Update- another great lunch had here, with a selection of different meals. Really tastey food and of course always a great selection of beers. I will be back. Old-Lovely spot, walked in for some food and stayed for a few pints. For the price and the setting it's def worth it, I will definetely be back. They had the rugby on, but it was not noisey and its definetely not a sports bar. The food was great with some nice vegterian options.

I'm really glad the Kilpin changed their MO from cask pub to European Beer Café. It's really nice to be able to get decent a variety of Belgian bottles from somewhere in Nottingham. Also at the time of visiting, they had La Chouffe, Zot and Saison Dupont on tap too which is not a common sight. Really nice atmosphere, great staff and they're starting to do a few events now which is great. They often play sports (including cycling!) on a big projector downstairs and still manage to keep a nice relaxed atmosphere.

This is one of mine and my girlfriends favourite places to go, she loves the fruit beers on draft which arent available many places else and the food is unreal! the currywurst loaded fries is our go to and the high quality produce on the deli platter is amazing. The staff are so lovely and we always feel welcomed, would recommend this place to anyone who loves great food and great beer!

A nice pub that sells a variety of drinks. I'm don't drink alcohol but they also had a nice range of non alcoholic and alcohol free drinks. My friends who do drink were impressed with the range here. You can hire the top floor for parties and events.

Late to the party to this bar. New favourite. They serve Zot on draft. What is not to like?

Nice pub, hidden away down a quiet alley, good music, extensive beer collection although it leans very heavily toward Belgian styles.

Shocking service. Staff behaviour appalling. The only pub in my home town that I will definitely not be visiting again!

A very lucky find , excellent choice of beers on tap and bottles. Food, staff and venue above and beyond expectations can't recommend enough well worth a trip to Nottingham.

The food is excellent here, perfect to have for lunch or as a light snack with drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is friendly.

My favourite pub on earth. Best Belgian beers on offer in a quiet location, bit on the pricey side but a nice treat. Will definitely be back for a pint of La Chouffe, my latest favourite Belgian beer!

Eclectic multi level Belgian style brown bar in a little ginnel beside the ibis hotel well worth finding for it's great range of ales and continental beers.

The best hidden gem of a pub in Nottingham, amazing range of beers and great service. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable.

I can't give service a 5* cos it's a one-delivery experience but the food was Michelin. We had small plates including the: - curried lamb which was balanced and not over-cumined - the crab on a god damn oversized blini which, for a landlocked town, was superb and did not taste retrieved from the Trent - duck croquettes - finally someone who understands that croquettes are too strong for ham, bacon or (Ganesh forbid) veggie options. You need something strong and these are perfect We're moving up in the next couple months; if the chef is still here, he's the owner; if he's not, I'll understand why. Beers good too X

Fantastic place hidden down a side street. The best selection of European drinks I seen in ages.

Top tier in beer selection. Usually plenty of room, with outdoor option if it’s nice out. Tucked away so usually just has ppl who know how to find it. Great staff.

Amazing selection of Belgian and German beers, food menu looked great

Had a lovely lunch here last Sunday. Food was excellent, service was brilliant, our server was so welcoming and helpful. She recommended we visit Black Iris Brewery which we did. Compliments to the chef here, as that lunch was the best we've had for a long time. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommended!

I came for a Sunday roast today and was left feeling still hungry, underwhelmed and overall feeling like I should have gone and spent my money somewhere else. The service was poor and not very social or friendly, I also waited over half an hour for my food that had clearly been microwaved and came out before we got cutlery. The portion of food was tiny for how much it cost and even though it did taste nice I was unsatisfied and felt like I'd been ripped off. As well as also being charged £2.50 for a soda water... It's a shame because the location and building are really beautiful

Friendly welcome, excellent choice of beers of all kinds, food was delicious and delivered quickly. The place is dog friendly too. We visited on a relatively quiet lunchtime but there was a nice atmosphere. The layout is conducive to a good eating and drinking experience.

Superb pub with an excellent selection of beers (Belgian and German particularly) and it shows the football which is a rare combination.

Excellent bar, nooks and crannies for seating, private convo, quiet laptop working, belgian and german beers selection wonderful, they do burgers which were reasonably priced and tasty, WiFi decent, ambience decor and overall vibe lovely on first floor area, clean, great place for daytime and evening drinks 👍

Nice beer and a nice environment, although not as good when popular sports are on (like football). The outside joining area to Junkyard is good too, especially if you're not a beet drinker

Great staff and nice beers but it was so cold in there last night, I don’t think I’ll be back until the spring. Back door wide open so kept asking for it to be shut, couldn’t enjoy it as absolutely freezing. A shame as I do love this pub!

Really good bar. Not too far from the center. Has plenty of real ales at a reasonable price and some hard to find Euro beers on tap.

Really friendly atmosphere. Love it here. We always sit in the front garden but the upstairs has little nooks that look cozy and the garden is beautiful

After just one visit (and numerous since) this place has quickly become my favourite ale house in Nottingham; for fans of Belgian beer, you absolutely can't go wrong - they always have Zot, Leffe and Delirium on tap, amongst countless other guest beers. Add to this the beautiful decor, easygoing atmosphere and pleasant beer garden, and it's easy to see why the Kilpin has become a must-visit if you're in the city (if you can ignore the cries of anguish from your liver for an hour or two). EDIT: It's La Chouffe on tap, not Leffe!

⅔ beers next door at pint prices, manageress in green vinyl skirt very offended about constructive criticism even though never spoken to her... £4.40 quite reasonable until she asked me to leave mid-way through, only a pub(s) for the conformists it seems... Edit: It seems I hit a nerve with the amateur bartender (manageress?), my dimple comments were light hearted compliments as I have them myself, I fear there must be an oversensitive policy here as I certainly didn't do anything to deliberately offend any staff members. I will always call out ⅔ beers at pint prices as seems to becoming a trend in some establishments...

The most relaxing atmosphere and bar around Nice and friendly staff fantastic range of beers just spoilt for choice.

Fantastic range of Belgium and German beers. Lovely food, quick service and friendly staff. What is there not to like?!

A fantastic place. Great range of beers and excellent food. Staff are very knowledgeable about the various beers and are very good. Cannot recommend enough.

The best place. Warm people, lovely interior, fantastic range of European beers, including iconic Belgian beers on draft. Nottingham is a better city by its mere existence. Veni vidi vici Kilpin!

A hidden gem of a place, nice and cosy inside. The staff make you feel welcome and there is plenty of choices of drink for all. Seating inside and out with an upstairs room which can be hired. A cute cafe I really like.

Great interior (exposed brickwork, original beams, vintage posters) with a wide selection of beers at standard pricing. Staff were personable on both visits - good music and decor with some books scattered around upstairs. Recommend in particular for a quiet midday drink and a good read. Many thanks for a nice evening guys :)
