The New Foresters

You'll find The New Foresters tucked away on St Ann's Street, just the sort of place locals actually want to spend time in rather than somewhere you've been dragged to by Instagram. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feeling—the kind of bar where regulars prop up the counter and staff actually know what they're talking about when it comes to the pints they're pulling. The real ale selection is solid, and the food hits the mark without trying too hard. It's one of those spots that proves Nottingham's city centre still has pubs with proper character, not just chains and gastropubs trying too hard.
