The 30 Best Pub in Nottingham

“Came here for bottomless brunch and had such a great experience! The brown stew chicken was absolutely delicious, and we loved it so much we had to order extra servings of festival—they were divine. The flavors were authentic and reminded us of home. Big shout out to our wonderful server Jenna, who kept the cocktails flowing and made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait for our next visit!”

“Ziggy was amazing! Served us well on our bottomless brunch and never forgot about us! Music was a bit loud for 8pm at night though felt like I was shouting the whole time.”

“The food was great, i have ordered the fillet combo and it was delicious, this steak was one of the best that i have ever tasted. Also the workers here are very friendly.”

“Fantastic Mirco pub. Great service and atmosphere. Great price for two top beers. Definitely be going again with the scooter club”

“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!”

“Lovely little micropub with a few kegs on tap and cask too! Well kept beer as far as I can tell. Nice local atmosphere and decor, I like that they have lots of traditional ales along with the usual craft stuff. It's all table service and the staff are friendly, for what it is the beer is also very well priced. Menu is now via a qr code. Pleased to call it my local.”

“The flag offers a changing selection of around 10 real ales, shouts and porters. Being a micro pub its not the biggest of places but the clientelle are always friendly and talkative as are the staff and landlord. If you havn't visited yet, I'd urge you to, you'll enjoy a nice pint in a friendly pub.”

“Unlike some cinemas that over charge for larger more comfortable seats. Every screen at showcase has the same eectronic recliners. Ticket price is decent and with the addition of the Insider card your constantly earing money off. Food selection is good and pick'n'mix is a personal favourite. In all its a brilliant cinema.”

“great customer service, perfect atmosphere pop world is an amazing place defo recommend to others”

“History, Hues, and Hospitality: Sunday Lunch at Pitcher and Piano Nottingham ​Our Sunday lunch reservation at The Pitcher and Piano in Nottingham was an absolutely memorable experience, thanks primarily to its stunning and unique setting. Housed within the magnificent High Pavement Unitarian Chapel, this Grade II listed building—originally constructed in 1876—is far more than just a restaurant; it’s a living piece of Nottingham history. ​The architecture alone is worth the visit. It's truly breathtaking to dine beneath the soaring ceilings and surrounded by the retained grandeur of the former chapel. The conversion, which happened in 1998, brilliantly preserved key elements, giving the space an atmosphere that is simultaneously historic and modern. It makes for one of the most visually interesting and vibrant dining environments you could find in the city, perfectly blending its past as a place of worship and a lace museum with its present as a popular social hub. ​For a fun, tangible souvenir, we took advantage of the on-site photo booth. It’s a great way to remember your visit, costing £5 for four physical prints and including a digital download of your photos, making the unique backdrop part of your memory. ​Making the online reservation was smooth and efficient, and upon arrival, we were treated to excellent hospitality. Our experience was made particularly wonderful by Jess, who waited on us. Jess was attentive, professional, and added a warm, friendly touch to our meal, ensuring everything was perfectly taken care of. Great service combined with great surroundings elevates a simple lunch into an occasion. ​Overall, The Pitcher and Piano offers a truly unique destination for food and drinks. If you’re looking for delicious dining in a jaw-dropping location, this venue delivers on both history and quality service. Highly recommended!”

“Had a very warm and welcoming evening. We were served by Evie who was attentive and so friendly. The food and service was incredible considering we visited on a Saturday! Great team - thank you!”

“Lovely clean room. comfy bed, fantastic brunch. Jess was fabulous, and very friendly :)”

“Lovely friendly greeting on arrival. Room very tastefully done. Good size comfy bed. I prefer the thiner quilt which was on as normally too hot in bed. Slept very well. I think they have banished the sensor light as we never encountered it. Slept like a log. Fridge in room with water, large orange juice and fresh milk . We had drinks in the very cosy bar that evening. Will be fabulous at Christmas time in sure. Bar staff amazing, very chatty and helpful and great choice drinks. We ate in the bar as restaurant was empty. It was a Tuesday night so not usually a busy time. We both thoroughly enjoyed our plates and i complemented the chef as been a while since ive had such good food anywhere. We scoffed the lot. Breakfast is continental and you do collect it the night before but we preferred this as could chill in bed all morning and eat at our leisure. We had 6 different types of danish pastries, croissants and choice of jam . Cereals, yogurt and bananas. Missed toast but i can live with that. Tea n coffee in room. Bed n breakfast for 1 night was a bargain at under £100 and thoroughly worth it. Will be coming again soon . Caroline and Matt Xx”

“Went to Brewdog on Saturday 18/10/25 for their 2hr ‘Beer School’ event. There were 8 of us ‘in class’ which is run at a large table in the main bar area. It was an absolutely fantastic experience. Our ‘teacher’ was Cameron who really knew his stuff about Brewdog and the 5 types of Brewdog beers we sampled from light to dark. The pairings with the specially selected cheese and crackers were absolutely genius! Cameron was happy to take any questions as we talked through each sample and we had a lot of laughs at the same time. I definitely know now a whole lot more about beer than when I arrived!! Thank you Cameron I will definitely be attending again!!”

“Went into the cozy cafe above the little acorn. Made so welcome. Food amazing and sumptuous portion, service above and beyond amd prices that won't be beaten. Beats all other cafes in the area”

“Creative Cocktails and Grand Atmosphere at The Alchemist ​Rating: 5/5 Stars ​We popped into The Alchemist King Street for a pre-dinner cocktail and were thoroughly impressed. The setting alone is worth the visit: it occupies a grand, stunning Grade II listed building that truly reigns over King Street, making for an instantly luxurious experience. ​The atmosphere is sophisticated, and the decor is highly unique—the space is cleverly decorated with labeled and thematic elements, reinforcing the bar's name and concept. ​The real highlight, however, is the drink menu. The mixology here is truly creative. We ordered the Espresso Martini, and it was one of the best we've ever had. It was delicious, strong, and beautifully presented, creatively adorned with a dark chocolate edible spoon and a dash of caramel caviar. This attention to detail elevates the experience beyond a standard cocktail bar. ​If you are looking for an inventive drink in a stunning location near Nottingham station and the City of Caves, The Alchemist is an absolute must-visit.”

“We had a wonderful dinner @Ego at the Old Ashfield. And tended to by very friendly and attentive staff, in particular by Jessie. Happy to recommend it for great choice, lovely presentation and super friendly staff.”

“Went in here before we went next door to see James Blunt ..... my partner nipped in to ask if he could leave my wheelchair just inside somewhere if i walked in (I'm able to walk a short walk on the arm of someone) anyway the bar staff came out & produced a ramp!! So we went in & got a drink & had a look at the food menu & ordered some food. It was very reasonable & tasty!! & the landlady played James Blunt songs for me too!! All in all a very enjoyable afternoon & fabulous staff!!”

“AMAZING ART GALLERY !!! Completely free to enter and so well done. The gift shop was also amazing. I cannot recommend this enough.”

“We had a fantastic experience enjoying afternoon tea at Lace Market. Everything was freshly made in-house, which really stood out compared to many places that use store-bought items. The scones were a real highlight—freshly baked and served warm, just as they should be. The service was excellent too, friendly and attentive throughout. A special mention goes to Chef Cristina, who took the time to speak with us and made the experience feel even more personal. Our only feedback would be that in the future it would be wonderful if a savory afternoon tea option was also available. Overall, though, it was an exceptional experience and one we’d be very happy to recommend.”

“What can I say, I love a good steak and you can definitely find one here! Perfectly cooked, full of flavour fillet steak. If you’re a carnivore like me then I’m sure you will enjoy every bite. I loved the fact they bring you a tray of different knives to pick from, nice touch. Really great service as well, super pleasant and welcoming. Will be back again. Highly recommend!”

“We sat down for our girls bottomless brunch and was so lucky to have Jack as our host. Immediately greeted us with prosecco and recommendations of what to have for food. Made our girls night even better and have booked another one because of him, thank you Jack (you icon).”

“Massive thank you to Rhys, Bruno & Ben for looking after us at our cocktail masterclass! Bruno was so good! He was fun and looked after us well we had such a laugh, will definitely do it again sometime!!”

“Service was great and food was immaculate. The space is really beautiful and I definitely want to come again. Staff were nice, especially the worker serving us. I wanted to grab her name afterwards due to her lovely personality and serving skills. Isabelle was really a joy. Thanks for a great meal revolucion de Cuba.”

“Came here for my birthday and it was brilliant.. one person on our table has a severe allergy to nuts, and the staff were amazing. They called her before hand to ensure she had a meal that was “safe”. We also had a gluten free and vegetarian in our party and the staff where happy to stand and to though the menu with us. Thought out the night they kept coming to check on us, answering questioned we had regarding food and drink. - Food was lovely and the music was right up our street. Lillian is an asset to bistro live. Although she was working she just matched the vibe of our table, even coming over at the end of her shift to say good bye and told me to enjoy my night…”

“The whole experience was great staff came to take orders very quickly asking if food was ok any more drinks food was amazing highly recommended going”

“Absolutely outstanding carvery, every meat for a Sunday roast available including lamb, A choice of medium beef or well done beef, Pork and great crackling, gammon, turkey! All veg fresh, banging roasties and creamy mash! Not forgetting the crispy stuffing balls and immense Yorkshire puddings....infact, the best yorkies I've ever had!! Will definitely be returning!”

“We came here late evening as part of my birthday We were greeted very quickly and given a nice table Drinks were offered straight away but we were given plenty of time to browse the menu and order food (even though I knew straight away what I was having!) The food was not long to wait for and came out sizzling and had been cooked so tender, delicious food and tasty cocktails and reasonable prices Overall fantastic visit and can’t wait to come again”

“Amazing food, staff were so lovely! Well catered for allergy's will be returning”

“We stopped for a weekday lunch and have to say we had a great experience. The venue is cosy and welcoming and nicely decorated. The food was excellent and well presented, and service was top-notch Dogs are welcome inside, which is an added bonus. A good selection of beers and ales, including independent brewers.”
