Welcome to The Vic,
Nelson’s Public House

Who We Are

Originally The Vic Rose was founded in the mid 90s and quickly became Nelson's premium watering hole. Then, in the early 00s, it was transformed into The Vic Mac's Brewbar and ownership was taken over by yours truly, The Williams family, in 2010.

Now in our 16th year of ownership, The Vic Public House has had a facelift and the people behind it are still going strong. We are a family business through and through and collectively have over 50 years of experience in the hospitality industry.

For us, that's what it's all about - hospitality - and going back to the root of that concept of creating an environment where people from all walks of life are welcome, making your house a home for anyone who enters it and regenerating that person for whatever they're off to next.

Originally from the UK, hospitality is in our blood. Our Grandfather owned a café in the midlands of England back in the mid 20th century, and our Great Grandfather ran a pub in which now is at home in the Black Country Museum. So you could say we know what we are doing!
