Roundhouse, Nottinghamback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Next stop on our crawl of Nottingham was the Roundhouse. The building is quite a unique shape (round!) and the bar is upstairs from the entrance. Toilets are at street level near the entrance. It looked a little upmarket at first glance. But the welcome was warm and despite a warning from the bar staff, they tolerated our group which was starting to become a little rowdy! Ales were Lenton Lane The Roundhouse, Springhead Outlawed, Blind Tiger & Drop O' The Black Stuff, Home Ales Robin Hood Pale Ale & Tollgate Hackney Blonde. Don't forget your CAMRA discount (if you're a member). Many pubs in Nottingham offer it.

Good selection of beers, both cask and keg. Prices not too bad. Friendly staff. Measures need to be watched, with top-ups asked for for many of the beers ordered.

You really are spoilt for choice. Stumbled on by chance, but was intrigued by the inscription saying that this was the place that Charles I asked "Nottingham, are you with me?".
Went inside and spotted my favourite - TT Landlord. Superb, in ceremonial glass. The fact that the had scratching presented in a little bowl, just added to things.

A touch expensive at £3.40 a pint! Interesting building with it being as it says on the can - it is a round building. What made the visit more convivial was the young Becky behind the bar. Lovely genuine minx who took the time to chat. She explained that the building was once the city's hospital.
As regards the ale it was average, and nothing to go mad over.

Mallard brewery on occasionally here worth the trip just for that.

Sister pub to the Hand and Heart, this is a great pub with several Real Ales and excellent menu. one to take the wife or mother but also good for a stop off on a pub crawl around the Castle area.
