The Horseshoe Inn in Bulwell

Ah, The Horseshoe Inn in Bulwell – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a cosy corner of the neighbourhood, you know? From what I've gathered, the folks behind the bar are absolute stars, always up for a chat and making sure you feel right at home, whether you're a regular or just popping in for a quick one. It's brilliant for settling in with mates to watch the footie or whatever's on, paired with a refreshing pint at prices that won't leave your wallet weeping. That traditional pub atmosphere really shines through, giving it a warm, community feel that's so inviting. On the downside, though, there are a few grumbles about the toilets not being up to snuff – things like no soap or dryers can make you think twice about your next visit. And I've seen some mixed feelings about the new owners' decisions, like turning bins into plant pots, which hasn't sat well with everyone and might disrupt that familiar charm a bit. Overall, with a strong 4.3 rating, it's still a place I'd recommend giving a go if you're in Nottingham, as the good bits far outweigh the bad, but it's always good to go in with eyes open.
