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 spotplaceholder image

High Pavement pub crawl: How to take one of Nottingham’s best pub crawls

For anyone looking to find a new favourite local pub or a beautifully decorated spot for a cocktail, we’ve mapped out our go to city centre pub crawl to get you started

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.
