A guide to Notts Trumps

Each of our reviews contains a Notts Trumps card, detailing some of the facilities and features of our NottsNight pubs. During 2021 we will be updating these to the new style cards shown here. Each symbol relates to a different feature. It’s worth noting that the Camra discount, where mentioned, was correct when the review…

Alfresco Ales

The forecasters reckon that this August Bank Holiday weekend is set to be a scorcher. Well, at least bearable temperatures to sit outside. So we thought we’d give you five lovely NottsNight pubs where you can enjoy a pint in the garden. 1. The Sir John Borlase Warren The grand daddy of Canning Circus pubs,…

Newark Needs You!

We’re dead proud of our NottsNight network. You might have already noticed our NOTTS GOTS – where we feature pubs that are a little bit out of town, and usually don’t have anywhere else decent nearby. Now, though, we’re expanding the network even further – and our latest project includes Newark, with the intention of…

Take a “Virtual Tour” of the Robin Hood Beer Festival

Nottingham CAMRA has released more details of this years Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival. Real ale gurus Steve Westby and Andrew Ludlow have posted an online video taking you on a tour around the new venue, the Motoropoint Arena.

Fellows reopens (again)

In a touch of deja vu, Fellows, Morton and Clayton on Canal Street is to reopen again on 3rd September. It closed down earlier this year after the owners, Ever So Sensible Group, decided to pull the plug after just a few months of operation. Now, the Bermondsey Pub Company – the trading name for the pub’s…

Langtry’s gets a makeover

We were puzzled – and a bit worried – to see loads of scaffolding up around Langtrys this week. The pub has long been a NottsNight favourite, and is one of the few remaining examples of a true, traditional, non nonsense boozer in the heart of the city centre. Thankfully, it’s not bad news. It’s not entirely…

Malt Cross to reopen

We were devastated to report last month that the Malt Cross had suddenly closed. But there’s good news today – the YMCA have stepped in to save it. And the even better news is that the cafe bar is set to reopen in the Autumn. “As a charity already so invested in the rich history…

Nottingham Ghost Walk owner Simon Unsworth says : ““We…

Beer festival pledges outdoor experience – indoors

While most of us have been enjoying the alfresco experience of a lovely beer garden of late, the folk at Camra are already looking forward to mid October for the Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival. But with the Castle now closed for major renovations, a new venue has been chosen – the Motorpoint Arena….

NottsNight Trails : Now In Print

NottsNight has been a great success online – but there are times when you don’t want to dick about with your phone to find out where the best pubs are in any given area. So, NottsNight has launched a whole set of printed trails to help you. Inspired by our original NottNight Overground maps, there…

Become a NottsNight Volunteer

Since 2016, NottsNight has grown from a humble blog to a website we’re dead proud of. But with around 60 reviews now online – and plans to add more – it’s a bit of a job keeping up with it all. So, we’re now looking to add to our small team of dedicated volunteers to…
