We ended up here after failing to find a pub down by the canal that wasn't playing rubbish music…read more And I am so glad we did. The music was so much better here. As was the beer, the food and the staff. An old building from 1240 no less, Ye Olde indeed. Proper historic stuff in fairness. Inside there is the main bar area, but then off to the right there are a few smaller areas that are more intimate. I ended up getting a bottle of Bulmers with ice (crushed ice that made for a lovely cider slushy), but they also had a few real ales on tap that would have done lovely also. One that stuck in my mind was the Nottingham Brewery EPA, which I had tried the day before from a bottle and liked. Good to see it on tap. For food I went with the Lasagne with salad and chips, which was really good. Proper lovely pub grub. The staff all appeared to be rockers, which was fortunate for them because some great rock tunes were coming out of the speakers through out the pub ;) When back in Notts, I will go out of my way to get back to Ye Olde Salutation Inn.

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham is a really fun and memorable spot that earns a solid four…read morestars for the overall experience. This place absolutely nails the spooky, historic ambience and that alone makes it worth the visit. Built into the rock and filled with low ceilings, uneven floors, and centuries of history, it genuinely feels like stepping back in time. Every corner has character and a slightly eerie charm that adds to the experience rather than taking away from it. The ambience is easily the highlight here. From the dim lighting to the old stone walls and hidden nooks, it feels authentic and atmospheric without trying too hard. It is the kind of place where you want to slow down, look around, and soak it all in. If you appreciate history or enjoy places with a bit of mystery and legend behind them, this pub delivers in a big way. Service was good overall but not outstanding. Staff were friendly and helpful, though things moved at a relaxed pace, especially when it got busy. Orders were correct and everyone was polite, but there were moments where service felt just okay rather than exceptional. That said, the staff fit the vibe of the place well and were happy to answer questions about the history, which added to the experience. Drinks were solid and what you would expect from a historic pub. Nothing mind blowing, but enjoyable and well poured. The food was decent and satisfying, fitting the traditional pub feel, even if it did not completely steal the show. Overall Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a place you go for the atmosphere and history first, with good service and an enjoyable experience rounding it out. It is not perfect, but it is unique, memorable, and absolutely worth a visit when in Nottingham. Four stars for a spooky, historic pub that delivers charm and character in spades.

Recommended by a friend in Ohio, and what a recommendation! I had lunch after touring Nottingham…read moreCastle, which I would recommend as Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is in a cave under the castle. Like all structures of this era, the ceilings are quite low and the stairs and rooms are quite twisty and full of surprises. The staff was so nice and efficient. I ordered at the bar downstairs and had my meal delivered to a table on the next floor (see video). I've taken many trips to the UK, and frequented many establishments with signs claiming the "world's best fish and chips.". The fish was amazing and perfectly prepared. The chips were not greasy at all, and very flavorful. The highlight was the fresh peas! Bursting with flavor. I rate the fish and chips second only to the Mayfair Chippy in London, however, the ambiance and experience takes it over the top even if you're only slopping by for a pint.

Backstreet Boozer - Lacks Customer Service…read more If you're even considering setting foot in this abysmal excuse for an establishment, do yourself a favour and don't. In a city like Nottingham, brimming with exceptional venues that raise the bar for quality and service, this disgrace somehow manages to scrape the absolute bottom of the barrel. The so-called "customer service" here is nothing short of a shambles--marked by sheer incompetence, an utter lack of basic courtesy, and staff who seem to have perfected the art of being surly and unhelpful. But the real pièce de résistance of this disaster is the landlord, who somehow manages to be even ruder than his staff. Whether you're a first-time visitor, a local, or simply someone with a shred of self-respect, avoid this trainwreck like the plague. Nottingham offers an abundance of refined, reputable establishments where patrons are treated with the professionalism and respect they deserve. Save your time, money, and sanity--bypass this disaster and enjoy one of the city's far superior options instead.

The staff are all lovely and friendly and very helpful. There was a large group of us and the barman brought our drinks over to our table. Also when my friend spilt his drink there was immediately someone there with a cloth to mop up even before we asked. They have a great selection of real ales on tap as well as a good selection of the usual lagers and beers. There is also a selection of food and snacks. I wasn't too impressed with the cleanliness in the ladies toilets but it was the end of the night. One of the nicest things about this pub is that there is no loud thumping music so you can sit and have a relaxing drink in a nice atmosphere and chat easily without having to shout to your friends.

His cod was perfect and curly fries were golden crispy hot. The mushy peas were the best ever and maintained their spring green colour. Had to stop and compliment the solo female chef. Plated her food like only a 4 star Michlin could. And to top it off when the DJ came on the whole pub started singing along and dancing! Wow what an evening
