The selection of beers here is usually pretty good, often with more than one from the Nottingham Brewery, and generally in good condition. The atmosphere is better than most Wetherspoons and all in all it’s much more pleasant than the Joseph Else on the Old Market Square.

This is the most stylish JDW I’ve come across to date. The location is good, the atmosphere is pleasant, and there is a good selection of predominantly local ales. I wish all JDWs were like this.

A JD Wetherspoon that is very conveniently located, right by The Bell and the town’s main square. Obviously the whole decorum is a bit bland, but the beer selection is quite respectable, with 4 beers from Nottingham brewery on and 2 other cask ales. Very large place and quite clean with a dynamic and proactive staff when I was there.

Visited here just before Christmas 2006 in the company of haddonsman and a friend of mine who was over on a visit from the USA. We went for the draft Belgian beer which I think must have been one of the De Konincks you see in Spoons outlets from time to time. Pretty ambient compared to most of the Wetherspoons I’ve been to so it’s worth a look in if you’re in town.

Tardis-like Wetherspoons just off the Old Market Square and round the corner from the Bell. Decent cask range, always seems to be a Nottingham Brewery beer on, local and regional brewers well featured. Lots of rooms at angles so doesn’t feel like some of the more shed-like Spoons. Upstairs terrace for smoking which may survive the ban. A handy calling point on a Nottingham crawl if you want decent beer (albeit cold) and hot food (albeit plain).
