Waterside - Nottingham

Ah, Waterside – it's one of those places that really hits the spot for a relaxed get-together with mates. Picture this: you're sat out on the patio with the River Trent sparkling away, sipping on a cocktail from their great deals, and tucking into some solid pub fare that's both affordable and varied. The staff are an absolute delight; they're quick on their feet and make you feel right at home, which is why it's brilliant for birthdays, watching the footy, or even planning a special event. It's pet-friendly too, so you can bring the dog along for the fun. On the flip side, though, I've heard of a couple of slip-ups, like a nasty nail that caught someone's dress, which is a bit of a downer in an otherwise lovely setting. And if you're an early riser, you might find the doors don't open until 1pm, so it's not the best for a morning pint. All in all, it's a gem in West Bridgford with heaps of positive vibes from the reviews, but like any spot, it's good to go in with eyes open to those small imperfections. I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in Nottingham – just keep an eye out for the details!
