Old Volunteer, Carlton

They have some great bands on Friday nights,sometimes a bit too loud for such a small place.Tends to be the same crowd in when I use it,a friendly,all ages group.Beers ok,nothing special.

The Plainsman, Mapperley

Since being vastly renovated few years ago,& since the demise of the Local Mapperley,ne Porchester,this pub has changed from locals local,& now attracts the weekend crowd.Can be extremely busy Friday & Sat nights-20mins wait at the bar is not unknown & not worth it.Bouncers on the door weekends,keeps the trouble down.Beer not memorable,live music when I last visited,with Sky sports playing above bands heads! Within a few metres of Bread & Bitter (great beer) & Wetherspoons,so you can always escape.Much quieter in the week,always attract the older folk.
