Great Real Ale Pubs in and around Nottingham
Here is a list of all the pubs I’ve reviewed for my curryandbeer guide. The list is eclectic – every pub is great in one way or another but there’s no uniformity. I guess the one thing that they do have in common is that they all offer quality, delicious, well kept beer – whether it be cask or keg. I try to be as objective as possible but what suits one won’t suit another. In this list you’ll find “cloth cap” pubs and uber cool city pubs and bars. Some are family friendly and others don’t allow children.
Most of these pubs are easily accessible using public transport.
