Coach & Horses

Walk up Upper Parliament Street and you'll find yourself in one of Nottingham's best pub crawl stretches, but the Coach & Horses deserves more than just a passing pint. This is the kind of place locals actually return to—not for gimmicks, but because it gets the basics right. The atmosphere feels lived-in without being scruffy, and you'll see everyone from students to regulars propping up the bar on any given evening. It's the sort of pub that remembers who you are after a few visits, where conversation flows easily and the staff actually give a damn about what they're pouring.
