About This Pub

Ah, Greyhound Arnold, it's one of those classic local pubs in Nottingham that you might stumble upon and think, 'This could be a regular haunt.' From what I've gathered, the staff are absolute gems – always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels at home, which really adds to that warm, down-to-earth atmosphere. The drinks are a bargain too, with some cracking offers that make it easy to enjoy a pint or two without worrying about the tab. Plus, if you're into your sports, they've got the big games on, like footy or horse racing, which can turn a quiet evening into a bit of a buzz. On the flip side, though, there are a couple of things that might not sit right with you. Some rules feel a bit rigid, like not playing games if others are at the tables, which could frustrate you if that's what you had in mind. And I've heard a few tales about the outdoor area, where policies on kids have led to some awkward situations, so it might not be the best for family outings. Overall, it's a place with heart, but like any pub, it's got its quirks – worth a visit if you're in the area, just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a good time.

We was sat in the beer garden having a drink was told we needed to leave due to not allowing kids but there is no where on the premises to say that. We was informed by the barmaid then was given plastic glasses to put our drink in and said we can sit on the wall or walk around on the streets. Even then felt like we was being watched to see if we had gone. We just wanted to finish our drinks that we had paid for and then we would go but we feel like it was rushed. I understand your not allowed kids how would anyone know if there's no signs anywhere. Otherwise we was enjoying our drink in the sun whilst our 2 year old was being good playing.
