The beer garden was named as one of the top 30 in the UK
A Nottingham beer garden offering “scenery and vibes” has been named as one of the best in the UK.
The Canalhouse, in Canal Street, was included by Big Travel 7 in its guide to the top 30 beer gardens in the country for summer 2025.
Big Travel 7 said: “Sitting on the banks of the River Trent in the heart of Nottingham is the Canalhouse.
“And this offers a beer garden experience like no other – think city scenery and vibes, with a gentle river flowing past you, combining the best of the country and city pubs in one.
“Not only that, but Canalhouse’s modern décor makes it a modern, trendy place to visit, and its wide selection of craft beer attracts thousands of beer enthusiasts through its doors every year.
“If a summertime pint next to the river in the city sounds like your idea of heaven, then get yourself down to the Canalhouse.”
The Canalhouse was the only pub in the Midlands to be included in the top 30.
Here’s what visitors have to say about The Canalhouse
Located in a Grade II listed former canal museum, the Canalhouse is widely regarded as one of Nottingham’s most iconic pubs.
The quaint pub is best-known for having a full-size canalboat which extends inside the building.
Boasting an impressive 4.5/5 Google rating from more than 4,000 reviews, it’s fair to say that the Canalhouse has earned a positive reputation.
A recent visitor said: “One of the unique pubs I’ve been to and it has a lot of space. With the canal built into the venue, it adds up a pleasant vibe.
“Also, a great selection of beers and the staff is friendly. Ideal to bar hop as there are a few other pubs close by.”
