Address : 7 Stoney Street, Nottingham, NG1 1LG.
The word “legendary” is often wrongly bandied about, but it genuinely applies to The Angel Microbrewey. Back in the day, customers would be knee deep in spilt cider and sticky carpets, perhaps shooting some pool in the dark and smelly backroom.
However, it’s a good thing that nostalgia is a thing of the past, because today the pub is brighter and cleaner; though no less crowded and still heady mix of good beer and lively company. On the bar are up to five handpulled ales – though read the blackboards carefully as some can be on the strong side. Cloudy ciders and craft beers are also on offer.
The old pool room has now been transformed into an organic kitchen, while upstairs The Chapel bar hosts gigs several times a week – think indie, rock and alternative gigs.
Events : Regular DJ nights happen downstairs, where you can often hear the noise from the live performances upstairs.
Food? A full menu of comforting pub grub is on offer, including including a wide range of veggie and vegan options.
Customers? Still a whiff of “alt” from the past, the Angel has now turned “hipster lite”, so you’ll be let in with or without a beard.
Opinion? Part of me misses the look on my friend’s faces when I introduced them to the “Owd Angel.” But not a big part. The refurbishment has paid off, as demonstrated by the weekend crowds.
Getting here : NCT City Loop Turquoise and Green lines to George Street (5 minute walk). NET Trams to Lace Market (10 minute walk)
