Alcoholic beverages in Nottingham

“At last! A decent curry in Nottinghamshire. I’m from Birmingham so have spent my life enjoying delicious curries. I’ve tried countless curries in Nottingham and not found one that came close to one from the west midlands. We’ve tried 3 curries so far and all have been really fantastic. The naans are also great, along with the rice and other sides. Can’t fault!”

“Dropped in last minute as needed to have an urgent teams meeting. I think it's important for Greene King to recognise what a quality Barmaid they have in Emma, she couldn't do enough to accommodate me. Really impressed. Had a couple of drinks and ended up having a bite to eat, absolutely no complaints with the food. Was an unplanned stop but defo encouraged a return. Nice one Emma, you made the visit!”

“Brilliant pub, wonderful staff and patrons. A good selection of well kept beer.”

“I had a lovely afternoon at the Dandelion having afternoon tea. The food was amazing! They cater for vegetarians and vegans too which is amazing! The staff are so lovely and welcoming!! Would definitely recommend!”

“Very friendly place, both staf and patrons! The bar is small, but there are plenty of tables in the beer garden at the rear, weather permitting! There was BBQ in the aid of the Air Ambulance, so we had a burger and chips, very nice! Some very nice beers on offer, defo worth a visit!”

“I had this on my radar to visit for quite a while and I wasn't disappointed. Popped in for a quick one and was greeted by a lovely lady who was pleasant and helpful with the craft ales they currently had. Very nice atmosphere it was nicely busy with range of different aged people all just out for a quiet drink.”

“Outstanding meal here, the quality was really good. We had the Korean BBQ in the table and it was a great experience, the food was really tasty and just the right portions for us, would highly recommend if you like Korean BBQ. I can see what some people say about the service but I think it is just a laid back place and that's fine, if we needed anything we asked and the staff there were happy to help.”

“This had great atmosphere. Service was also good. One person on the busy bar but his service to who was next was outstanding. Good food served in a timely manner. Great place.”

“Small yet perfectly formed micropub with a great selection of real ales from near and far, not to mention a selection of other drinks. Friendly professional staff will help you choose an ale if you're not sure. Regular customers also friendly. Large rear garden, partly covered.”

“A great venue to hold parties and events, well stocked bar and friendly staff. Well priced too”

“We had a excellent Christmas dinner here in the evening. Lovely food.complete with crackers and soft glow table lamps.”

“I have just spent and afternoon here raising money for the local play group and the place was good, plenty of support. I was embarrassed to win some money and returned 30 of the 50. Which was the aim of the game. Returned back to campsite a happy bunny. Excellent staff good food sunny day a great place all round.”

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Visited for our first time last week and we will now be returning regularly, best spot for a roast in Nottingham by far. Special mention to our waitress Ruth who went above and beyond in making sure our visit was perfect! Thankyou again Ruth.”

“So good. Been here many times. Lovely place, friendly service, and excellent food. The absolute best thing they offer is the greek dessert. I dont know how to pronouce or spell it and even forgot to take a photo today... it is like a Greek custard pie. Something new today was the shared platter for 2, yummmm.”

“What a great place. We are on our way back from Scotland and discovered this gem. The hospitality and service are hard to beat. Despite the late hour, everything we had hoped for was made possible. Individual menus were put together in consultation with Jess and the team. They even asked how the dog would like his steak. We were able to park our campervans at the back of the pub. It's a really great place with a good location right next to a green space. The food was delicious and less greasy than in comparable pubs. Thank you, Jess, for everything. We hope to see you again soon. And a big thank you to the wonderful new bartender (unfortunately, I don't know her name).”

“3rd best pub in Nottingham love this place, Notts county fans only Update: 2nd best White Harts gone down hill”

“Proper pub with decent beer, friendly staff and a cute little beer garden. Live music on Saturday nights always has a great atmosphere.”

“Know locally as the Bin. Im not quite sure why, but it is very popular with locals music and a great atmosphere”

“I love this pub. You always get a warm welcome. Beer is very reasonably priced. Dog friendly, so great for us.”

“The Red Lion is a great pub wide selection of beers and spirits & Wines great atmosphere highly Recommend”

“Me and my boyfriend went here and they were so polite and respectful the food was awesome and was worth the price !”

“Great pub! Because the drinks are reasonable as is the food. Even better if you like to watch Nottingham Forest footy matches on the massive screen! Or other teams matches. I’m not a footy fan, but lots of people are so it’s a great location. There are other areas too, away from the match. Staff do a good job but like a lot of places these days there’s not much human engagement at all - especially if you order online. Very quick online service on a Sunday afternoon.”

“Excellent customer service freehold pub good food and atmosphere”

“Lunched today there with the girls and had a lovely time. Staff great. New menu. 2nd review. Been asking for months for vegan breakfast and was so excited to try my first one today. Toast came without butter (will take my own next time) but otherwise was FAB. Again, super service, hot fresh food, lovely atmosphere. Thank you. And now they have Ve mushroom and ale pie. It was SO good. New review. Still perfect. Sept '25, £6 deal had the vegan burger on it, so we took advantage of that today. Very nice, service great, will be back again soon.”

“We just played pool here and the friendliness was awesome,win or lose have a booze.”

“Great place to get great deals on pizza which are done well. Kebabs are juicy & nice, but not greasy at all. Cheap prices also. Pop in. & give em a try.”
