Visited on 5 May when the mighty U’s lost 4-1 to County. Pub was still closed when we arrived and had to wait a few minutes for the guy to open it up but it was worth it. A real down to earth boozer set in a none too scenic area! I had the Celtic Pale Ale which was exceptionally good – dry and bitter, my mate had the Moose Juice also good, I went on to the Nottingham Pale (I think) which was good. Only stayed for two but this would be a great pub to stay in for session, but I wanted to sample the Cross Keys, Kean’s Head, Salutation and of course the Vat & Fiddle. 9/10

Gteat boozer with great choice of real ales. Can get busy due to concert hall being nearby.

Jinky11 obviously not been for a while. King Billy now a completely different place. Beer and atmosphere brilliant. Just a shame it's a bit out the way. Still good to link up with the Moot, The Nottingham Castle and Bunkers Hill if you don't mind walking

Don't have a local accent? Check your change carefully.

Came in here after a Bryan Adams concert at the FM arena. What a knockout little boozer! About 8 real ales on , cosy litle rooms, chatty locals, and the guvnor and his good lady in no rush to kick us out. Lovely!
|
Good boozer with a reasonable range of beers. Two rooms. Cobs available (every pub should have cobs/rolls available - they are just what you want with a pint).
Just off the main city centre but well worth finding.

Although a little dubious about the caged windows, we ventured in and were pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of clientele and a good selection of real ale. Ordered a couple of pints and cobs and sat in the garden - which was very nice for what limited space they have. Will defintely go back.

A real gem of a pub - loads of different ales, sports screen, friendly staff annd locals!
|
Definately one not to miss on a serious ale crawl. Despite being a 5min trot out of town, and not accepting cards (nb-carrying large wads of cash in this part of town is not reccomended...unless buying heroin there of course) rewards greatly.
A nice mix of people as well - all ages welcome at this true no nonsense pub.

Cracking little pub. Good beer selection and reasonable prices. Friendly staff and a good bunch of locals. A bit out of the way but well worth putting yourself out to visit it. Get there for the Australian Beach Aerobics at 4:30pm !

Small and cosy traditional pub to the east of the City Centre, but within easy walking distance.
It's a fine street corner local. "Welcome to a traditional Victorian pub" is the exhortation outside. Inside is a small low ceilinged and comfortable interior with 2 interconnecting areas either side of the small bar. It's carpeted throughout, which is always a plus point in my book.
7 pumps serve a variety of mico-brewery beers. On my visit last week, these included 2 Oakham beers, Nottingham EPA and Hartington. Both the Nottingham EPA and the Oakham JHB were in good form.
The CAMRA 2009 GBG describes the pub as "one pub not to miss on a visit to Nottingham" and, whilst I'm not entirely convinced on that score, it's well worth seeking out and I'll try and get here again sometime.

Visited this Good Beer Guide pub while doing a crawl in March. Enjoyed a couple of beers with decent ABV's. Thornbridge Kipling 5.2% and Oakleaf Stokers Stout 5.0%. Friendly pub with a good choice of ales.
