The 30 Best Pub in Nottingham

“Great refurb and function space. Well looked after by Helen, amazing hostess. Thank you.”

“Great pub. Excellent choice of Ales. The cobs are especially good. Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is also friendly. Nice little back garden. Excellent as a pit stop when using the train station.”

“Love this pub. Good selection of real ale. No TV or music so you can have an actual conversation without shouting. Very dog friendly.”

“Excellent trad pub. Lovely staff and fun clientele.”

“A fantastic little pub with a great atmospher and a great selection of beer. We stopped while on a walk and having walked past the two other pubs in the village we couldn't resist the woodlark. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon and the out door seating area was packed, booking a table to eat would be esential. We didn't eat but the menu looked good and we'll be back next week to give it a go.”

“Always a great experience here, Dan makes you feel at home and serves a nice variety of beers including some good alcohol free options”

“Huge selection of sour beers to drink in or take out. Lots of Vault City!”

“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.”

“Went here the other night. It was empty so I was a bit skeptical. However made to feel right at home. It was interesting we HAD to order food and drinks separately but that didn't matter. The food was passable but prices were cheap so I can deal with that. The staff were really friendly. The young woman hosting was smiley and friendly so this review is more for the customer services and vibe of the venue. Anywhere that plays Pearl Jam is a ok in my book.”

“Not to be missed.... Beeston is blessed with good pubs, this one has to be on the stroll.....”

“Certainly better than the mill and brook! The usual barman when I visit is friendly and they have a great choice.”

“This place is class. I'm not a fan of chain pubs and this place far from that. Its like sitting in old shop. There's no place like it. Always got a great selection of beers to choose from on cask and keg. The staff are always super friendly. You can take your dog in too. One of most original and best pubs in Long Eaton.”

“My new favourite bar. Good selection of beers and great atmosphere”

“Very vibrant and friendly place. Nice beer and good music.”

“Really nice pub with a great choice of drinks and a friendly atmosphere”

“One of the best if not the best place at Nottingham Trent University. Great people, great events, great atmosphere and the assistants there are absolutely fantastic. If you are at Nottingham Trent, you need to check out the global lounge and get involved!”

“Great food at a great price! Have visited a few times but most recently went for the Steak Night menu which includes a drink in the price. Plenty of choice available for the cuts of steak, and also vegetarian, pork, and chicken options so there's something for everyone. Food and service is consistently top notch. The side dishes and desserts are also great value Would highly recommend visiting Porterhouse over any chain restaurants!”

“Definitely loved having a family birthday meal today! Nicola was amazing, and our food was incredible worth the money, and absolutely scrumptious! Compliments to the grill chefs Kev & Lee! Absolutely made our evening!!”

“Great breakfast with really quick and friendly service. Well priced and it was apparent the ingredients were kocaly sourced and or home made, proper sausages, home made hash browns and beautiful thick cut bacon.”

“I had a fantastic experience at Riley’s, and a huge part of that was thanks to Alex behind the bar. From the moment we sat down, Alex was welcoming, attentive, and clearly knows his craft. The cocktails were perfectly balanced — creative, flavorful, and made with care. He even gave great recommendations based on what we usually like, and every choice was spot on. The food was just as impressive — fresh, flavorful, and served hot. You can tell the kitchen and bar work together well here. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink or staying for a full meal, Riley’s (and especially Alex) makes it worth your time. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Found this place whilst wandering around Hockley looking for somewhere to eat, and boy are we glad we did! Cool place with lovely staff and awesome pizza. Love the amount of vegan options too!”

“At least 5 stars. Had a wonderful lunch here. Excellent food and desserts. Service exceptional. Decor wonderful and in a cute village. Quintessential!”

“Delicious kebabs (both meat and vegetarian) with a good quantity of hot roasted vegetables, fresh salad and tasty pita. The lady serving us was very friendly, and it was an excellent meal for the price.”

“I went in a few days ago with my 2 young children. The landlord was very nice and accommodating of us. Also thank you for the Halloween disco this evening. A great community pub!”

“I have been coming here for years, everything about this restaurant I love. The staff, the atmosphere and food. Was back there Friday as it was my husbands 50th an it was amazing. You dont need to go anywhere else or he entertainment an vibes under 1 roof.”

“One of the best set menu fine dining experiences in Nottingham. It was clear on every course the detail put into the flavours and presentation. The taste was also incredible on every course and very much worth the cost. I also went away feeling decent level of full and the course pacing allowed a good amount of time to make it's a great experience. Staff were also great and attentive to dietary needs. Overall a super experience worth trying.”

“Top notch cakes, pastries, coffee, and food. The menu isn't huge but is varied, caters to dietary requirements, and the quality of the food is fantastic for the price. Used to be a regular haunt, for brunch, very glad it's back open!”

“Highly recommended. Great service, great food and nice decor. We had the afternoon meal offer 2 course. Both had Rump steak, was offered chips but swapped for vegetables, well accommodating. All very lovely. Under £50 including two drinks. Was way too full for any desert. Going through a renovation adding solar panels, with zero disturbance. (Nearly Done) Loads of parking, close to M1 and A52.”

“Since there's been a new manager the place has improved a great deal. Never once have I had a bad meal from here. The new staff and old one's are all very professional polite and always helpful. Even the food I've had on a takeaway basis has always been nice. Definitely one of my favourites in the area. They did a set meal with a band playing and was definitely my best night so far.”

“Food was amazing. Great value for money lots to choice from portion size great. Best takeaway in a long time”
