About This Pub

Ah, Totally Tapped – it's become one of those go-to spots for us craft beer fans around Nottingham, and I have to say, it's got a lot going for it. From what I've gathered from the buzz and reviews, they've nailed the beer side of things with an impressive lineup of kegs, cask ales, ciders, wines, and even cocktails, plus plenty of cans and bottles for taking away or sipping on site. It's brilliant to see options for all tastes, including alcohol-free and vegan picks, which makes it feel inclusive and thoughtful. The staff really shine too; they're dead welcoming, which helps create that cosy, homely atmosphere where you can just relax and chat. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – it can come across as a bit of a locals' hangout at first, so if you're new, you might feel a wee bit out of place until you get chatting. The small size of the place means it gets packed quickly, and you could find yourself sharing a table with strangers, which isn't ideal if you're after some space. Oh, and I've heard a few mentions of glasses not being as clean as they'd like, which is a shame because it takes away from the experience a touch. Still, with such a high rating overall, it's clear the good bits outweigh the niggles, and I'd definitely suggest giving it a go if you're in the area – just pop in with an open mind and a thirst for something special.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • Fantastic selection of craft beers, real ales, ciders, and more – there's always something exciting to try, including alcohol-free and vegan options from local and international breweries.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it easy to settle in and enjoy your visit.
  • Lovely atmosphere in a cosy setting, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates over a pint.
  • It's a great spot for beer enthusiasts, with a wide range available to drink in or take away.
Cons
  • It can feel a bit intimidating when you first walk in, as it has that locals-only vibe which might put off newcomers.
  • Occasionally, the beer glasses aren't as spotless as they should be, which is a bit disappointing.
  • The space is quite compact, so you might end up sharing tables or feeling a tad squished during busier times.
  • Some of the regulars can get a bit chatty or loud, which might spoil the ambience if you're after a quiet drink.

Nice little micro pub with a good range of beers, cask, keg and cans. Lovely drop from liquid light on cask. Nice decor, felt a bit intimidating walking in, seemed a bit of a locals place but the lady behind the bar was nice and friendly. Unfortunately beer glasses were a little dirty with lipstick marks on.

Update since it moved across the road. Great little pub, easily ruined by people who like the sound of their own voice. A small and cosy pub, slightly larger now it has moved, with small tables made to optimise the space. A combination of beer and lack of a volume switch in some customers can ruin it though, as it's impossible to be more than an arm's length from them. Other than that, excellent staff and a fantastic choice of some legendary beers.

A great stop at Totally Tapped on the way into Nottingham on the tram. A nice selection of cask and keg. Friendly service and a great space to enjoy beer. Last time we visited the premises were accros the road - Love the new place. 5*

Visited Saturday 18th March 2023 mid/late afternoon. Recently moved to their new premises, it looks really good; however, it's also really....compact, for lack of a better word. The majority of seating and tablets are custom made for the space, expect to be sharing your table and extra/unused seats, personally I like it, that's what these places are all about. One warning, avoid the seats on the left as you walk in, the ones facing away from the bar, the top of the shelf protrudes further than the back of the bench and jabs you in the back. Staff are friendly, talkative and polite without being pretentious. Beer choice is excellent; however, with the genuinely sad demise of Totally Brewed the offerings will alter both on cask, keg, and in the fridges, although I still expect it to be excellent. Definitely worth the trip to Beeston, we'll be back.
