Back again. Tiny Rebel Cwtch was on fine form at £3.80.

I like this pub and always get in here when in the town. This time the Castle Rock Red Riding Hood did not live up to it's reputation. My mates beer was fine, can't remember what it was. Will try again on my next visit to town.
|
was in the keans yesterday,with a friend.tried the Castle Rock Harvest Pale.
really well kept pint.£3.00 a pint.
Will be back soon.
|
Great little pub, with a good selection of pubby food on offer to go with your very well looked after pint. The guy working behind the bar - who I've seen working up at the Lincolnshire Poacher - is very good at his job. Great customer service.

Visited to see the mighty U’s perform better than last year and only lose 3-1 to County! Good ale, had the Jarrow something or other and the Isis which was 5% but didn’t taste like it, also had the venison and black pudding pie, chips and veg which was very tasty and pretty good value for £9.45. Serving staff were very efficient and friendly. This is a very good one room pub, pleasant atmosphere and interesting interior. 8/10
|
Used to be a fun place but the old staff have been replaced by a bunch of sour-faced teddy-boys.
Fingers crossed this will change soon.....
|
More of a cafe bar than a traditional pub, but the beers were in top form and there was a good selection of foreign bottles. The food also looked very good. The sort of place I'd take my wife if she insisted on coming out with me.
|
Called in recently to tick it off my pubs visited in CAMRA Great British Pubs book (which is worth purchasing) and was made more than welcome.Many excellent beers available and staff extremely friendly
|
Visited on 5 May when the mighty U�s lost 4-1 to County. Had a very good pint of brown ale and the lamb burger to fuel the rest of the trip. Very good pub, a contrast with the King Billy but good all the same, and pleasing to see a brown ale. 8/10
|
Always a good Choice of well kept Ales. Bottled beer range also excellent. And to top it all the Gents loo is right next to the bar to save valuable drinking time.
|
Got to be the coldest pub in Nottingham..Freezing and only two beers on at the time of our visit but would be ok in summer.
|
Nice beers and choice. Good place though sometimes some of the clientele think some of the other customers are beneath them. Will be back
|
The range of beers in here is truly excellent. Worth popping in and giving a couple a try! Also their sandwiches are huge..
|
Another Castle Rock Brewery pub which is a very pleasant place to have a beer and a bite. Not far from the tram and reasonably secluded to be quiet and peaceful.
|
Very pleasant pub with good atmosphere, though beerb quality not quitre as good as I remember and food more ordinary than I expected given reputation. Having said that, Brew Dog bottled range earns an extra mark !
|
Smallish, squarish city centre pub selling a variety of decent ales. Ale I had was decent (Castel Rock Harvest Pale) and the ambience was pleasant enough.

Funny sort of place - almost continental in appearance, but serving a good variety of beers and ales. Nice place to relax and enjoy a few drinks.
|
A hidden gem of a pub, the Kean's Head has a fantastic beer selection. The client�le seem to consist of a lot of lecturers from the nearby NCN buildings, giving it a relaxed atmosphere. Great staff too.
|
I called in for the first time last week, and as expected the beer was good - typical Tynemill/Castle Rock quality although the place is smaller than most Tynemill pubs and the beer selection is also smaller. Nothing wrong with that - 5 ales were on and my selection was a very good pint. A friendly atmosphere although I visited at a relatively quiet time (Sunday afternoon). I will certainly call again.
|
Definately one of my top 5 pubs in the entire city for food, booze & atmosphere, with friendly staff & regulars. Along with good local ale, they quite often have some favourites in from my hometown in Yorkshire. The homemade Scotch egg is top notch, as is the whisky shelf split into the regions.
|
I love this pub! One of my favourite beers is Castle Rock harvest Pale and I always get a good pint. The food is excellent and I make the effort to eat here whenever I'm in Nottingham. The pub is especially good for a pre show beer before moving on to the Ice Arena. Anyone thinking this place is a stuck up gastro pub is not right in the head and if the bar staff think you have had too much, you probably have!
|
Fairly trendy boozer masquerading as a gastro-pub. I'm not such a fan of this place to be honest - its too small and pretentious for my liking and it seemed to focused on food and less on being a decent pub. The food did indeed look nice, but if you are just drinking and want a decent pub, then I wouldn't reccomend this place. 3 Castle Rock ales were on but as I don't really have a lot of time for this brewery, I went for the sole guest available from the Ossett brewery, which was perfectly acceptable.

If there is any justice the female in the duty manager role tonight will be sacked very soon! Unbelieveable, horrendous cheek tonight when she declared my acquaintances and I had "had to much too drink" so wasn't serving us. How dare she decide what amount we've had, (we weren't slightly wobbly we'd been drinking choice real ale over the course of several hours and were on a pub tour of the city) which by the way was around 4-5 pints over 4 hours and lots of walking around. She made us feel like drunken scum! Is she a barmaid or a pathologist? Absolutely livid and as a result I won't visit here again until she has been let go!!
|
Before we even get onto the bber - you MUST dine here. Simply one of the best places to eat in town, and that includes the restaurants!
Ever changing selection of brews, and a good bottle selection cover all the bases. Young, friendly staff ensure a pleasent stay.
|
visited yesterday great place, good beers, friendly staff and the food looked nice !
|
Very small square pub that is very food oriented. It's a Tynemill pub so mainly Castle Rock beers. I had a pint of the Elsie Mo and a plateful of sausage and mash. Both were very good. It's well hidden away but worth finding. Not very pubby but it's still good.
|
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.

Very good food and even better ale.
|
A true gem for real ale drinkers in the heart of the Lace Market
|
A pleasant busy non smoking pub and served good beer too.
|
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.
|
Bright pub with cheerful staff and decent beer-Castle Rock etc.Well worth a look if your round here.
|
One of my favourites; excellent beer, not too dear IMHO; friendly staff and they have music some evenings
|
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.
