Renowned for hearty meals, foaming ales and an excellent wine selection, Smugglers has built a distinctive identity and earned a special place in the hearts of generations of Nelsonians. Now serving its second generation, the business continues to attract a loyal following of regular patrons, casual diners, and visitors to the region.
