the room and that has bar rather than table service. This is the kind of pub that is just as comfortable to go for a pint on your own as it is with friends. Please don't change! Will be back any time I am in Nelson. Cheers!
