It wasn’t an easy task for Karl and Emma Russ, owners of Sprig + Fern Upper Queen Street to narrow it down to just ten reasons to visit their Tavern. The list continues to grow since taking over the original Sprig + Fern Tavern in 2021.
- Setting the standard. As Sprig + Fern Upper Queen Street was the very first tavern, we’ve been at the forefront of creating great spaces to enjoy great beer and (mostly) good chat.
- Quiz nights every Tuesday see people come together for a drink and to test their knowledge in a fun environment. These have raised over $60,000 for community groups such as Helping Families, Tasman Tappers Dance studio, Natureland, Richmond Toy Library, sports trips for local schools and Waimea Kindy (we do a different charity every month).
- Best outdoor area in Richmond, sunny and warm in summer and also cosy in winter with outdoor heating. Plus, plenty of car parking at the back of the tavern.
- Happy hour every Monday and Friday, 4.30pm – 6.30pm, with great drinks specials.
- Free bar nibbles on Fridays and meat raffles at 5pm. Money raised from raffles goes to the charity that is hosting the quiz for the month.
- Live music once a month on a Saturday featuring our local Graeme Duncan. Come summer we live music in the beer garden with local talent.
- Great selection of local wines and food, we proudly support local as much as possible.
- Weekly food specials. Grab yourself a pizza and a pint for just $25 on a Thursday.
- Open seven days a week, even on a Monday!
- Family and pet friendly. We love to see your fur babies (and your babies).
- Proud to sponsor local sports teams Richmond Sprig + Fern Upper Queen St Masters.
