Nottingham Pub Crawls
Pub Crawls – Welcome to Nottingham & the Surrounding Area
What makes a good pub crawl is very much a moot point. For some it is the beer, for others the buildings and for many it is the company. Whatever makes your ideal pub crawl, the Nottingham area has a broad range of public houses which welcome considerate pub goers.
Nottingham CAMRA campaigns to encourage pub-goers to visit a range of different pubs within our branch area.
In the Pub Walks section below are some logical routes around the City and the surrounding area. These don’t try to be about “good” pubs or “good” beer but they are about what you will find en-route.
Following these suggested routes will give you the opportunity to pop into pubs you might not normally visit.
For example, Walk 1 takes the traveller from the Railway Station to Nottingham Castle past some dozen or so pubs. Of those 12 there will be something to suit most tastes, both in beer and atmosphere. For each pub there is a link to more information on CAMRA’s national pub-finder website, “Whatpub”. We are not suggesting that all 12 should be visited in one session!
Updated October 2021.
You can download a map to help guide you round the pubs in the city centre if you wish to pick and choose. This is by no means the full list of Nottingham pubs. Please visit CAMRA’s pub database at WhatPub.com for up to date details on all pubs

Beer by Tram
Nottingham is proud of its tram network. Even before the system was carrying passengers, the operator Nottingham Express Transit (NET) was working with Nottingham CAMRA by sponsoring the Robin Hood Beer & Cider Festival at the Victoria Leisure Centre in Sneinton Market. Festival beers and ciders were found at bar locations identified by tram-stop names.
NET, in conjunction with Nottingham CAMRA, has produced several editions of the “Beer by Tram Guide”, the most recent dated 2017. A great way to view the City from a slightly different perspective whilst enjoying a beer or two en route.

Beer by Bus
Nottingham has an extensive local bus network operated by Nottingham City Transport (NCT) which gives unparalleled access to the City’s pubs, particularly in the suburbs and out-of-the-way places.
NCT has its origins in the Nottingham & District Tramways Company, which introduced the first horse drawn tram cars to Nottingham, with the first two routes from St Peter’s Square to Trent Bridge and Station Street. 140 years later, Nottingham City Transport has 50 routes and provides an award winning service to the people of Nottingham and recently introduced the world’s largest fleet of Bio-Gas double- deckers.
Working in conjunction with Nottingham CAMRA, NCT produced a Beer by Bus Guide in 2015. This guide is available as a pdf below:
