We’re very lucky to have so many great venues in and around Nottingham – and plenty of them fit neatly into a geographical area to create the perfect pub crawl. But navigating the outlying areas can be more challenging. While there are, indeed, lots of pubs in many of the places listed here, we’ve chosen…

The Bird Hide
Address : 139 Attenborough Lane, Nottingham, NG9 6AA Travelling by bus or car it would be easy to miss this pub just off the Chilwell bypass. But that would be a mistake. Because by slowing down – or indeed walking to this venue – will reward you with one of the best selections of real…
The Dog and Parrot
Address : 13 Nottingham Road, Eastwood, NG16 3AP A traditional, independently owned real ale house in what has become the heart of Micropub country in Eastwood and the surrounding area, the Dog and Parrot is run by David and Kathryn Boam. You’ll find up to seven real ales on tap, many of them sourced locally….
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…
About Notts Gots
Since we launched in 2016, NottsNight has evolved into a great website bringing you the very best places to find good beer and a great service. Many pubs fit neatly into one geographical area – but there are some that are so good, they outshine just about everything else around them. That’s why we created…
The Brickyard – Carlton
Address : 1a Standhill Road, Carlton, Nottingham, NG4 1JL Should you find yourself needing a book on vintage transport, or a Nepalese meal served at the lowest possible level compared to Everest, this part of Carlton Hill is just what you need. Oh, and it also have a rather nice pub. The Brickyard was opened as…
Poppy and Pint – Lady Bay
Pierrepont Rd, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 5DX. The Poppy & Pint, Nottingham CAMRA’s Pub of the Year in 2017, and runner up in 2018 continues to draw the crowds despite strong competition in nearby West Bridgford. The former Royal British Legion has more of a local feel to some others. Beers are predominately Castle Rock…
The Station Hotel, Hucknall
Address : Station Terrace, Hucknall, Nottingham, NG15 7TQ. A beacon of excellence in a sea of Greene King mediocrity, The Station Hotel, as its name suggests, is exactly what you’d expect from a Victorian station pub. Comprehensively transformed by Hucknall’s Lincoln Green brewery in 2017 and operating as their Tap House, railway memorabilia permeates throughout the…
The Lion, Basford
Address : 44 Mosley St, New Basford, Nottingham NG7 7FQ Some pubs claim they’re all about their local neighbourhood – but many are all mouth and no trousers. The Lion at Basford, though, has jeans, casual slacks, flares, pantaloons and cords bursting out of its wardrobe. That’s a lot of trousers, and rightly so. Wrapped…
Doctor’s Orders, Carrington
Address : 351 Mansfield Road, Nottingham, NG5 2DA. It was Nottingham’s first ever micropub. Set in a former pharmacy, “prescriptions” were dispensed from a hatch in the cosy living-room sized bar. But that was then, and today the Doctor’s Orders – under the management of the Magpie Brewery – has expanded in size, making excellent use of the…
The Bread and Bitter, Mapperley
Address : 153-155 Woodthorpe Drive, Mapperley Top, Nottingham. NG3 5JL You might think that a district that has three pubs and two bistro bars would mean a clamour for your custom. But when it comes to Mapperley Top, the rest have a fair bit of work to do to match the quality of the Bread…
The Boat Inn, Lenton
Address : Priory Street, Lenton, NG7 2NX A few years ago, The Boat was designated an asset of Community Value, protecting it from demolition or development. Not that there’s much chance of that happening anyway, since this is a true neighbourhood pub with a loyal local following. On the bar you’ll find up to six…
The Johnson Arms, Lenton
Address : 59 Abbey Street, Old Lenton, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ. The Johnno has had some ups and downs in recent years, but has now bounced back as a place that’s well worth the journey if you’re not local. The large beer garden has had an impressive makeover, large enough to accommodate three different covered areas…
The Cadland, Chilwell
Address : 342 High Road, Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, NG9 5EG. The front of the Cadland has the appearance of a Grimm Brothers fairytale – and you might baulk at the prospect of a chain pub (run, in this case, by Ember Inns). But bear with, because inside reveals a sprawling bar and a good choice of real ales. At…
