Great range of beers, poured well and with a smile, and a half hearted American "enjoy". Range larger than castle rock. And proper beers not that awful lager stuff. Does food and proper bar snacks such as sausage rolls etc but didn't partake. Good price per pint
The pub seems to be a pub where time has stopped. The interior resembles premises from the last millennium. The plus points of this place include the young people serving at the bar. They are really keen on the job. Other plus points are selection of beers, ales and others.
And of course location. It's a short distance walk from train station.
Great pub I come here nearly every Sunday. Can’t fault the place great beer, fantastic chip cob and very nice staff!
Superb Castle Rock Brewery pub in Nottingham City. 5' minutes walk from main railway station. As an 'away' football fan, have only visited when my team are playing against Forest at The City Ground. Always welcomed by home fans; no rivalry or aggression. Absolutely stunning, superb selection of both Castle Rock & guest beers. + lagers & a good whisky selection!
Only sampled food on football matchdays, but if this is an example of normal fayre, then can highly recommend it. Nothing fancy or ponsy! Just basic meals, toasties, chip butties, sausage butties, beef or veggie chilly for example.
Staff extremely busy on matchdays so PLEASE be patient with them! They all do a fantastic job. Castle Rock Brewery attached to pub & Brewery tours can be booked.
A fantastic pub
Visited Saturday 15th July 2023 late afternoon.
Been meaning to visit for a while, just never got around to it. Location is ideal if you're around the train station as it's literally across the road.
Castle Rocks tap house so obviously has a full range of CR beers; however, as with all CR pubs there's also a great range of guest cask and keg beers alongside a fridge full of craft beer cans and bottles, obviously there's also lager, wine, spirits, soft drinks etc.
We ended up eating the loaded fries while we were there, a portion of buffalo and a portion of hamburger, both of which were delicious and reasonable value.
Staff were friendly and approachable, the place had a nice atmosphere.
The pub itself is a proper old school pub, hard floors throughout and traditional decor with seating out front and a large yard out back.
Definitely worth a visit.
Staff are always friendly and lovely to chat to. Service is quick and prices are reasonable, with a great range of pints available. Food is lovely - my partner and I had a great time eating from the special Burn's night menu. The comedy night we went to (my first experience of one) was also fantastic and inspired us to visit more in the future. It is clear the management care about curating fun and varied events for their customers. The sense of community within the pub, the music, the decor, and the location (near the train station) makes the atmosphere pleasant and encourages you to become a regular.
An ideal pub, even when I visited early in the day. The barman took me through their excellent range of beers. The snack of toasted cheese with their own chutney was terrific.
Great pub with great selection of beers and great staff. Food is pretty good, crisp selection is wide, and the outdoor seating is lovely in the sunshine too.
Great boozer not too far from Nottingham Train Station, great as a place to stop while waiting for that train home.
Top taphouse pub; the brewery is connected to the building itself. There's a broad selection of real ales, again, some brewed next door.
I visited on this occasion for a tour of the brewery with an opportunity to pull, and drink, a pint of their beer.

Return visit, October 2022: Still the good real ale pub that I first visited in the mid 2010s. Castle Rock beers from the well (the brewery is right next door), and at moderate prices. How much you'll gravitate towards Castle Rock's ales is another question, but there's always a wide variety available and they are all certainly the freshest here that they can be. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. I don't remember the covered outside seating from my previous visits, and it's certainly nice to relax out there on a mild autumn evening. Certainly a nicer place to hang out than the sparsely decorated, "colder" BeerhHeadZ right AT Nottingham Station, also far less expensive.
