Shiny Rhino Bar in Sutton in Ashfield

You know, when I was checking out the Shiny Rhino Bar, it struck me as one of those no-frills places that could be a hidden gem if it sorted a few things out. From what folks have said, the staff are absolute darlings – really warm and chatty, which always makes a big difference when you're settling in for a drink. And the beers get a thumbs up too; nothing fancy, but reliably good for kicking back with mates. On the flip side, one person mentioned it feels a tad flat without any music or extra buzz, and it's not exactly pulling out the stops on the glamour front – think straightforward and a bit basic. With just a couple of reviews and a middling rating, it's tricky to recommend it wholeheartedly, especially since it looks like it might not even be open right now. If you're local and after a quiet, unpretentious pint, it might be worth popping by, but don't go expecting a lively night – keep your expectations in check and it could be a pleasant surprise.
