The Crow in Nottingham

Lovely sunny day and a great place to enjoy a pint near the supposed castle! We wanted to eat but the kitchen was closed so we went elsewhere after 1 drink

Really Great pub, in a superb location, with a really nice vibe. Given it is not stuck in the centre of Nottingham there is a nicer feel in the clientele. There is a lovely range of ales and lagers on tap, never really waited very long to get served, as well as a pool table with a darts board in the corner. There is lots of seating and the layout on both levels works really well. Worth a visit when the beer festival is nearby 👌

I feel awful for saying this because I know it's hard in the kitchen. But I was so disappointed in the food. We visited here last Friday night for dinner and the food was not good. I'll try to be constructive though. So I'm really sorry. The picture added is my garlic bread that waited almost an hour for. I could only take a couple bites before giving up because the bread was so hard to chew. I was disappointed because I've never been let down by garlic bread before. But this bread was over complicated and could have benefited from being a lot more simpler. It tasted like there were more ingredients other than garlic and butter, which in my opinion is unnecessary. I've never ordered a garlic bread and got something different before. I also ordered the steak sandwich which was also bad. The portion size was perfect but the steak inside was very chewy and cold! Colder than the bread and blue cheese? The salad inside the sandwich was very soggy and not fresh. I pulled it out and it had a snot-like texture. There was too much blue cheese in the sandwich (never thought I'd say that) and it overpowered all else, with no sweet or sour to cut the savoury. It was just a steak slathered in cold blue cheese.I could forgive this if it wasn't so expensive. I have paid less for food in Nottingham and received better quality. The kitchen might benefit from a simpler menu. The bar staff were very friendly and quick-paced but the environment lacks a coherent identity. I was there around 8PM on a Friday for a couple hours, all patrons were sat down and conversing (or trying to at least) with VERY loud techno/drum and bass. I don't mind this music at all, but it just felt awkward and out of place when everyone seemed to be from a more mature crowd that preferred to sit down. I'm really disappointed in this place as it is so perfectly located, it has so much potential, but it ultimately missed the mark from me. Sadly, I would not recommend visiting here unless it is convenient for you. I would love to return but unfortunately I don't think I will, unless I see some positive food reviews or something.

A nice pub situated on top of the hill outside the main gate of Nottingham Castle. I popped in just for a pint on one of the first sunny days of the year. It was lovely grabbing a table outside and people watching down Castle Road. I didn't too much choice for a real Ale drinker but there were a few craft IPAs on offer.

We ordered toasties and after an hour of waiting some toasties showed up, but the completely wrong order. The one burger that was ordered was burned to an absolute crisp. Don't normally post reviews but really wouldn't suggest eating here.
