Nottingham has lots of pubs, bars and clubs dotted across the city which can make it really hard to choose where to go. However, there are some areas that are emerging as great pub crawls such as Sneinton Market and Mansfield Road into Sherwood.
You don’t need to go too far to try one of our favourites, the High to Middle Pavement pub crawl which encompasses Brass Monkey, The Wine Room, Pitcher and Piano along with a special mention for Nottingham Contemporary who do incredible live events on occasion.
While we tried to keep it to High Pavement only, we couldn’t resist a cheeky mention of Magic Garden and some on Weekday Cross too. After all, it’s technically only a few steps away right?
Here are our favourites on the well beaten track that is one of the city’s most popular pub and restaurant areas.

1. The Cock and Hoop pub on High Pavement
We start our pub crawl with a stop off, especially in the summer, at the Cock and Hoop outdoor beer spot. The beautifully decorated pub is steeped in history and is grade II listed but, it still pulls a decent pint to this day. The little outdoor nook is perfect for people watching as the world goes past you. Also, the pints are very reasonably priced for a city centre spot | Caroline Barry
2. The Brass Monkey on High Pavement
The Brass Monkey is known for excellent cocktails which makes it a great post-work-pick-me-up spot. We’ve been known to partake in a ‘Floradora’ cocktail from time to time as its beautifully simple, mouthwatering mix of gin, raspberry, ginger ale and lime. All cocktails are £8 each with occasional special prices for things like national daiquiri | Caroline Barry
3. We are never ones to turn down excellent wine on a pub crawl. The Wine Room also offers an excellent bottomless brunch options too where you can pick up small plates. The staff know their wines so if you get stuck, you can ask for a recommendation and they will make sure you find the best option

4. Pizzamisu on High Pavement
We like to encourage responsible drinking.....and excellent pizza consumption. While Pizzamisu is not a pub or a bar, it does do Italian cocktails and aperitivo it is one of the best places in Nottingham for a slice or two which you may need from a soakage point of view. Especially if you have made it this far into your quest to complete the pub crawl. It’s the closest you can get to a slice of Naples in Notts and a quick stop means you can continue on your tour. | Caroline Barry
