    This is a great little Live music venue. I went recently to…read moresee Ivyrise, Paper Heroes and Alistair Griffin on September 16th. Downstairs is a great bar area where the prices are quite reasonable and it is possible to hang out with the talent before the gig starts. There are 2 pleasant and clean smoking areas outside downstairs and upstairs. The live music happens upstairs in the intimate little room that oozed atmosphere. I was one of the first up there and felt at home already. It is possible to stand at the bar and get a good view of the stage or sit at the back on the comfy sofas but the best place to be once the artists are on stage is right in front of the stage on the dancefloor. One Criticism would be that the beer is dearer upstairs than downstairs.

    Do you like to listen to obscure indie bands, and feel smug when you can identify them being played…read morein a bar / club? Do you go out of your way to find 'quirky' or 'vintage' clothing to express your 'individuality', and try to look cool without it appearing that you've made any effort to do so? Do you see yourself as a moody but intellectual type who really has never had very much in your life to actually feel moody about? Are you a grown adult in your early to mid-20s, but think it's 'cute' to carry a bag or purse or wear a shirt with a picture of a retro cartoon character from your childhood on it? If so, this could be the place for you. An indie poser's paradise is how i've always seen this place, and I spent a fair bit of time in here only due to playing gigs. It's a subjective thing I know, but I just find the clientele too posy and pretentious for my liking. Still, the comments about this place as a music venue are quite accurate. A lot of up and coming bands do pass through the doors here, so it really can be the place to catch the 'next big thing' if that's what you are into. If you regularly attend gigs here, it is quite likely that at some point in the future, you'll be turning to your friends or people around you at a big gig and saying "I saw these guys before they were famous!" (famous meaning that they've now appeared on the inner pages of the NME a couple of times). On a less sarcastic note, it is a pleasant enough place inside and you're not likely to get caught up in a punch up on a Saturday night, unless you find yourself in a really heated debate with somebody about whether or not White Lies sound anything like Joy Division. If you are a genuine fan of indie music, then this is probably the best place in Nottingham to come to, whether you are pretentious or not.

    THE CLOAKROOM MANAGER MADE ME CRY…read more I went to a Rebel Rebel night (22/10 - 23/10) and had to deal with the rudest cloakroom employee (the manager) I've ever seen in my life. I had a ticket to get my jacket. The cloakroom manager said it wasn't enough, she needed my initials. I told her that no one asked for it when I gave my jacket. She insisted they did because they were trained for it. I insisted they didn't (two or three times more) and she always said, "but they did". The truth is, no one did when I went to the club (my friends were beside me and they saw that, plus, I was fully sober). I also told her I could show a 2015 picture wearing that jacket she said she didn't care. As if that wasn't enough I was called "rude" by her even though I was not, not even for a second. I was just stressed and upset by the situation and the way she was handling it. Not being believed and having to deal with someone who treated me like piece of s*it was awful. I cried the whole way back home and I was lucky enough my friend managed to deal with the situation while I was about to cry and couldn't handle myself. RUINED MY EVENING. I'm extremely disappointed. This happened in the rebel rebel night (a bit before 3am). Don't recommend going there at all, unless you don't mind crying on your way back home.

    Nice rock and metal club, it attracts bands what are much bigger than a venue of this size and…read morequality normally would - it has a solid history. Pick the night you go carefully though, like the Electric Ballroom in London, just because it's a rock place doesn't mean every night is rock music. Have been to RC and had to stand through track after track of shitty pop and techno many times

    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.
