Best beer pub in Arnold; my favourite even though it's the far end of the high street from me…read more Many ales available: it's a Lincoln Green brewery pub, and they usually have about 8 of their ales available which gives plenty of choice, though it would be nice to have seen something interesting and variable as a guest beer rather than just the same one. Atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant: perfect for a quiet drink; no TV or music when I was there (so good if you want to avoid the football but not if you want to watch it). Some nice snack food is available but no meals.

The pub now has two lovely bars, the main room has a piano and plenty of seating. With a bar with plenty of hand pumps. The other is a really nice lounge with a snug, dominos and packs of cards available. On a nice day the courtyard is lovely dog friendly sun trap. Beer is around £2.50-£3.50 a pint but is worth every penny. The staff are all lovely and the bathrooms are clean. What more can I say. Ooh try the pork scratchings.

Mapperley Top was definitely crying out for a decent modern pub up there and so along came this…read moreplace a few years ago (recently joined by a Wetherspoon nextdoor). Now it is pitched at the older crowd as it offers many choices for bitters and out of the ordinary lagers can also be had. It also has that olb pub feel to it, or at least tries to create that feel and that is where I think it struggles. There is a mis match of what is in there. Rough wooden floors and beer barrel tables give out one signal, but then a smart little conservatory added on give it another. I can never decide whether it is a temporary building or a proper pub. It has that kind of cross between a local and having a drink in the Scout Hut. Despite my reservations on whether or not the feel is right inside, it is very popular and as with any pub as long as the people in there are having a good time then it makes it a good place to be. People seem to like it and I can be persuaded.

The Old Spot is a 2 for 1 pub located on the Daybrook area of Mansfield Road. Always found the…read moreservice and food to be of a decent standard. There are two halves of the pub - a large dining area and smaller bar area. Atmosphere is relaxed in both. Quite a few families in the day and early evening, mainly couples/oldies in the evening. Good value for money - often go for the big sharing ice creams and hot chocolates!

The server came across as quite pushy, which felt unnecessary, especially as the restaurant was empty and we were the only party there. The music was also extremely loud considering how quiet it was, which made conversation harder than it needed to be. Portion sizes were on the small side, so value for money didn't feel great. Overall it was okay for a quick lunch, but not one I'd return to.

Several tables occupied by bachelorette parties over indulging. The three of us ordered a bunch of drinks: Pina Co-lava Lam, Disco sour, Alchemy IPA and others. For food we had Nori crisps, Pablo Halloumi, duck salad, prawn lollipops, chicken gyoza, crispy chicken and a cheeseburger. Also salt & pepper fries- too salty even for me. The servers bustled around attentively. An enjoyable evening with the bill coming to £117 including the service charge. If I come back to the city I would dine here again. I don't know of a similar place in America.
