The Free House Pub

Welcome to The Free House, where we celebrate the vibrant world of craft beer! We’re not tied to any specific brewery; instead, we’re your gateway to a diverse selection of brews from across the country. Our journey began in the early 2000s with the Nelson Beer Fêtes, a labor of love by Mic and Eelco, who dreamed of a place to enjoy exceptional beers. In 2009, that dream became a reality when we transformed a charming old church into a welcoming pub. Here, you can explore an ever-changing array of local and independent craft beers, paired with a warm atmosphere and a community spirit. Join us for tastings, events, or a casual drink—your thirst is our passion!
