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.

5. Billy Bootleggers, Weekday Cross
Billy Bootleggers took over the venue from Percy Picklebackers and Filthy McNasty’s before that. Behind the blue door lies a laid back venue which often has live music and emo themed nights for anyone who wishes to relive their early noughties. | Caroline Barry

6. Nottingham Contemporary, Weekend Cross
This is an honourary mention for a great event space. The Contemporary may be an art space but they do hold excellent themed nights which are worth booking in advance and aiming for when those are on. Past events have included drag nights, film screenings and live bands | Caroline Barry

7. The Pitcher and Piano, High Pavement
When it comes to beautiful settings to have a pint in, the Nottingham venue for pub chain Pitcher and Piano has got an unusual one - an old Unitarian Church. The church has some stunning views as well as an excellent outdoor area which is perfect for nice weather. | Caroline Barry

8. The Blind Rabbit, Weekday Cross
The Blind Rabbit is technically on Weekday Cross but its such a nice addition to the area that we didn’t want to leave it out! The cocktail list is excellent but where the pub really excels with the games section upstairs. Any excuse to play air hockey over a pint and challenge each other to loser buys the next round | Caroline Barry
