The Abdication

The Abdication

Verified
4.8(230 reviews)
95/100
The Abdication is a delightful micropub in Nottingham, serving up cracking beers in a friendly, homely setting that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic variety of real ales, craft beers, ciders, and even some gins and wines to suit all tastes
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, like stepping into a cosy front room where everyone says hello and strikes up a chat
  • Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready with recommendations and making you feel right at home from the get-go
  • It's got that quirky, neighbourhood charm with events like quiz nights and bike meets that add a fun twist to your visit
  • Dog-friendly and family-oriented, which makes it a great spot for those of us who like to bring the whole crew along
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit on the small side, so it can get quite crowded on busy evenings, making it tricky to find a seat
  • Opening hours are limited to evenings and weekends, which means it's not ideal if you're after a daytime pint or fancy popping in midweek
  • With only five days a week open, you might miss out if your schedule doesn't align, especially during the quieter times

94/100
The Robin Hood and Little John is a charming historic pub in Nottingham with an ace range of ales and a cosy feel, ideal for a relaxed catch-up, though it has the odd service slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of real ales with 20 hand pulls, featuring Lincoln Green brews and guests from all over – perfect for ale enthusiasts!
  • Lovely historic atmosphere in a building dating back to 1726, now beautifully revived and full of character.
  • Really welcoming vibe, being dog-friendly, family-friendly, and with outdoor seating and a sun terrace for those sunny days.
  • Great events like live music and quiz nights, plus it's won awards such as CAMRA's Pub of the Year, which speaks volumes.
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasional dips in customer service, like that one review where the bar staff seemed a bit off, which can put a damper on things.
  • Minor niggles with facilities, such as the lack of certain toiletries, that might not ruin the visit but are worth noting.

Sashas Bar is a welcoming cocktail spot in Nottingham with brilliant service and tasty treats, though it's not perfect when it comes to staff consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The service is generally top-notch – staff are attentive and make you feel right at home, especially during afternoon teas.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks and food; think lovely Guinness, delicious cakes, and hearty afternoon teas that offer great value for money.
  • The atmosphere can be really welcoming and creates a nice vibe for a relaxed catch-up with friends.
  • It's open seven days a week with flexible hours, making it easy to pop in for a coffee or a late-night drink.

  • The atmosphere doesn't always live up to expectations; one person found it a bit disappointing despite the other positives.

The Organ Grinder

4.4(277 reviews)
87/100
The Organ Grinder, or as it's known locally, The Lord Nelson, is a cracking little pub in Arnold with a lively vibe and smashing beers, though it's not without a few rough edges.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is always buzzing and lively, making it a great spot for a casual catch-up with mates.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of Blue Monkey beers, like that Cinder Toffee stout – it's a real treat.
  • The staff can be really welcoming and provide top-notch service, especially when you're settling in for a pint.
  • There's a spacious beer garden and plenty of seating options inside, plus handy spots to charge your phone.
  • It's undergone a nice makeover, feeling more comfortable and homely now.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might not be the best for dog owners, as they seem picky about noise, which could lead to a less than pleasant experience.
  • Some folks have mentioned the staff can be a bit rude or unwelcoming at times, which puts a damper on things.
  • It feels like they might favour the locals, so if you're just passing through, it could come across as a tad exclusive.

The Eagles Corner is a warm and welcoming spot in Arnold, perfect for a relaxed pint, tasty grub, and good times with family or friends – it's got that classic British pub charm with a friendly twist.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think cracking fish and chips or juicy burgers that leave you wanting more, all at a fair price.
  • The staff are an absolute delight, always friendly and going out of their way to make sure everyone's happy, whether it's for a quick bite or a special event.
  • It's super family-friendly and dog-friendly too, with a lovely beer garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun or enjoying a quiet moment.
  • They've got a great vibe for catching up with mates, plus free WiFi and things like quizzes and sports on the telly to keep things lively.
  • The drinks selection is brilliant, from real ales and cocktails to low-alcohol options, and there are some cracking deals like two mains for a steal.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can seem a bit muddled at times, which might catch you out if you're planning a visit on a whim.
  • It can get quite busy, especially during events or peak times, so you might have to wait for a table or deal with a bit of a crowd.
  • As it's a proper pub, the atmosphere can be on the lively side, which isn't ideal if you're after somewhere really peaceful for a chat.

Waggon and Horses is a welcoming Nottingham pub that's spot on for events and has a homely vibe, but watch out for the occasional service slip-ups that might dampen the fun.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The landlady and her team are absolutely brilliant at making everyone feel welcome, especially for special occasions like wakes – it's heartwarming to hear how they go the extra mile.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for events; it's cosy and creates lovely memories, with some folks raving about the food that really hits the spot.
  • Under the current owners, the pub seems to have turned things around and become a real gem in the community, perfect for a good old catch-up.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few unsettling incidents, like the landlord getting a bit out of hand during events, which has left some feeling quite upset and put off.
  • Service can be hit or miss, with stories of unfriendly attitudes when trying to get a drink, even when the place is quiet.
  • Hygiene isn't always up to scratch, as a couple of mentions about fruit flies and other niggles have cropped up, which is a shame for an otherwise inviting spot.

Arnold Liberal Club is a welcoming social spot in Nottingham that's perfect for lively events and get-togethers, with friendly vibes and great value for money.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The function room is absolutely brilliant for hosting parties and events – it's free to hire with just a small deposit, which you get back if everything's tickety-boo.
  • The staff are so friendly and welcoming; they really go the extra mile to make your night special, as plenty of folks have mentioned in their reviews.
  • The food and catering are top-notch, with rave reviews about the amazing meals served up for occasions like birthday bashes.
  • They've got a cracking atmosphere with events like 80s nights, live music, and vinyl evenings that get everyone up dancing and having a laugh.
  • It's a solid spot for social gatherings, with plenty of space, tables, chairs, and even room to decorate as you please.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website is a bit basic and not very informative – it feels like a standard setup that hasn't been fleshed out much, so you might need to ring them for details.
  • Operating hours seem a tad limited and inconsistent, mostly evenings and Sundays, which could be a hassle if you're hoping for a midweek meet-up.
  • While the overall rating is a respectable 4.2, it's clear from the reviews that not everyone's experience is perfect, even if the recent ones are glowing.
  • There might not be as much variety in events or activities as some larger venues, so if you're after something more dynamic, it could fall a bit short.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are generally friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home when you pop in for a drink or a bite.
  • They've got a cracking atmosphere with live music, bingo sessions, and even a bouncy castle in the beer garden – perfect for a fun afternoon out.

Areas for Improvement
  • Some staff can be a bit rude or unpolite, like in that instance with the ID badge, which really puts a dampener on things.
  • There are times when kids are running wild, which can spoil the adult-oriented space and make it feel less relaxing.
  • Drinks might feel overpriced for what you get, as one person mentioned with their £8 spirit, so it's worth keeping an eye on the tab.
  • The atmosphere can sometimes come across as boring or overly crowded, depending on when you visit, so it might not always hit the mark.

  • Recent reviews show a mixed bag, with some folks not as chuffed as others, so it might not always hit the mark for everyone.

The Vale is a charming Nottingham pub with a standout carvery and cracking beers, ideal for a casual get-together, though it could use a refresh to really shine.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The carvery is an absolute winner – it's fresh, generous with portions, and highly recommended for a hearty Sunday roast that leaves you feeling stuffed and satisfied.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of real ales and beers, including guest ales with a cheeky 10% discount for CAMRA members, making it a top spot for ale enthusiasts.
  • It's family-friendly with a dedicated children's menu, so it's perfect for a relaxed outing with the little ones.
  • Live sports on premium HD screens via Sky and BT Sports add to the buzz, whether you're catching the footie or F1 in a lively atmosphere.
  • Quiz nights and events keep things entertaining, and the overall vibe is welcoming with friendly service and reasonably priced grub.
Areas for Improvement
  • The pub could do with a bit of a spruce-up; it's feeling a tad dated and not as inviting as it could be, which might put some off at first glance.
  • Opinions on the carvery vary – while it's brilliant for some, others have found it underwhelming, so it might not live up to every expectation.
  • There can be queues, especially on busy days like Sundays, which means you might have to wait a bit for your meal.

The Lord Nelson is a charming little pub in Nottingham with stellar beer, friendly faces, and some cracking pork pies – it's a hidden gem worth seeking out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer is absolutely top-notch, with reviewers raving about how excellent it is.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got some standout food options, like the best pork pies – especially the stilton ones – which are a real treat.
  • It's got a solid, cosy atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a relaxed pint or catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a handful of reviews, it might not be the most buzzing place, so it could feel a bit quiet or under the radar.
  • There's no website or online presence to speak of, which makes it trickier to check out menus or events before heading over.
  • The reviews are a bit sparse and not very recent, so you might wonder if it's still as lively as it was a few years back.

  • It's got a great atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening or even catching up with mates over a drink.

The Ernehale is a friendly Wetherspoon spot in Arnold, offering brilliant value on drinks and food in a lively pub setting, though it's not without the odd kitchen slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's incredibly affordable, with cheap drinks and meals that give you great bang for your buck – perfect for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
  • The food can be spot on when it's good, like piping hot curries or tasty cod and chips, and they've got refillable coffee or tea which is a lovely little perk.
  • They've got a solid selection of beers and a welcoming vibe that makes it feel like a proper local spot for catching up with mates.
  • The atmosphere is generally lively and enjoyable, especially if you're after that classic pub feel with good value grub.
Areas for Improvement
  • The kitchen can be a bit hit or miss, with some dishes coming out overcooked or missing key bits like sauce or salad, which is a shame when you're expecting consistency.
  • There are occasional grumbles about food quality, like eggs benedict that's more hard-boiled than poached, so it might not always live up to the hype.
  • While it's generally reliable, you might find yourself hoping for a bit more attention to detail in the cooking to avoid any disappointments.

Arnold & District Victory Club is a charming little spot in Daybrook, Nottingham, with a warm, community feel and heaps of entertainment on offer, though you'll need to sort out membership first.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it feel like a proper community hub where everyone knows each other.
  • They've got a fantastic lineup of entertainment, including bingo, live shows, and even stickies, which always make for a great night out.
  • It's family-oriented with special events for kids like Halloween and Christmas parties, plus activities such as pool, darts, and skittles teams.
  • The bar staff are top-notch – helpful and cheerful, which really adds to the overall experience.
  • Membership is affordable at around £6 a year, and it's well worth it for the regular family nights, karaoke, and facilities for private functions.
Areas for Improvement
  • Parking can be a bit of a hassle with permit restrictions on the road, so you might end up walking a short distance if spaces are taken.
  • You'll need to get a membership to enjoy the place, which might put off casual visitors looking for a quick drop-in.
  • There aren't any specific operating hours listed, which could make planning a visit a tad tricky.
  • It seems like the club might not be as active online, with no website and an unclaimed Google profile, so it's not the easiest to find out more beforehand.
  • From what I can tell, it might not be operating at full tilt right now, which is a shame given the positive vibes from folks who've been.

It was Halloween night for the youngsters and they seemed to be having a brilliant time. Found the games room which was quieter as we wanted to chat.
Patricia Spiby
Nice venue, went to watch darts, the only downside I'd say is if you don't find a carpark space, I think it's permit parking on the road.

The Longbow is a welcoming pub in Nottingham that's brilliant for families and events, with friendly service and tasty food, though it has a few quirks worth noting.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff at The Longbow are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, welcoming, and quick to help, making every visit feel like catching up with mates.
  • It's a top spot for events like weddings or birthday parties, with plenty of space, soft play areas for the little ones, and even a park outside to keep kids entertained.
  • The food is spot on, especially those roast dinners – fresh, full of flavour, and proper satisfying, as if they've put real care into every bite.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely; whether it's a lively disco for adults or a relaxed family gathering, it creates a warm and inclusive vibe that makes you want to linger.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can seem a bit muddled with multiple listings for Sundays, which might leave you scratching your head about when it's actually open.
  • While the reviews we have are glowing, the overall rating sits at 4.0, suggesting that not every experience has been perfect, perhaps due to occasional inconsistencies.
  • Their website had some issues when I checked, so it might not be the easiest place to get all the info you need upfront, which could be a minor hassle for planning a visit.

Cooper's Brook is a friendly local pub in Daybrook that's all about warm service, decent grub, and a welcoming vibe for a casual catch-up, though it's more about comfort than culinary surprises.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and so attentive – they make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • A cracking selection of pub grub, with tasty grilled options and specials that cater to all tastes, plus fun things like brunch deals.
  • It's super accessible, with ramps and helpful touches for anyone with mobility needs, making it easy for everyone to enjoy.

  • They've got a great function room for events, like birthdays, with flexible options that add a nice touch for celebrations.
Areas for Improvement
  • The food's solid and reliable, but it doesn't always wow – it's good pub fare without being particularly innovative or standout.
  • Drink choices can feel a bit limited in some areas, like the function room, so you might need to head to the main bar for more variety.
  • It seems like the place has had its ups and downs over the years, with some past visits not living up to expectations, though it's improved lately.
