In August 2007 my girlfriend and i did a road trip around the south island of NZ in a camper van.
One of the highlights for pubs and bars of the many visited was the "ABBEY BAR".
It is located on the way to the national park and Ruby Bay from Nelson approx 30 mins.
There were alot of good wineries in the region but this was a really good change from the many many wineries.
The atmosphere was very relaxed with families and random visitors.
I don't recall the guys name behind the Bar but his brother built the pub from an old church many years before.
He was very knowledgable about beer and all things alcohol. Letting you taste different beers before you bought them.
There were plenty of beers brewed locally on tap which were awesome.
If you are ever in this area I recommend a visit.
