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.

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.

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!

We arrived at this bar and were sat pretty quickly. They have outdoor heaters and provide you with blankets also. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the prices weren't too high. I had mocktails and the drinks still looked and tasted great. Although they ran out of the banana leaf, for the drink called Banana Old Fashion, the group really enjoyed them but they just didn't look as pretty by the end of the night. One thing that made me drop a star is the amount of time that it took to bring out the drinks. It is far too long and would suggest that maybe an extra mixologist is on site on busy nights. Another thing that made me drop the star is the cleanliness of the toilets, it wasn't really up to scratch and the smell was rather foul.

Had another awesome experience at Kismet last weekend. They hosted a bespoke cocktail making competition for a friends hen's do and it was incredible. Nick & Andy are very knowledgeable and made sure everyone's cocktail was not only drinkable, but tasty as well. Highly recommend if you are looking to host an event! I cannot thank them enough for the amazing effort they put in. One to remember

Excellent bar. Such knowledgeable staff and great table service. The cocktails were excellent and I had to try the single malt tasting tray - may seem a bit expensive but excellent choices and great introduction to each sample by staff. Will definitely be back.
