The manager offered us a tab, not knowing us from Adam. A good choice of beers, usually I have a problem getting a dark one. There should be more people here, surely on a match day?

They have live music most…read moredays with a wide genre of music for all tastes but definitely worth a visit to appreciate the entertainment on offer, personally I think the best night is Saturday where some of the better know bands play. Although please note this venue is loud so if you are not into live music, it might be not your cup of tea. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The choice of beers is great. The locals are also very friendly. The downside is the car park is not very big so parking can sometimes be a problem. I understand they have a cafe on the back but this is not something that I have sampled.

The Standing Order is the classiest of several J.D. Wetherspoon pubs in Derby (another one, The…read moreThomas Leaper, is right next door - which is kind of peculiar), housed in a former bank - indeed several Spoons called The Standing Order are in former bank buildings, like the one in Edinburgh). The décor is more stylish than the one you will find in other Spoons, though still easily recognizable. The food of course is the same that you will find in other JDW pubs, with very minor variations (e.g. the selection of small plates is smaller here than e.g at The Babington Arms, also in Derby). The drinks selection is huge and the prices competitive (try and find a real ale from UKP 2,75 at any pub that isn't a Spoon!), and that of course attracts a certain clientèle, especially on weekend nights. If you can accept that, it's a highly recommendable place for inexpensive drinks and (usually reliable) food.

We went in here at around 10.30pm on a Saturday night and it was packed out. The music was loud and…read morethumping although I did just about manage to have a conversation. The service was pretty fast at the bar so you don't have to wait long although the drinks are quite expensive. There was no spare seats or tables at the front of the bar and it was pretty busy with lots of people standing around, we did find a table to sit at the back near the stairs that lead down to the toilets. One thing I did like was that there was a wide age range of clientèle not just young uns out on the razz, Oh and the doors are very wide which means it is accessible for wheelchairs to get in and out.

The decor is really welcoming, lots of nice dark wood, lovely ceilings and fantastic lighting. The ambience is very couth, very growns up. The wine list is very nice, and includes some nice surprising varieties, including a very nice Sauvignon with pear and apricot flavours. Yum yum. The service at the bar is efficient but casual, no over-keen "hey guys!" bartenders here. There is always a pretty great crowd here, lots going on, mostly an in-city working crowd after work for a drink or some food with friends. Once we were seated and given menus, we found a nice selection of dependable food without anything flashy or worrying. When the seabass and chicken mains arrived, they were well cooked, with flaky tender fish and non-stringy, moist chicken. The sides and starters were also nice. We skipped dessert as we were stuffed full, and opted for more wine, both bottles of which suited everyone's tastes and were respectively mellow and crisp. The kitchen service was fast, but not worryingly so, and the manager, who brought our food over, was a very friendly and chatty fellow. Definitely an easy choice if you're not looking for a bespoke dining experience, but a welcoming, low-key place in Nottingham

The Bell Inn is a lovely historic pub in downtown Nottingham, right next to the Market Square. It…read moregoes back centuries, and has been lovingly restored, but the Greene King label might turn some people off. It shouldn't. Sure, you'll get the usual array of GK ales, only a few of which can actually be recommended. However, there are usually many guest ales available on tap, too - plus, they're running their own beer festivals. The location itself is just splendid: The pub is subdivided into several discrete sections, with a larger room to the back. So, if you want it quiet, choose one of the two smaller "compartments" to the front of the pub. Beautiful old wood for décor, a bar each in the three areas - a small outside seating area, generally nice staff - What's not to like? If you can overcome your prejudices against "Greedy King", by all means drop by while in Nottingham.

The Bell Inn is in the centre of Nottingham just off the Old Market Square dates back to at least…read more1437 and is one of the oldest in the county. It is a pub full of interesting,wood panelled, atmospheric rooms each with their own story to tell. Keeps a good range of real ales and food. Recently refurbished. Well worth a visit. A group of Carmelite Friars arrived in Nottingham in 1276 and readily obtained lands and property. They established a Friary (on what is now Friar Lane) and their lands extended to include the site of what is now The Bell Inn. By the accurate dating of the building, it's identification as a hostelry with stables, and it's location, it is reliably considered that the building was the guesthouse of the Friary. The Bell originally served as a refectory of the Carmelite monastery then sited on Beast market Hill, just below St James Street Junction. Henry VIII closed small monasteries in 1539 in an effort to tap a valuable source of income, and then it became a secular alehouse, taking it's name from the Angelus bell (Latin word meaning 'the noon-day bell') that hung outside the monks' refectory, which explains how The Bell got its name. Dendrochronology dating evidence from timbers in the Bell Inn gives a date for the building of c.1420. Hardys & Hansons, Greene King IPA 3.6% abv and Abbot Ale 5% abv, plus a wide selection of quality guest ales from an ever-changing selection.

I visited the Revolution bar in the afternoon for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The…read moregirl behind the bar told us to take a seat instead of waiting at the bar and came and took our order for drinks from our table. I love the leather seats they are really comfortable like sofas even and I sank right down in my seat straight away. The atmosphere was relaxing. There was music but it wasn't intrusive. We could happily chat away without having to shout. The young barmaid brought our wine over to our table for us and even poured it for us. She did come back over when the bottle was empty and ask if we wanted any more but other than that she didn't bother us. The only downfall was the fact that the ladies is up 2 flights of stairs which could be a problem if you leave it too late. The food is quite reasonable too although we weren't eating on this occasion. A lovely alternative to Wetherspoons if you are looking for an afternoon tipple.
