    In Nottingham for a gig. Tried The Dragon. Absolute gem. What I call a 'proper pub'. We tried the Guinnes and a Twist and Stout from a local brewery. Two excellent pints. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Pop in if you like a good pint! Loved that they have cheese and onion cobs on the bar. If only we hadn't just been for dinner!

    Nice pub in the centre of Nottingham, often overlooked but a nice place to while away a couple of hours. We sat in the beer garden at the back, which is quirky rather than picturesque.

    Lovely city centre pub with a large scaletrix set up. You can hire this room out. Unfortunately on my visit the barman didn’t have a key for the room as I did ask if I could have a look! Barman was very friendly though. Four ales on along with the usual selection. Lovely upstairs outside seating area which really makes it in my opinion. Recommended 🍻🏎️

    Any pub with a scalextric track inside it cannot be that bad. Plus it sells proper old school cobs cheese and onion ham and tomato what more do you want out of life..

    Pineapples everywhere. This is a deceptive pub that looks small but goes back a long way. Great atmosphere and good pit stop.

    Lovely narrow bar. The outside feature is brilliant with flowers around, sheltered from the rain and have heating lamps on each table if you feeling a bit chilly. Selection is wide and have a few range of single malt whisky but at a price, 35ml though....

    Great little pub, plenty of seating and a nice beer garden. Lovely staff, great drinks selection - a reliable stop off before a gig or catching up with friends.

    It is a really good place to socialise and chill, The service is friendly/pleasant every time I visit the pub. Not sure on the food to be honest as I've never ordered anything each visit, could be good?? Overall very good place to get together.

  • 5/5 Sophie the I. 11 months ago on Google
    Great little secret pub with a beautiful garden, eclectic tunes and great decor. Really nice vibe - very glad we randomly wandered in.

    The Dragon is the coolest place in Nottingham... if you like quirky bars this one is the one... Great selection of Beers and a great DJ who plays me the " Go Betweens " on vinyl... if you ask him nicely 😉class.....

    Great pub in the centre of town. Dark and cosy areas mixed with bright outside seating. A good choice of draught beers with a selection of bottles. Great staff. Looking forward to the return of the DJ at weekends.

  • 3/5 rob s. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, food was tasty but dry, crispy around edges like it had been kept warm for a some time. Vegetables were nice and fresh though.

  • 5/5 Maxine W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely little pub with an amazing outdoor area. Super clean, friendly staff and great prices

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the nicest pubs around the Market Square. Really friendly staff, decent range of drinks. It's fairly small, although it does have an outside area at the back for warmer days. Can be busy Friday/Saturday night, but even so we managed to get a table. Just a good, no-frills pub in the city centre, which is quite a rare fine. Feels safe here too.

  • 5/5 DM C. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a pub called The Dragon - instant win! This pub remains one of the best in the city, lovely traditional pub, great seating out the rear, inside it's a bit of a narrow pub so long seats against the walls, with stools the other side of each table, up near the bar, but large open area as you walk in the front door - as used to be a coach house... - it's a busy place too, but fast friendly service...

  • 5/5 Samuel C. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and well priced drinks. Nice seating arrangement in the smoking area too

  • 5/5 debbie m. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best pubs in notts .A touch more pricey than others but the atmosphere and the quaint outside seating area more than make up for it , and if you are of a certain age the d j bangs out some excellent indie and 80's tunes .Well worth a visit

  • 4/5 Andy 1 year ago on Google
    First time here. During the Christmas period so was extremely busy but had a great beer. Outside area to drink which was nice. But a narrow bar so when busy a bit of a squeeze getting through.

    Awesome atmosphere, great drinks and lovely people.

  • 5/5 Laura 1 year ago on Google

    Wonderful place diddn't have to queue that much ok if you like a cigarette aswell unlike the other pubs I went into where the bar staff ask "who's next"instead of serving the person who has been waiting a while because ignorant knob heads push in 👍👍👍👍👍👍

👍👍 Absolutely amazing! I went to have lunch on my graduation day with my friends. Food was very flavourful and cocktails were nice. Special dietary options are available and you always get 2-4-1 cocktails. Service was really friendly and approachable. Ambience and music is just cherry on top.
