This is a great pub. Used to spend at least 2 nights a week here supping a fine pint of workie ticket. Jimmy the manager is a great guy. Not been in the bar for a couple of years now, but have fond memories. Hotspur I miss you!

I used to live 5 mins walk away from this pub and it was absolute heaven. The beer is well kept and the range is awesome. Friendly bar staff that know their beer. Try the great range of beers brewed on site. If you ever get stuck at derby station it will make the wait a pleasure / keep missing trains and lie to your partner!

Visit the potters a few times a year as the girlfriends folks live nearby. Always been a friendly local full of characters. Keeps changing hands, I think it has since the last time I was there. Always some real ale about, worth a vist!

Good beer, friedly staff. No mobiles, great! Put the thing on vibrate and wander outside when you need to talk. Some reviews describe this place as strict, POW camp like.... get real. Could do with a few more rooms and sometimes feels a little too set up for food. As for hype, its a friendly pub that sells good well kept beer. Its hardly rocked science!

great pub, with great beer and friendly drinkers. Gets a bit crowded, but worth it!

Plastic in a plastic housing estate full of plastic accoutants. This may sound harsh, but I used to live over the road from the pub in lovely compton acres, the land of snooty people.

The Vat and Fiddle, Nottingham
The quality of the beers sums this pub up, and it has always been excellent, both in quality and range. Never been refused surface unlike some previous reviwers. Have met the cat, and might be the homeless man / bear that stole you tobacco!

The Salutation Inn, Nottingham
Hate to be sour, but the beer recently has been terrible. Although the rock karaoke was the best entertainment I have seen in years. Used to like it, but now tend to avoid it after a few too many dodgy pints!

The Royal Children, Nottingham
Thera, that is a great pub review. Never saw the noisy american at the bar, always found enough noisy brits in there to be honest.

Gone from being a student bar to a post re-fit first date bar. it alright!

A hidden gem, no real ale, but hey I can do strong continental lager! Seems to be avoided and un-discovered by many a nottingham resident. Love the view from the roof light, nice to be able to see trees in a city centre pub. Great place for reading the papers on a sunday afternoon!

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

This place is an absolute Gem. I work at Notts Uni and get there whenever I can. Gillys food is great, I love the fact he refuses to do chips. His barbeques are amazing. The staff are amazingly friendly, and always welcoming, you can really tell they take pride in the place. The beers good too, and the beers festivals are well worth looking out for. Its a shame not so many pubs have the welcoming friendly charm of the Johno's. Before you ask I was not paid to write this!

You cannot beat the Horny Hand for a student night out and cheep beer, especially if you have a yellow card. Used to be my lucky pub for England and Newcastle games, obviously not that lucky!

The Hand and Heart, Nottingham
Not sure if her name is Val, but there is a really friedly owner there. Love the trogliditic architecture, although itcan get a bit nippy. Strangely overlooked for a Canning Circus bar.

The beer is not great. Staff are friendly enough, and so are the locals. Grove is an experience to be missed, unless you like to be tortured. Do not try to climb on the hanging baskets outside, they will fall off, trust me ......

Good beer, resonable food, friendly staff. A decent pub to visit when witing for a train.

The Fat Cat Cafe Bar, Nottingham
Plastic bar, with plastic food. Nice friendly staff though

Found this bar to be ful of pompous stuck up twits, over priced beer in prissy surroundings. Just a personal feeling, just found it stuffy and unwelcoming, yet my friends love it.

Good beer, friendly boozer. Some good quality live music. Well worth a visit.

The Bentinck Hotel, Nottingham
Whenever I go in there someone alway tries to sell me a watch or jewelry. Friendly enough, just has that feeling of a pub close to a station.

The classic Nottingham pub. Good beer and a wide range of. Always manage to smack my head on the way to the bog, will I ever learn. Was the first pub I ever went into in Nottingham, fond memories of it!

The Newcastle Arms, Nottingham
Feels like a studenty chain pub, still good atmosphere and good for watching football.

The Lincolnshire Poacher, Nottingham
Always found this bar friendly with good beer, both in terms of selection and quality. Seems to suffer a little from its own popularity and can get rammed. But thats probably a testement to its quality. Admitedly the bogs could do with a bit of sprucing up, but if you got to a pub for its toilets there is something wrong with you!

Good bar, nice beer, good friendly staff. Public bar if friendly and lively, lounge bar more relaxed. Well worth a visit on a Rudd booze crawl.

The White Horse Inn, Ruddington
Friendly pub, great beer, nice local Rudd people. Possibly my favorite bar in Rudd. The two separate bars allow you to change room depending on your mood. Worth the bus trip out of Nottingham

Better now they have moved the pool table, feels more like a real pub. Decent friendly pub.

Great friendly pub, great beer and now a wide selection of bottled beers. Not tried the Thai restaurant as too busy drinking!
