Eddyline Pizzeria & Brewpub

Located just off the Great Taste Trail, we are the ideal place to stop and sample the delights of the Nelson Tasman region. Perfection is a flavourful craft ale or lager with a slice of our wood-fired pizza. We proudly serve Eddyline Brewery beers, which are brewed right down the road (4 minute bike), in Stoke, Nelson using an all electric, solar powered steam-fired brewery,  using the best NZ hops and others from around the world, 100% NZ malt, and specialty yeast strains that come together to create the award-winning beers we are now known for. In addition, we offer local Nelson wines, ciders and a variety of delightful non-alcoholic options. The term pub comes from Public House, meaning a place that we like to think of as a community's living room; a place to meet and socialize with old friends and make new friends. 

If keen, the Silvan Mountain Bike park is just up Champion Road where you can ride our signature trail CrankYanker before celebrating your ride with one of our fine beers. Opening in early 2023 is the brewery tasting room and New Mexican Taqueria at 15 Elms Street.
