The Ropewalk

Smart, modern "Scream" pub with awesome ale. And decent food. A chain pub but at the better end of the spectrum.

UPDATE MARCH 2019 : CLOSED

Mechanics Arms

So pleased to find this place has finally reopened. I was convinced that this place would be sold as flats. Welcoming, good fun staff and regulars. And decent real ale. I had Bishop's Farewell. And the food appears to be awesome too. A great, old fashioned, unspoilt traditional city pub. Will be back very soon!

UPDATE MARCH 2019 : CLOSED

UPDATE DECEMBER 2020 : FLATTENED

Newshouse

It was time to revisit a quality old pub. Now a Castle Rock pub it was revamped in 2002. And I'm pleased to say it still offers a classic, traditional pub welcome complete with nostalgic decoration from the past celebrating beer and pubs and especially Nottingham and the history of this pub. Such things as Nottingham Evening Post historic headlines. The ale was excellent and the landlord was friendly and welcoming giving me a detailed background to the pub and other pubs of the same name across the city. Will be back.
