The Pottle MicroPub in Beeston

Ah, The Pottle MicroPub – it's one of those unassuming spots in Beeston that just warms your cockles from the get-go. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place nails the basics with an absolute belter of a beer selection, including top-notch real ales and brews from local spots that you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. It's got that cosy, community feel where you can settle in for a pint and end up chatting away with friendly faces, whether you're inside or out on the street. Prices are fair too, making it a go-to for a cheeky midweek tipple or a chilled weekend wind-down. On the downside, it's such a small venue that you might find yourself jostling for space or opting for the outdoors if it gets lively, and the food options are pretty basic – think packets of crisps rather than a full meal. All in all, though, it's a proper little gem for anyone after an authentic pub vibe without the hustle and bustle, and I'd say it's well worth popping in if you're in the area, just maybe plan ahead for those quieter moments.
