The Good Fellow George

Verified
4.8(182 reviews)
95/100
The Good Fellow George is a cracking little pub with top-notch service, delicious grub, and a warm atmosphere that'll make you feel right at home – it's a real winner for a laid-back night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure you're well looked after and adding to that cosy, welcoming vibe.
  • The food is absolutely spot on, with highlights like the cheese boards, Sunday roasts, and small plates that leave you wanting more – it's all about quality and flavour.
Areas for Improvement
  • They don't have a phone number, so sorting out any queries means emailing, which might not be as straightforward if you're in a rush.
  • Being slightly outside the main city centre could make it a bit of a trek for some, especially on a rainy day when you'd rather not wander far.

The Bulls Well

Verified
4.7(183 reviews)
93/100
The Bulls Well is a cracking little micro-pub in Nottingham with a fab atmosphere, friendly faces, and solid drinks that make it a go-to for a relaxed catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's warm, friendly, and makes you feel right at home, just like chatting with mates down the local.
  • Staff are brilliant; they're welcoming and always up for a good natter, which really adds to the charm.
Areas for Improvement
  • As a micro-pub, space can feel a tad cosy, especially if it's busy, so it might not suit larger groups all the time.
  • The beer selection might not be everyone's cup of tea, as some folks have mentioned it's hit or miss with certain breweries.

Willow Tree Inn

Verified
4.6(704 reviews)
92/100
Willow Tree Inn is a delightful pub in Nottingham that's all about cracking food, warm service, and a welcoming vibe, though it leans a tad more towards restaurant territory.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home with their friendly and helpful service.
  • The food is spot on – think amazing steak and Stilton pie or hearty fish and chips that hit the spot every time.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel more like a restaurant than a traditional pub, which might disappoint if you're after a classic boozer atmosphere.
  • Prices might add up a bit, like with a fish and chips and half a pint coming to £13.50, so it pays to keep an eye on the bill.

92/100
The Lion at Basford is a real gem of a pub – full of charm, cracking beers, and a welcoming vibe that keeps everyone coming back for more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – up to 10 cask lines, craft beers, and a great range of ciders, plus it's been in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide for years, so you know it's top-notch.
  • Live music every Friday and Saturday night, along with weekly quizzes, makes it a lively spot for a fun night out with friends.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially in the summer months, so you might have to queue for a table or struggle to find a quiet corner.
  • The opening hours seem a tad inconsistent from the schedule, with some early closes listed, which could catch you out if you're planning a late one.

The Organ Grinder is a cracking little pub in Nottingham with top-quality beers and a warm, inviting atmosphere, though it's not without a few quirks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of fresh Blue Monkey ales and some great guest options that really hit the spot.
  • It's got such a cosy and welcoming vibe, perfect for a relaxed evening with friends, and the staff are lovely and always up for a chat.
Areas for Improvement
  • The entertainment can be hit or miss, like that one time with the terrible covers band that put a bit of a dampener on the night.
  • Food options are pretty limited, mostly just tasty pork pies and snacks rather than a full menu, so it might not satisfy if you're after a proper meal.

  • They've got a great selection of beer at really reasonable prices, perfect for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement

Headstocks in Nottingham is a gem of a pub that's spot-on for events with its lovely setup and friendly vibe, though it could do with clearer info on regular offerings.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff at Headstocks are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, helpful, and go out of their way to make sure everything runs smoothly, like with those baby showers folks have raved about.
  • It's a top spot for hosting events; the function room is beautifully decorated and affordable, making it easy to book and perfect for creating special memories with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours listed seem a bit muddled, which might leave you scratching your head about when it's best to pop in, especially if you're planning a casual visit rather than an event.
  • There's not much detail out there on the everyday pub side of things, like the food or drink options, so it might feel more geared towards functions than your typical pint and chat.

The Plough is a lovely traditional pub in Nottingham, serving up cracking beers and a welcoming atmosphere, though the decor could do with a bit of a spruce-up.

Areas for Improvement
  • The decorations and paint job are a bit lacklustre – that grey paint really lets down the atmosphere in places.

The Limekiln's a cracking little pub in Bulwell, offering solid grub, friendly service, and a welcoming vibe that's perfect for a casual catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think fresh salads, tasty burgers, and hearty Sunday lunches that hit the spot every time.
  • Staff are an absolute delight; they're warm, welcoming, and go the extra mile, like checking for allergies and serving with a smile.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit lively during peak times, which might mean a wait for your food or a table if you're popping in spontaneously.
  • The music and dancing vibe is fun, but if you're after a quiet pint, it might feel a tad energetic on busier nights.

The Lion Revived is a charming little pub in Bulwell that's been given a fresh lease of life with its refurb, boasting friendly vibes and good value, though it does have its noisy moments.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and create a really welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
  • It's had a fantastic refurbishment lately, with a smart new paint job and updates both inside and out – the pub garden is a lovely touch.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite loud inside, which might make it hard to have a proper chat if you're after something more subdued.
  • With only a handful of recent reviews, it seems like things might have quietened down a bit, so it could feel less lively at times.

The William Peverel is a classic Wetherspoons in Nottingham – affordable, lively, and full of character, but watch out as the food can sometimes let it down.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially on quiz nights – it's packed and full of fun, making it a top spot for a good laugh with mates.
  • Prices are spot on for a budget-friendly night out; you get great value for your money on drinks and meals.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss – some dishes come out overcooked or undercooked, like a steak that's more cremated than medium.
  • There are reports of meals feeling microwaved or stale, such as dry chicken, stuck-together rice, or rock-hard naan that could double as a frisbee.

Wetherspoon in Bulwell is a budget-friendly spot with decent drinks and a lively feel, but it has its fair share of crowds and service hiccups that might put you off on busier days.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • It's a decent-sized pub with a welcoming atmosphere, especially for events like New Year's Eve where the service really shines.
Areas for Improvement

  • Service can be hit or miss, with long waits for food when things get hectic, which is a bit frustrating.
