Where to drink in Nottingham
Nottingham drinks in the shadow of a legend: Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, built into the sandstone caves beneath the castle, claims a founding date of 1189 and a strong case as England's oldest inn. It isn't alone — the city sits on a warren of man-made caves, and several pubs still keep cellars cut straight into the rock.
The modern scene is anchored by Castle Rock Brewery, whose Vat & Fiddle tap sits beside the station and pours the award-winning Harvest Pale alongside a changing cask line-up. In the Lace Market and around Old Market Square you'll find everything from Victorian boozers to the Malt Cross, a restored music hall café bar on St James's Street.
Bookable beer tours are thin on the ground here at present, so Nottingham rewards exploring on foot — few English cities pack so many historic pubs into such a walkable centre.
