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.

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.

My favorite this about this place was the decour as it was fabm very gothic and halloweeny but for all year round, it's a proper metal hang out. Another totally top thing is their seven deadly sins drinks. Every sin has a drink and every drink is devine to the max. Me and my friend made it through all seven in one night and because they're not that strong you won't be seeing them again. All in al if you like rock music you will love this place to the ground.

Had the steak ale pie £7.95. It was hot and huge and delicious. Loads of gravy which I appreciate. Served with chips orang and peas. I also a pint and now I'm onto vodka red bulls. A double is £4.95. I only used half my can and so have another just double vodka at £3.95 which I think is a good price. There's an extensive mixed drinks menu which looks fairly impressive. The crowd is very unpretentious. There's a range from the after work business crowd to hardcore goth looking types.

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.

Nope - while the beer range is relatively limited for a BrewDog (or least it is relative to my past BrewDog local Shepherds Bush), the interior is softly-lit, with a slightly retro warm atmosphere and plenty of wood to be see. Sure, it's geeky too, with an old Sega Megadrive running Streets of Rage (classic!) for anyone who wanted a trip back to yesteryear. But in my view BrewDogs can all too often be stripped back, deliberately cold affairs which I'm not a huge fan of. So BrewDog Nottingham's more traditional, welcoming vibe is a refreshing change.

All are of course kept fresh on the premises.

The food prices, especially on "club days", are certainly competitive - and the food itself significantly better than that a Spoon. The steak was cooked to order [medium rare]. This is a first-rate community pub which is comfortable, friendly - and it certainly invites you to linger. Outside seating provided, too.
