Junkyard

Great once we got inside. Initially , met initially with an indignant barman who I felt told me off for entering an open door with an opening time on it which meant we could go in. Told quite sharply when I queried it they haven't opened at 11:30 since COVID. (I'm not a regular daytime drinker) No apology, just a defensive attitude. Just note I was with my wife and two kids, looking forward to celebrating my birthday with food and good beer. Felt like not coming back, but it is a great pub and the food is really nice. So I did come back and had great beer and food served by another very friendly barman.

Really impressed with the attentive service - a member of the bar could see something wasn’t right with our order, and without hesitation came over to rectify it straight away! Brilliant service! Would definitely visit again, couldn’t fault the staff, service or drinks at all! Great night, thank you :)!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
