About This Pub
Ah, the Old Dog & Partridge – it's one of those pubs that really pulls you in with its warm, welcoming feel, especially if you're after a solid pint or to catch the latest match on the telly. I love how the staff go the extra mile; they're quick on their feet and make you feel like a regular from the get-go, which is just what you want on a night out. The historic building adds a nice touch of character, and with perks like being dog-friendly and having a beer garden, it's spot on for a casual meet-up with mates. But, let's be honest, it's not all rosy – there've been a few grumbles about things like dirty glasses, which can put a dampener on things, and ditching the jukebox for radio means the music's not quite as fun as it used to be. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a pint in Nottingham; just keep an eye out for those little slip-ups, and you'll likely have a grand time.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The staff are absolutely brilliant – quick to help and full of smiles, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
-
They've got a cracking selection of craft ales and spirits, perfect for settling in with a pint after a day out.
-
It's a proper historic spot, Grade II listed and full of character, with a cosy atmosphere that's just spot on for catching live sports like football or rugby.
-
Dog-friendly and family-friendly vibes, plus handy facilities like a beer garden and WiFi, make it a versatile choice for a relaxed get-together.
-
Smashing location in Nottingham, right near the Victoria Centre and with good transport links, so it's easy to pop in for a quick one.
Cons
-
There was a mention of dirty glasses in one review, which is a bit off-putting and could spoil the experience if it happens to you.
-
They've taken out the jukebox, so you're stuck with radio tunes and adverts, which isn't as lively as it could be.
-
A couple of reviews hinted at minor inconsistencies, like warm glasses from the dishwasher, suggesting things aren't always spot on behind the bar.

Went in for a quick drink before going to concert. Very quick service, three members of staff asked if I needed anything. Very good.
Dawn is simply brilliant. If you come here ask for her. Kind, friendly and everything you want as a customer. Greene king, promote her!!!!
Sorry to give you 2 stars but came in on 17th March for a drink for my birthday, I had a double Irish whiskey price £7.50 and the glass in which in was served was very dirty and still warm coming out of a dishwasher, it didn't look like it had been washed for ages, please try and keep your glasses clean.
Love this pub…. But they’ve taken the jukebox out! Now listening to a radio station with adverts! Bring back the jukebox..! But staff as fab as ever especially Dawn and Vicki..
Top pints, top clientele, top music, even at 5 pm on a Monday. Great bus connections too. Not really a negative but I needed some stuff from Wilko's next door, shame it's closed...
Would recommend to family and friends!!
