I only popped in for a quick half but I wished I could have stayed longer. I'm definitely going back again. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and a fab beer selection. Next time I'm trying the curry.

We regularly come here when in town, always a great beer selection in a chilled out atmosphere

I think of all the places I've been going in Nottingham for about 15+ years, this place has probably changed the least.
Always something interesting on tap, bottle selection is decent, and the relatively recent addition of the curry kitchen means I'm here more frequently than ever. Great value, tastes spot on and has vegan options. Sometimes it's hard to find a table in the late afternoon/early evening but in a city full of empty units its nice to see somewhere with some atmosphere.

Great pub, loads of craft beer and some real ales. Didn't have food but it looked fab, will definitely have it next time. Staff friendly

Didn't try the food, but will be back to try that with a group of friends.
Excellent range of beers and drinks. Often some rarer or unusual ones.
Nice atmosphere and nicely busy. Recommended.

A great pub tucked away a few minutes walk from the city centre. Excellent beers and great range to try at good prices. Beers from all around the world on offer. Small and cozy but well worth the time to walk and enjoy the beers on offer. Good place to meet up with people. Has toilets. Very friendly staff. Part of the local castle rock brewery chain in Nottingham and has a loyalty app.

Very good pub about 10 minutes walk from Nottingham Railway Station. Six cask ales - and three ciders - on handpump when I visited including a milk stout. The pub is located in Nottingham's historic Lace Market opposite the Grade I-listed St Mary's Church.
The pub itself, which is Grade II-listed was built in 1907 as offices and a warehouse. It is named after the Shakespearean actor Edmund Kean who in 1861 appeared as Hamlet in a nearby theatre.
Busy but not impossibly so before the Spurs game at the City Ground.

Family favourite for a pub lunch. Great staff. Great food. Great beer. Sorted! Burgers and all the loaded fries are very good.

An absolute must-visit for beer drinkers visiting Nottingham. Quaint interior, with plenty of room to get busy but not too big so as to get overbearing! Toilets are a bit last century but the beer selection, food, vibes, and outdoor areas here are great!

Absolutely superb, one of the best pubs in Nottingham.
It's somewhat hidden near St Mary's in the Lace Market area so you probably won't find it by just casually walking around; however, it's absolutely worth finding.
It's a Castle Rock pub with an excellent selection of 6 cask and 18 craft beer on keg alongside some more mainstream offerings, they have some really good and quite unusual beers on, there's also spirits, soft drinks etc.
Their bottle and can selection is worth a special mention, it's absolutely outstanding with some seriously top tier beers available.
Food is by Paaji and is India street food alongside full dishes, it's also outstanding...some of the best I've ever eaten.
Highly recommended.
