Canalhouse Pub in Nottingham

48-52 Canal St, Nottingham NG1 7EH

About This Pub

Ah, the Canalhouse – it's one of those places that sticks in your mind long after you've left. I mean, where else can you sip a pint while gazing at a narrow boat bobbing along inside the pub? It's got this brilliant mix of history and fun, being in a Grade II listed building, and it's picked up some top awards for its beers, which are always spot on with a great variety to choose from. The food's another winner; think solid pub grub and specials that leave you satisfied without breaking the bank. And the team behind the bar are just lovely, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly. On the downside, though, the canal can look a bit messy at times, which is a pity in such a unique spot, and it does fill up quickly, so you might end up waiting around if you pop in unannounced. Still, for anyone looking for a proper Nottingham experience, it's well worth a visit – the good bits far outweigh the little niggles, and you'll likely leave with a smile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The canal running right through the pub is an absolute delight – it's such a quirky and memorable feature that makes every visit feel special.
They've got a brilliant selection of beers, from cask ales to craft kegs, which is perfect if you're a real ale fan.
The food menu is spot on, with hearty pub classics, Sunday roasts, and changing specials that always deliver good value and taste.
The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
There's a lovely beer garden for soaking up the sun, and it's in a great spot for hopping between nearby pubs.

Cons

The canal water can sometimes look a bit untidy, which takes away from the charm just a tad.
It gets pretty busy at times, so you might have to queue for a drink or struggle to find a seat, especially on weekends.

I think I've been here many years ago. Definitely different with the canal boat in the pub, good selection of beers and busy even on a Tuesday definitely worth visiting for quirk ness

Brilliant place, as you walk in you can go over a little bridge where a canal boats is. Lots of seating good friendly staff. Wait time at bar was 6mins. Seating area is nice and comfy with good views 👌

Richard Biddles

One of the unique pubs I’ve been to and it has a lot of space. With the canal in built to the venue, it adds up a pleasant vibe. Also, a great selection of beers and the staff is friendly. Ideal to bar hop as there are a few other pubs close by.

A unique pub in a great location. There aren't many pubs that can say they have part of a canal and a canal boat inside. Quite unique feature, even though it was a bit untidy in the water. The food was excellent. A good choice of meals and light lunches and really good quality with generous portions. A nice outside area with lots of seating and good canal views.
