Not at all a bad place, but suffered on the day by comparison to other pubs visited. Good choice of beer in fine condition, but just not ‘pubby’ enough for my liking – single square room, busy Sat 13:00, but occupied by what seemed to be something of a brunch crowd. Indeed, the homemade specials did sound good at £8/9 (eg Italian sausage casserole). Presumed to be named after shakespearian actor Edmund Kean, the pub is situated just round the corner from the attractive St Mary’s church. Bateman’s XB, Crouch Vale Eldorado, Elgood Cambridge bitter, Castle Rock Harvest Pale & Elsie Mo.

Good Tynemill Pub but I would not rate as high as the Vat & Fiddle and Newshouse. Very good beer but atmosphere not quite as good. Had an excellent pint of Batemans XB

Top pub in the city. The selection of beer was and is first class, not only local ales such as Castle Rock but also from further afield i.e Mauldons Micawbers Mild. The food is also excellent and they serve a multitude of specials during the course of the day.
The staff all had a ready smile and happy to chat about local issues etc.
This is what every town pub should be like. 10 out of 10 guys. Keep up the fantastic work.

The Castle Rock Sherwood Oak was excellent. There was a good selection of foreign beers to complement the six real ales. If I could have found somewhere to sit, I might have tried the food, which looked good.

Small, one roomed Tynemill Pub. Good food, and excellent ales. Comfortable atmosphere where you can sit and read a newspaper or dine with friends. Appeals to all kinds of people. One of Nottingham's better Tynemill pubs.

A true gem for real ale drinkers in the heart of the Lace Market

Single room Tynemill pub; very cosy and great beer. Menu looked really good too.

This is a very pleasant non-smoking pub with an excellent choice of micro-brewery beers. It also offers a good choice of food at reasonable prices.

Great beer, what you would expect from tyne mill. Well worth a visit

Great no smoke policy.

Food is OK, beer is good but expensive.

The bad bit - too crowded and hot in even slightly warm weather. Considering it was refurbished recently, they could have put in air-con. Typical Tynemill group to skimp on detail and not consider the customer.

Excellent bar, non-smoking, but could do with some live Jazz to enhance the atmosphere

Lovely little pub in the trendy Lace Market area of Nottingham.

Recently refurbished and now a non-smoking pub.

Four real ales and some funky contintental stuff on draught and in bottles.
