A night out in Nottingham in the ‘90s was guaranteed to involve one of these pubs

From Euro ‘96 to Blur v Oasis in the Battle of Britpop, the decade produced some truly iconic moments in British culture.

In a time before smartphones and social media, you can’t help but think that the ‘90s were simpler times.

It’s also fair to say that those who enjoyed their youth in the ‘90s spent many an hour in pubs.

Nottingham’s pub scene in the ‘90s was even better than it is now, with hundreds of the city’s watering holes having closed over the past 26 years.
