Amazingly chill/jazzy vibe. Michaela was my server and she made me a flight of only New Zealand whiskeys. Pop in here for at least a flight. Stay for the ones you are bound to fall on love with! Easy parking on the street or in an amazingly close car park. The whiskey menu was overwhelming in its variety 😋! Trust in the bartenders and wait staff. They won't steer you wrong!
Absolutely devine and well worth the visit. Take your time, pop in here and relax to some of the best atmosphere, good and drinks I have ever had. Michaela and Arra served us and were the epitome of customer service. These ladies need a raise. Thank you so much.

If you are looking for the most interesting bar around Nelson, don't hesitate !
So good! Beautiful presentation & ambiance, lovely staff and cocktails that actually deliver (which is hard to find). Nelson has been a big surprise thanks to destinations like Kismet - I gladly accept this fate 😍
A very fun place to spend an evening. I think. I don't remember it all but the cocktails were delicious. They are very good at what they do. Great menu of classic cocktails and their own variants.
Amazing range of whiskeys, great atmosphere and Michaela is hugely knowledgeable.
Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and the waiter was really informative. Variety of cocktails, whiskies and other liquors/alcohols available. Love the nibbles.
The most extensive list of beverages I have seen. Detailed descriptions of every drink and amazing finger meals with a variety of offerings.
From interior design perspective, Kismet Bar is the place offering the inspiring.
The space was created into welcoming & mysterious atmosphere, it triggers my curiosity for discovering the space.
The most impressive point is more than decorating style here, the owner put the history of Nelson city inside of the materials he chose. If curious about the connection between the old pieces of wine barrel wood on the bar bench and the old painting on the wall? Go to ask the owner.
Meaningful interior design should fill the cultural contents inside the space, beside the colour scheme, materials and decorations etc. here it is for one good study case.

What a lovely place! My husband and I had an amazing time at Kismet. Great customer service. The polenta fries are a must-do, very crunch. We can't wait to go back and try different drinks and whiskey!
