The Ernhale
The Ernhale is friendly, it does cheap as chips food and the staff are a friendly bunch of souls. Also, they normally have a good selection of beer on tap.
The Greyhound
The Greyhound has some lovely ales and the staff are really friendly. It's a bit of a shabby pub to walk into with old stools, a pool table and it's a bit rough round the edges - but don't judge a book by its cover.
Dino Cafe & Wine Bar
Dino Cafe & Wine Bar is a very pretty wine bar, tucked away from the rest of the city. The fairy lights and soft furnishings make for a lovely night out and the food is good.
The Steam Boat Inn
There really is nowhere better for a relaxing pint on a sunny day than Trent Lock. The Steam boat Inn is a lovely little pub with a gorgeous view and a family atmosphere. Good service.
Forest Tavern
Forest Tavern is a good old fashioned boozer right at the top of the hill leading out of town on Mansfield Road. Perhaps as well known for being a music venue, as for the wide range of beer. But it is a very good place to spend a few hours.
Stratford Haven
If you are looking for traditional pub grub look no further than the Stratford Haven. There's a good selection of beers and ales here, and the sandwiches at lunchtime are brilliant.
Sunday lunch is generally busy, but at any time of the day the Stratford just feels like a friendly buzzing local.
Slug & Lettuce
Slug & Lettuce is a very bright, very modern and pretty spacious Slug and Lettuce. It's in a good location in the Cornerhouse as you get some people popping in for a quick pre cinema drink, while others may begin the night here taking advantage of some of the offers.
It's good fun and a great meeting spot but can get a little busy.
Pitcher & Piano
I'm sure there's not many places that could get away with having a bar in a church but the Pitcher & Piano does it well. It's an easy place to find in Nottingham and the booths mean you can have a private drink or join the masses on the cheesy dancefloor.
Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem
There cannot be a more character packed pub in the city than Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem. Tucked into the caves close to Nottingham castle, this place does attract plenty of tourists.
But they do plenty of good beers and, if you explore the different floors, you can normally find a table to sit around to take in the surroundings.

“I really want to know how this list was arrived at. The only one I'd agree with is the Trip, tho there are a couple there I've not been to so can't judge. But anyway 'best' for what? Ambiance and atmosphere? Quality beer? Range of drinks? Prices? Suitability for a date, meeting friends, a group meeting, a quiet afternoon? Food? Ease of travelling to? Etc. Different answers in each case.”

“The duke of St albans should be in the top three
I can't understand how it could of been overlooked
It blinds the poxclose bob
Their was at least 30 people in there on Friday night
And there was a few cars on the car park
Which is better than having a tesco on the car park like the ockys having.”

“@Dunkirk Pie - I was about to say exactly the same thing... The Pitcher LOOKS great but, bleddy 'eck, what a miserable, over-priced, self-satisfied establishment it is. A couple of bog standard lagers cost me almost £8.50 in there earlier this month - never, repeat NEVER, again...”

“Perhaps the list is deliberately inaccurate in order to annoy people and galvanize them into making comments.
The end of the first sentence has me puzzled though, as I've no clue what verb "be bed in' comes from. I've only heard the expression 'to bed in' a pair of shoes, even that is rarely used in the passive, and the past participle of 'bed' is 'bedded'. An explanation please, Mr. White.”

“I agree. The list is exhaustive, not exclusive, comprehensive not inclusive, complete but not entire.”

“Why bother researching/writing an article when you could just pull review text together from your own site, eh, James? And they pay you for this?”

“Is this a joke? This "article" surely must be a thinly-disguised advertising promotion.
The Pitcher & Piano in particular is soul-destroying. I feel like every time I go in there a little part of me dies.”

“The Slug & Lettuce isn't even the best pub on Forman Street...”
