  “My first visit to this very distinctive pub, and I was very impressed. It combines the historical with the modern (great aircon !) and drinks are reasonably priced. I liked the music venue upstairs, which had various places to sit and stand. Nice people too, and I really appreciated their quick response to my Messenger message asking for the bands' stage times. Highly recommended !”

  “Friendly, great selection of beers, interesting nooks andd crannys - there seemed to be so many rooms in this pub, i wanted to be nosy but friend just wanted to sit down outside... bit of a hot day; they checked my beer first before serving which i was a bit perturbed by but he said theyd just changed it so wanted to check.. it was a very nice pint.. my mate had described it as a metal bikers pub; they were playing fleetwood mac when we passed on the way to the castle and status quo and a few other tunes id not heard for a while so were singing along until the rammstein .. it was a nice to pop in (i didnt ask about the caves much to my friends upset, she'd seen them and i just wanted beer and music)”

  “Interesting place. Plenty of different drinks on offer. Music and ambiance is as expected for what it advertised itself as. Sadly some of the clientele makes this place less than appealing. Toilets are basic and used for more than they should be. Fecal ridden toilet brush in the sink and broken glass in the toilet itself. Can't comment on food as we didn't order any.”

  “VISIT DATE: TUE 28/04/2026 VISIT TIME: 17:50 - 18:55 VISIT TYPE: Social Visited by chance on Tuesday 28th April 2026, whilst on a brief visit to Nottingham. This was my first time in the city and had been walking around looking at the various buildings when my friend, who lives in the city but had never been in (he doesn’t generally go in pubs as he doesn’t drink alcohol) highlighted it as being one of the oldest pubs in Nottingham. On the outside it is clear that this is a building which has been added to and adapted over the years and the inside also reflects this, with differing floor levels. There are dark wooden beams, dark floors and window frames. The main bar is well stocked, including with local beers from Castle Rock. The bar staff are pleasant and friendly and they also do a reasonable selection of food. I enjoyed a pint of Castle Rock Pale Ale, the Hellfire Burger (nicely spicy, thanks to the finely chopped jalapeños) and a portion of sweet potato fries, whilst my friend had a soda and lime and a toasted cheese sandwich and sweet potato fries, which he was very impressed by. Sadly, didn’t get a chance to explore the caves underneath the pub, which means I will have to return at some point, but will be very happy to do so as not only do I like buildings with interesting history and character, I’m also a fan of rock music and this is a pub that very much caters to my tastes, being a bikers pub. It also has a political history which aligns with my views and is said to be where the warrant for the execution of King Charles I was signed! Obviously, as a pub, it’s free to enter and food and drinks are reasonably priced. In terms of accessibility, this isn’t the greatest (unsurprising, given the age of the building) and, unless you’re travelling by bike, there’s no parking outside, but it’s definitely a welcoming and friendly establishment and well worth a visit if you’re in the area.”

  “Great place. We stopped by for a few beers and tried the food, absolutely amazing and great value. We had the chicken tenders with American cheese and scampi and chips, great portion size. Saw others have the burger which looked nice. Great jukebox with just about every genre of music. Service was great made to feel welcome. Highly recommend it.”

  “True, this is a rock and heavy metal focused pub but we came in for drinks and had an incredible welcome. Situated on Maid Marian Way, this pub has two floors and has outdoor seating. Selling a wide range of drinks, including mead - there were reasonable prices. While we were there, there were many types of drinkers and a great atmosphere. This is a pub I would certainly come back to have a drink in and really enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks here.”

  “There is a cave with a well under this Inn that we went too with our ghost tour, it was an eary place and when we went back up and popped in at the bar they had all these never seen before beers with interesting names and their decor was just as eary and ghostly. We had some beers and just checked out all the cool decor. The beer was cold, the atmosphere was great and fun, the service was excelent and when you order a beer it comes in a glass with the beers name on it. This was a really fun place to visit and have some drinks, go on spoil yourself, go there, you deserve it!!!! Mabe you will see a ghost, wouldnt that be spectacular.”

  “Classic Pub. Billed as one of the oldest in the country. Might be, because the interior especially the snugs look right from the 1200s. Place just feels historical. Good pint, good selection of spirits. Possibly some actual spirits.”
