The Hockley Rebel

Crafty Teller, Sherwood

This pub has seen several facelifts in recent years but this is surely the best. The decor, atmosphere, ambience, quality and service is all great. Sherwood really is enjoying a boom in quality places to eat and drink at the moment. Think trendy city centre bar with real ale. I had the Black Iris Snake Eyes and it was on top form.

The Free Man

Carlton's Wetherspoon pub. Typical busy Wethers pub with cracking ale at a good price.

This pub replaced the Toby Jug that was pulled down next door.

The Brickyard

Formerly a social club and before that a butcher's shop in Carlton. Now a Lincoln Green pub in the usual Lincoln Green style. Classic decor corner pub with some great local ales. I had the Daybrook Bitter which was fantastic. Small, intimate venue. Dog-friendly.

Barrel Drop

A lovely micro pub in the city centre, secluded away in Hurt's Yard. Lovely quality real ale. Cosy setting. Nice welcome.

Larwood & Voce

Located at the Trent Bridge cricket ground this is a tasteful chain pub. Focusing on food and obviously sport the real ale was in good order.

Wasn't able to go in as I had my son with me who's under 18 so this is one for the future. In the meantime here's the Post's review below...

It's also worth pointing out that the station has suffered a bad fire this week so I'm looking forward to seeing it restored to its former glory very soon.

Update 22nd Nov 2018:

Finally made it! Quality ale, chilled atmosphere. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Can't fault it. Lovely way to spend half an hour before travelling.

Barley Twist

The Barley Twist is Castle Rock's latest pub in the City Centre and it replaces a former sweet shop, hence the name. It's part of the new development of shops, bars and cafes between Nottingham station and the Broad Marsh Centre on Carrington Street. It has a brasserie feel but doesn't do food. A small bar at the back with one cask ale, Preservation, which was good, and craft beer in fridges full of cans and bottles much like Junkyard etc. It's definitely a modern twist on the traditional Castle Rock range of pubs and the downstairs seating area is cool and atmospheric.
