Excellent bar. Great choice of beers, ciders, wine and cocktails. Certainly students predominate but others, even middle-aged men welcome. I'm back there tomorrow...

This is possibly the cleanest pub I've ever been in. It is spotless.
Whoever keeps the place clean deserves a pay increase.

This pub is situated around the corner from the University, so I'm not sure why it is such a shock to other reviewers on this site who happen to find students drinking here.
I love the artwork on the walls.

I only had time for one quick pint here and I can't remember what it was. But it was nice.

One quibble -
The barman seemed incapable of serving more than one customer at a time. I queued for almost 5 minutes to order one drink, there were only four of us in the queue and two people in front of me were only paying for food. The pub wasn't busy at the time.

Quibbles aside, I will tell anyone to drop in here when they visit Nottingham.

Good pub, good beer.

Did the place undergo a refurb lately ?
It's so clean !

Don't know why people rave about this place so much. Sure, it's ok, but you could do a lot better.

The cocktails are good, but quite expensive and take a long time to make, meaning that you can expect to queue FOREVER at the bar when it's busy
Ale is good quality, but not a big selection, and there is a decent range of bottled/draught beers, lagers and ciders, plus wines, all of which are, however, pretty overpriced. Same goes for the food, really: quite good, but definitely overpriced and not served late enough.

Gets VERY busy at weekends and given the amount of space-hogging leather couches you need to get in early to find somewhere to sit. Also a predominantly too-cool-for-school trendy student crowd. Nice beer garden, however, and the staff are generally friendly.

Go for a couple in the afternoon, maybe cocktail happy hour, and avoid later on in the evening.

An excellent pub. Good beers and pleasant surroundings and a nice outside area. Plenty of students but seem to be the more sensible type. Certainly a better place than the nearby Newcastle which seems to lost it recently only partly due to the smoking ban.
