| The place to get in touch with your inner cave man - NOT for those susceptible to claustrophobia (!) Very interesting for the historically minded - but one felt a bit marked out as "grockle" actually trying to read the history cribs on the walls. Good to see what seemed to be regulars in a tourist trap, but also a bit intimidating. Beer was perfectly ok, food was a bit usual-suspects and I didn't appreciate having to order dessert at the same time because the kitchen was closing - at eight? If it wasn't a Famous Place it would not get away with that. Or people having to move without being asked to avoid decapitation by the ye-olde swinging-rope pub game (!) girldrinksbeer - 16 Nov 2008 21:47 |
| nice pint ("trip"), excellent cosy places to sit upstairs. Touristy yes but well worth a stop if in the area. dan88 - 11 Nov 2008 21:34 |
| Allegedly 12th century, and partly built into Castle Rock itself, the Olde Trip to Jerusalem may be a victim of its own notoriety as well as of being owned by Greene King, but it is still an interesting place to visit and there are several beers on, even if Olde Trip ale isn't (apparently) what it was. As people have said, it would be a shame not to visit it, after all, if you were in Nottingham. Though the city does have many other pubs, several in the Good Beer Guide, and there is a tendency for very well known establishments to exert a kind of 'Top Ten Syndrome', by which a handful of well known ones get all the custom and the others wither away. It isn't their fault but let's not forget the backstreet pubs - they also serve (beer). rainlight - 17 Sep 2008 20:53 |
| Didn’t realise it had an upstairs, where the ‘built-into-the-rock’ site becomes even more evident. The main upper room is quietly atmospheric and has an untended corner bar supporting the ‘cursed galleon’ now heavy with dirt and dust but safely housed in a glass case to avoid any more prospective cleaners shuffling off this mortal coil, as the last 3 did in apparently mysterious circumstances. By the fireplace there is also the ‘pregnancy chair’ which you are not to sit on, firstly for obvious reasons, but also coz it’s fragile! Lots of nooks & crannies to explore and was easy to do so since it was pleasantly quiet Sun (14:00), apparently there’s a nack to hooking the ring in the downstairs bar onto the wall-mounted horn opposite – I don’t have it. It’s greedyk but they did have a genuine guest, Kamakaze from Dent brewery, also Refectory, Ruddles County, then GKipa, XX Mild, Abbot, OSH, Olde Trip. When a request went in for chip cobs, not being on the menu in a tourist pub meant, I thought, no chance, but fair play, they warmed up some baguettes and presented with butter, sauces, and excellent chips, credit where it’s due… See the name in bold sign-work on the outside? Seemingly Mark’s uncle used to paint that every 6-months to keep it sharp. My review of the Bell mentioned that hostelry’s claim to be the oldest Inn, thinking this was the oldest pub(1189) but, now, looking at the photo, I’m confused. trainman - 9 Sep 2008 17:48 |
| It is a tourist attraction but still a remarkable building and served a good pint of Ruddles County today. Tigerdrinker - 7 Sep 2008 22:13 |
