The best small plates in Nottingham. Quite a bold statement considering the competition in Nottingham, but right now (September 2022) there's nowhere I'd rather go. They have just got a new chef and they have really elevated the menu. The courgette with whipped feta, warm honey and pine nuts is amazing. I had it two days in a row. Also highly recommended: crab crumpet, tempura cod tortilla and the halloumi. I've been coming to Junkyard since it opened and love the place. 10 - 12 craft beers always on and always 3 or 4 of them you'll get nowhere else or ever see again. Crazy 12% marshmallow imperial stout, fruited gose and everything in between. The staff here are really friendly, service is fast and there's always a great atmosphere. Junkyard shares its lovely covered outside space with the Kilpin which has a great range of European beers on draft and in bottles. A visit here could easily see you try more beer styles than most beer festivals! (Burgers are pretty good, but not as good as the small plates)

Visit was Pre-COVID. This place was highly recommended by the barman at the Barley Twist. It didn't disappoint. Everything was spot on. The beer selection, the friendly staff and the clean toilets. We spent just over 2 hours here relaxing and me sampling all the great craft beers. Sam enjoyed her Gin & tonics. Highly recommend and on the to list when back in Nottingham.

Food is great. Chips are excellent! This pub welcomes dogs 🐶

Absolutely awesome craft beer bar, a must visit if you like craft. Huge range of keg beer, seriously impressive. A superb selection of cans and bottles is available to take out including limited releases and fairly hard to find beers. Nice, fairly basic but clean bright and modern decor with a small but perfectly fine outside area. The food is also really good we had pizza, mac & cheese balls and halloumi fries, it was all well made and good quality. Friendly staff who are genuinely helpful, kind of tucked away but well worth a visit.

Update: stopped for a quick bite and a beer. We had 3 starters, the lamb kofta, artichoke and halloumi. All were delicious and what trio of food, I recommend trying all three together. I have upped the star rating to 5 now, as the food was delicious and the staff were great. Previous review: Nice spot. We had lovely vegetarian food, and there was a nice looking meaty options to. Always a great selection of beers, so plan plenty of time to try them all. I would definetely come back here.

Always the place to go for a beer or two when in Nottingham. Great choice of craft beer from around the world, decent bar food and a great atmosphere.

An interesting and tucked away hidden gem in the centre of Nottingham, in the Lace Market serving beers of the craft type and wines too. The interior is quite quirky, cool pictures on the wall, a drinks tray made from a skateboard deck. There is plenty of seating (important for me, since I have reached the age when I only go out if I can sit down) and I think I saw a separate room as well.

I had been told about junkyards new food by many people saying how good it is - WOW! they were not wrong. 'Good' is simply an understatement. I was so excited by the menu, every dish is outstanding in their own right, however they also go together perfectly if you are with a big group and wanting to share. We ended up ordering the fennel twice, it was seriously that good! You can tell whoever is behind the menu has put some serious thought and care into it. GO THERE AND EAT !!! (They also do an amazing variety of beer)

Visited on a Friday evening for beers and small plates. Fantastic range of beers, ales, IPAs (of course) but the quality of the food was what made me write this review. Creative, tasty and with a wide selection of fresh ingredients we absolutely enjoyed every dish we ordered. Fun atmosphere with a young crowd and the staff were very friendly and efficient.

Junkyard and Kilpins share the front courtyard and rear seating area, but are totally different bars. Junkyard is a craft beers bar whilst Kilpins is a more traditional pub selling cask beers plus an excellent selection of continental beers. The food choice is small plate, tapas style and burgers. Well worth a visit to both.

Wonderful selection to choose from and friendly staff too. Highly recommend as there is something for everyone. Get a seat if you can !! Layout could be better

Haven't been for a long time. Just popped in during a shopping visit to the city centre. Still just as good as we remembered. Plenty on choices of beer on tap and also to take away. We sat outside as we had our grandchildren with us, and we bought them soft drinks. Whilst there others were ordering food that looked very nice. The team were very friendly and helpful 👍 We must go again, this time much sooner. Would recommend to all.

Popped in on accident, on the way to a different event. The place was packed, so clearly popular. Selection of food is limited but enough for everyone to find something they could eat. Mainly burgers, fish fingers sandwiched and that kind of pub food. Service was friendly. More sitting area upstairs of the place looks busy at first glance.

This place has become one of my regulars. The selection of beers on offer is always intriguing and the staff are all wonderful. However, the food is sublime here. The menu does pub food well with a menu that changes each month and lots of interesting small plates. The fried chicken with pickle mayo is to die for!!!!

Great beer today. A welcoming place, lovely staff. It's so good to see them open again.

World class beer selection. The food was very high quality and was thoroughly enjoyed. Staff knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Very good little pub. The 2 ladies that were running were very friendly, helpful & informative. The little courtyard was a sun trap at midday. A good selection of kegs beers (15 taps).

Hidden gem tucked down a long alleyway. Great selection of drinks and a nice atmosphere.

Love it in here great choice of beers good bar snacks lovely staff. Nice and out of the way

Good selection of constantly changing craft beers. Very nice, but pricey.

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.

Great small bar. Down an alley way so a little tricky to locate. Nice selection of real ales on tap. Nice layout to the seating .

Cool hidden gem in small corner. Nice friendly staff. Busy but great place with cool atmosphere. Offering food too as well as variety of drinks. Lovely bar, beer garden, indoor outdoor seating, what else u need. Just order a pint of beer n enjoy
