Six Barrel Drafthouse in Nottingham

You know, when I think about Six Barrel Drafthouse, it just brings a smile – it's one of those places that feels like a proper local gem in the heart of Nottingham. They've nailed the drinks side of things with an impressive lineup of craft beers and ales that really hit the spot, whether you're after something light and sessionable or a bit more flavoursome. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and making everyone feel welcome, which makes the atmosphere so inviting; it's not stuffy at all, just a nice, easy-going spot where you can relax on that cool roof terrace or join in on a Wednesday quiz for a laugh. It's conveniently tucked near the university and shopping centre, so it's spot on for a quick stop after wandering around. On the downside, though, the closing times can be a tad disappointing if you're hoping for a longer evening out, and it does get a bit packed at times, which might put you off if you're after somewhere quieter. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting a good beer and good company – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as it's got that genuine, homely feel without trying too hard.
