Arden Bar & Kitchen is a contemporary restaurant, wine bar and cocktail bar at 216 Hardy Street in central Nelson. It sits behind a heritage shopfront, and its website describes the space as cosy, casual yet considered.
The food and drink lists change often, featuring produce and drinks from local and international growers, brewers and makers. Seating options include a courtyard garden, a long bar, a window seat and a dining room for larger groups.
Lunch is served Wednesday to Saturday from 12 to 4pm, and dinner and snacks run Wednesday to Sunday from 4pm until late. Walk-ins are welcome, and bookings are accepted for groups of any size. The website has an events page and points larger groups to the dining room, but it does not publish capacity figures, so group organisers should contact the venue to confirm numbers.
The website does not name the owners or chef, and it lists no awards.
