Framesmith Arms in Bulwell

Ah, Framesmith Arms – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Nottingham, you know? From the reviews I've had a look at, it's got this fantastic atmosphere that's all about good times and friendly faces, with beer that's not only cheap but comes in a great selection to suit most tastes. The staff really stand out too; they're super approachable and make you feel like part of the gang straight away. Plus, it's spotlessly clean and they've got entertainment sorted with things like karaoke nights, big sports matches, and even live gigs, which adds a nice buzz when it's on. On the flip side, though, it does seem to be a bit on the quiet side sometimes – not always packed, which could make it feel a tad underwhelming if you're hoping for a lively crowd. A couple of reviewers mentioned it comes across as just your average pub without anything too special, and it's a shame there's no website or clear hours to help you plan ahead. All in all, if you're after a relaxed pint with mates and don't mind a more laid-back vibe, I'd say it's well worth popping in for a go – it's got that honest, community-hearted charm that makes a good night out.
