Beeston has a long and proud history of manufacturing and innovation. It’s home to the health and beauty chain Boots, and for many years was one of the most respected places for the telecoms industry. Times have changed, but with the extension of the Nottingham tram, Beeston has found its feet once again. Suburban commuters…

The Malt Shovel
1 Union Street, Beeston, Nottinghamshire, NG9 2LU In recent times The Malt Shovel has had something of a mixed reputation with a succession of different managers running the place with varying success. Now a new chapter has opened, with the pub coming under the joint management of the nearby Commercial Inn. On the bar you’ll…
The Hop Pole
Address : 2 High Road, Beeston, Nottingham NG9 4AE While much of the rest of Beeston and Chilwell has modernised and turned to the high end market, the Hop Pole does what it’s always done best – simple, honest service and good beer. A snug front bar makes way to a longer, open room at the…
Totally Tapped
Address : Chilwell High Rd, Beeston, Nottingham NG9 1EH It’s all changed for this venue – literally. In 2023, the Totally Brewed company decided to stop brewing beers, but it did want to retain a craft beer pub. So they moved – lock, stock and a few new barrels, to the opposite side of Beeston High…
Beeston Trail
With frequent tram, rail and and bus services from the city, Beeston has established itself as a great area for a pub crawl. There are other bars in addition to the ones recommended by NottsNight, but this trail takes you on a varied journey from micro pubs to some of the best watering holes anywhere in…
The Victoria

The garden – or rather covered outdoor…
The Pottle
Address : 1 Stoney Street, Beeston, NG9 2LA. The “blues” have now been officially erased from what is now simply called “The Pottle Micropub”, with a neatly stripped back version of its previous incarnation. Competing in a town already thriving with great bars is a challenge, but The Pottle has a sufficiently different offer. A…
The Star Inn
Address : 22 Middle Street, Beeston, NG9 1FX. If a beer festival lasted forever, it might look a bit like the Star. 10 hand pulls line the two ample main bars, and if they ever have fewer than eight working, you’ll get an apologetic look from the staff. The website has a whole page detailing…
The Crown
Address : 20 Church Street, Beeston, NG9 1FY Modest exteriors often belie what can be found within. But as any pub lover knows, small entrances often lead to big surprises inside. And The Crown is full of them. You may find yourself in the cosy front bar – including the tiny “confessional”, where three’s a…
