I arranged to meet a large family group last month at Slim Jim's. The barman couldn't have been…read moremore helpful and accommodating and he helped us re-arrange some tables and chairs so we could all be seated together. The atmosphere is lively and upbeat with a jukebox, several TV's all showing different channels and a real mixture of people in the place (Our group consisted of some old fuddy duddies like me and some well behaved kids!). The pool tables are in excellent condition and after we finished with ours, the guy behind the bar came out and cleaned it, I don't think I've ever seen that happen anywhere else! There are some other activities that we did't get time to try like Snooker and Darts and there are also some quiz machines and even Jenga if that appeals to you. We found the prices to be reasonable and managed to get a pool table for the entire evening for around £16. Slim Jims caters for a mixture of modern and old world tastes and I'll make sure I visit again next time I'm in the UK!

Came in for a last resort quick lunch…read more(with a negative mindset having been told both the Skybar and High Line weren't open despite their websites saying they were from 12!!!) and was pleasantly surprised. Not a huge amount of choice on food but the roast veg and halloumi salad was delicious and good value (£8.45 with a soft drink). It was quiet so the service was fast. The barman was a bit of a misery arse but otherwise fine. The selection of alcohol behind the bar made my eyes light up, although I was unable to take part. Loads of craft beers and spirits, and a decent gin selection. I'll come back here next time we come shopping to Resorts World or a gig at the NEC...

I'm a big fan of Riley's, if you want a good game of snooker or pool in nottingham then it's really…read morethe only place to go. They are open to ridiculous hours on some days, 6am or something, the tables are pretty good here and it's not too expensive, there are a ton of offers for this place though, you tend to get them in freshers week. A tip for the non freshers is definitely to pop along to freshers fair in second and third year just to grab some of the offers there! The food here is ok, an important thing to remember is you can add on extra burgers for £1 which is definitely worth doing seeing as a burger and chips costs £5 or so. They have a bar here as well, so you can pretty much stay here fed and watered for as long as you like, they offer an option to buy a table for a day which can save money if you don't have much to do and get a few mates in!

Its scenic location, the inviting old building, and the cozy, dark wood interior make this a top recommendation for locals and visitors alike.

Because it is so popular, it can get quite busy on a weekend.

Just watch if you go the blue cheese burger... it really is *very* blue cheese. I can still taste it over a month later!

What town doesn't have a Walkabout in it these days??! And thankfully Nottingham is no exception…read more The formula stays the same in this one as in any other I have visited - good long bar, one huge screen, plus a dozen or so smaller screens scattered around for those sporting events you want to catch. There is also an upstairs area at this one, but this tends to only open when the place is very busy, so not regularly opened up as the downstairs is normally big enough to cope with demand. There is also the chance to get a few reasonably priced drinks in this bar too compared with others in Nottingham. Certain days and times have offers on, but even without them I would say drinks are fairly priced. If you come here for the night then it tends to be a place where quite a few people choose to end up. Music is never going to rival the clubs of Ibiza, but once you have had a few beers then singing along to the old favourites will be just perfect.

The gratuity popped up on the screen when paying by card and did not clearly state that it was %, so my £10 tip from myself ended up being 10% of the entire tables bill, £44.76, on top of everyone elses tip, so BEWARE when tipping. Also, I don't know how the till works but I have a few items that do not calculate correctly, for example 3 portions of onion rings came to £17.68, this does not divide by 3?!? It was only 1p more expensive but how is it possible for the till to calculate incorrectly and does it do it often? Is this even legal?
