Address : Royal Standard Place, Nottingham, NG1 6FS There’s a good rule of thumb in Nottingham when it comes to history – “look up and you will see it”. And that couldn’t be truer than in the Roundhouse – whose decorative ceiling was once seen by many a new mum – because this once was…

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…
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…

New brew promises to be a scream
A brand new ale is being launched to celebrate a quarter of a century of Nottingham’s original ghost walk. “Screaming Isabella” is named after one of the legendary tales often told during the weekly guided walks which begin most Saturday nights from Ye Olde Trip To Jersusalem. 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….

Nottingham to host Caves Festival
Nottingham’s always had a great underground scene, and this coming May there’s a chance to explore even more of it.

Designed towards the end…
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…
NottsNight launches #FirstyFebruary
While many people have done exactly the right thing by partaking in Dry January, we thought that by the end of the month, folk would be bleddy well parched and ready for a beer, which is why we’re designating the second month of 2018 #FirstyFebruary. Every day, NottsNight will tweet a totally different pub for…
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…
NottsNight launches new city guide

Legendary Nottingham Pub To Reopen
Peggers, The Fox and Grapes, The Pretty Windows.

And now Castle Rock has confirmed it’s to reopen Peggers as its latest pub in…
Nottingham Beer Festival 2017
At NottsNight we love a good beer festival. And the Nottingham (Robin Hood) Beer and Cider festival is the grand-daddy of them all. This year’s event takes place from 11th-14th October. Many argue that the best beer festivals were back in the days of the old Victoria Leisure Centre. We agree, there was certainly an…
Fellows to reopen under new management
We were sad to report in April that Fellows, Morton and Clayton on Canal Street had closed down. The licensee told the Nottingham Post that high rents and brewery costs were making it impossible to make ends meet. However, there’s some good news – the pub has been taken over by the Ever So Sensible group, which…
The King Billy
Address : Eyre Street, Sneinton, Nottingham, NG2 4RG. It’s often the case that the most unassuming backstreet boozer throw up the biggest surprises, and if you can drag yourself away from the big bright lights of Hockley. you’ll be rewarded with a pub that’s right at the heart of its neighbourhood. On the bar you’ll find…
Castle Trail
On this trail you’ll never be too far away from Nottingham Castle itself and the Robin Hood statue. Down the years, this district has been a bit hit and miss for watering holes, but some relatively recent additions and rebrands make this compact area well worth a few hours. Choose a sunny afternoon or a…
