8 Peeper-Pleasing Pubs in Nottingham

17 October 18

While Nottingham seems to have a fascination with watering holes that are either underground, hidden down an alleyway or require the navigation of some kind of labyrinth of deception to enter, it’s nice to occasionally park your behind in your bog-standard boozer and admire the world around you. We’ve jotted down some noteworthy places in the city centre that have either great surrounding scenery, or wicked architecture that you can enjoy while drinking your pint…
