Bunkers Hill in Nottingham

We had a veterans reunion here. We hired the private room upstairs and booked a buffet. Room was shabby and could do with a good coat of paint. Toilets unclean and needed a good hoovering. We managed to make it presentable by purchasing garden lights. Positives- private bar and our barman - Jamie - fab Negatives - the buffet was awful. Apparently the lady making the buffet went sick at the last moment. The manager did offer us pizzas but our guests preferred the money to go behind the bar. Positives - free bar lasted a lot longer.

We had a reunion there, the upper room was booked, unfortunately the food was really disappointing, the usual person had called in sick, and the alternative had not catered before. I'm sure this was a one off, but someone more capable should have taken charge or at least overseen the prep. Apart from that the atmosphere was great.

Great place. Brilliant location for me as I work across the road 😁 but also perfect for the arena. Great beers, friendly staff and the food I've had there was really nice. Oh, also has the best big screen in the city!

Really nice pub bar man was amazing helped me out a lot 💪🏼

Comfortable place to watch EURO 2024

Always visit here when in Nottingham Staff great Beer offerings 9 times out 10 very good !

Nice with friends for a party, but wouldn't go in just for a drink.

Not a bad pub , could do with a few changes to make it better though. Like decent toilets.

Bomba is some of the best food you can get and the quiz on Wednesday is always a great time. Beer selection is always on point and the staff treat you well there

I don't know what's in venom, but it definitely poisoned me. 10/10

Really friendly staff. Relaxed friendly atmosphere. Amazing Italian street food. I hadn't been in years and it's nice to see the place still has the same vibe it has always had. Kind of a traditionally pub without feeling old fashioned.

Comfy, welcoming and decent beer. I should visit more!

Great for beers, sports and does a small bar food menu. You have to try the deep fried calzone. No seriously, it's naughty, filthy and delicious.

Come here for drinks when in Nottingham. Great selection of both cask and craft beers, alongside lagers, wines and spirits. Usually go from Thornbridge Green Mountain or if I'm in the mood Sneidderweise. Often has sport on the big screens and events upstairs in the function room. My one criticism would be that the bathrooms need updating, I.e. gutting and replacing as they are pretty rank.

The pub has... Very high ceilings. Besides that it's an average pub, 2 or 3 real ales on and two cask ciders, Lilly's, both fruit flavoured. Serves as the local tap for the Panther's ice hockey team (I think)

Always a good selection of beers available

Just been there for a drink as it was a hot day and ended up spending more time because they have very nice craft beers. Tried whatever I cloud without being drunk 😅. Nice cosy place, big room, live music with good service. Outdoor seating available.

Is a good pub, nothing particularly special to make it stand out.

Excellent choice of beers cask and keykeg. Would mark it higher but the toilets are disgusting. I am guessing there isn't a manager in there, just students working behind the bar as I've never seen anyone twice and we have visited at least once a month for the past year.

Nice vibe and great atmosphere. Had a fantastic range of alcohol free beers! Excellent for dry Jan

It's got the makings for a good pub and the atmosphere is good. Unfortunately they had a party the night before so there was no Rose left but we managed to get an alternative. The toilets were an absolute disgrace. One urinal all taped up ,urine all over the floor, toilet brush was covered excrement. One of my guests was not impressed and we left after one drink.

Rude staff! We were sat inside the bar on a December evening, the smoking area door was left open, despite a sign on it saying it's cold, please keep the door closed, so we closed the door. My husband was approached by a very arrogant man from the smoking area who was angry we'd shut the door. We explained we would open it when they wanted to come in and pointed out the sign. The girl he was with ripped the sign off the door, and when the man came in he approached us and aggressively said that he'd recommend not shutting the bar staff out of their own bar. He then went and sat at the end of the bar drinking, so obviously wasn't on shift at the time. I don't expect to be spoken to in the manner this man spoke to me and my husband by anyone, much less by someone very keen to tell us he's a member of staff at the bar. It's a real shame because the lady who served us was lovely, but we won't be coming back again.

Friendly enough place. Called in after a gig at Motorpoint. Served fairly quickly despite only one serving. Unable to climb stairs so used disabled toilet facilities. My God what a shock! Dirty beyond belief. Sink was filthy & toilet hadn't had a good clean in weeks! I don't know who is responsible for this but they should know that toilets should be cleaned inside and out. Dirty ingrained Urine stains down the toilet front, floor desperately needed a good clean. Sorry to say I would avoid in the future.

Fab food, ageless bar staff and service was superb despite being rammed for a gig at the arena. Jody's Bomba food is to die for and just what you need after some local beers. We'll done Bunkers! Xx

Great place especially if visiting the motorpoint arena as its next door

Lovely pub, great beers, friendly staff but oh my God don't go to eat. The food was dismal, the choice is very limited, it's highly overpriced and worse than late Saturday night takeaway junk served on paper plates with wooden forks. Such a shame. It let's the place down.

nice pub , local, lovely staff

Very different offerings to when I was young lad. They've got a decent craft selection on the board now to go with the usual suspects. Had some fantastic new beers there recently, but of course, they weren't cheap.

Didn't try any food, good selection of drinks with nice prices. Staff always friendly 🙂

Staff member behind the bar calls you dude or man very 1970 if you can put up with that ok .

Probably my favourite pub in Nottingham.

Decent selection of beers and ciders.

Came for a gig, which was held upstairs. The venue was very cool. Place was packed, but still felt comfortable. The bar upstairs had a pretty basic selection of beers/spirits, but the main bar downstairs had a great selection. Prices were very reasonable.

Not a bad experience at all, reasonable choice of beer, lively enough ambience inside although was pretty quiet for a Saturday night. Bit tucked out of the way so ok for a drink on the way across from Sneinton market to Hockley. Few tables outside are fine for sitting out but you'll be watching the traffic.

We only come for drink so I cannot say nothing about food or service because my buddy was buying .

Just been there for a drink as it was a hot day and ended up spending more time because they have very nice craft beers. Tried whatever I cloud try without being drunk 😅. Nice cosy place, big room, live music with good service. Outdoor seating available.

Great pit stop for pre gifg pints, never let's us down

Assistant manager with an awful, arrogant attitude. Needs some customer service training!

This place is a gem. Went for an open mic night. Staff are super friendly. Drinks are reasonably priced and the street food is insanely good!

Nice bar outside the arena, staff on duty were friendly and the bar was clean. Its a decent bar, sat outside for probably 2 hrs. Only issue is, you do get asked for change by the local bums hanging around the area.

Enjoyed the beer and also watched sport which is good

Great experience Friday 19th May 2023. What a credit Edward on the bar is to them. Gig room upstairs rocked

Great beer lovely young lady served us. Food looked good .

With a large bar with nice decor views through the large windows, good sized beer garden when weathers good, great selection of beers that start in ver reasonable price range there's a lot going for it I've not been there much before but a couple of events in their nice function room I'd certainly recommend it.

Great place to visit before heading to ice hockey 🏒

Great bar, fun atmosphere. We were upstairs for a friends birthday in a nice room. Excellent beer, but terrible wine.

Staff were friendly toilets are upstairs though but there is a single disabled toilet downstairs not a big pub but lots of choice for drinks

Great pub for enjoyers of well kept draught.

Ok but very noisy with TV on very loud with sport.

Another one of my favourite pubs round Nottm, excellent range of ales from a vast range of breweries.

Nice variety of drinks and superb staff, clean toilets

Banging pub with impressive high quality beer selection, great value good food options, good location and an array of live events upstairs.. Brilliant professional staff and again not bad value at all considering location and quality.. A must if in Nottingham.. Cheers Gregg and his merry crew x

Bar. Decent beer. Footy on TV. Quiet Monday scoop or two enjoyed.

As far as pubs go, this is easily the best one in this location. Busy, especially on nights when the Panthers have played (Nottingham's ice hockey team, not yer actual big cats), and all the better for it. Great selection of beers and an interesting choice of furniture.

Meh.. average, selection you would expect from a craft beer bar, male orientated in atmosphere, very bland food, had to ask for a plate as it is still doing the unsustainable everything comes in packaging 'street food' thing that was trendy about 5 years ago, weird awkward passive aggressive service from the manager 🤷‍♀️

Good food and a variety of beers l. Close to the arena

Decent boozer good beers and sky sports

it’s not often i leave a bad review for a business, especially hospitality as i’ve worked in hospitality myself but i have never had such awful awful service in hospitality. staff are unfriendly, the manager/owner is even worse and they under pour. not to mention the manager tried to physically man handle me when i tried to go upstairs to the toilet when i was completely sober. definitely do NOT recommend.

Great atmosphere and beer, staff very friendly.

Great pub,great atmosphere & right next door to the motorpoint arena ,what more could you wish for !

Had a good drink here after a concert at Motorpoint arena good selection of beers

Helpful and really nice people nice place too

Lovely bar, great music and fantastic service, located very conveniently for the arena next door.

Friendly helpful staff, great prices. Can't complain 😁

Some of the loveliest, most welcoming staff I've ever had the pleasure of serving me. Great selection of craft & cask ales while also having a really lively, fun atmosphere. Most pubs strive solely in one or the other but this balances it perfectly Need to come back ASAP to try the food & see what else I've been missing out on

Friendly bar person, good choice of drinks, outside seating available.

You got to see it to believe it and enjoy it.

Small friendly pub serving a good selection of craft ales. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Nice pint, lively pleasant atmosphere.

Very nice customer service, great place to drink and chill.

Nice atmosphere and good service

Lovely little pub. Food was good and beer was great.

Good selection of beers on the go and worth the slight walk to the end of Hockley from the centre to try them. Usually busy with a nice outside area.

As is the way these days with city centre pubs craft ales and little heard of beers are the trend. And they're not cheap so makes drinking a bit of a lottery. The pub itself is okayish the service was great o have to say.

Good pub to go and watch the world go by.

Good boozer - strong range of beers and variety of seats and tables. Ideal for a pre-gig drink ahead of going to the Arena. Also popular pre football by the looks of it.

Came after the Haim gig. Nice beer, good bar staff.

Nice pub good atmosphere and a good choice of beers

Great choice of real ales and craft beers. First time visiting and will definetly be going again.

Excellent selection of real ales, craft beers and lagers. Good food. Great venue to watch sports. Ice hockey friendly pub. Ideal venue before a visit to the Ice Arena.

5 stars just for quoting Hot shots

Staff were helpful and friendly

A good pub with a great atmosphere. The food is good too.

Good service excellent company right next to the venue perfect

Friendly, only had a couple of drinks, so didn't eat,

Great pub and right next door to the motorpoint arena so fantastic! Friendly and welcoming with a homely and fun feeling (rock/metal chic) would highly reccommend

Very quiet Lack of choice and very expensive

Good friendly staff, with a sense of humour as well.

Great bar and staff but men's toilets not good . No proper hand drier in there. Needs a lick of paint

Excellent, booked a table for Tyson Fury fight, nice friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Very very busy Sticky floor and too hot

Always a great atmosphere during the Ice Hockey Play Off weekend

A very cool and modern premise with quirky light fixtures in a converted bank. The bar staff were friendly and chatty. Good selection of draught beers, but also ciders, wines, and spirits. A city pub, so I think is frequented by night-outs and workers rather than being a "local". Good social atmosphere, including monthly swing dancing upstairs (which I attended and was very fun). Sporting events are shown

Great place .really liked this place

Nice pub with a good selection of real ale and craft beer. It shows sports on screens around the venue and is also.popular with the local ice hockey community.

Nice atmosphere, brilliant service

Excellent friendly polite staff. Two pints of shipstones Nut Brown Ale absolutely excellent.

A very nice pup and the staff were great 👍

OK I guess. Reasonable price, cheap deals when the Panthers are at home....

Excellent Customer Service from the only bartender upstairs. Lovely little function room.
