Crafty Crow in Nottingham

Used to like it but on this visit it reminded me of dropping the kids off at school

We ordered toasties and after an hour of waiting some toasties showed up, but the completely wrong order. The one burger that was ordered was burned to an absolute crisp. Don't normally post reviews but really wouldn't suggest eating here.

Decent beer and atmosphere on a Friday night. Not too busy and easy to find a quiet spot to chat with mates. The pool table was also well used by another group.

A lovely little gem of a place for afternoon coffee by the window....

Very nice beer, very nice pub, all good 🙂

Me and my daughter visited the crow on 27/11/24 the staff was very nice and polite and helpful. We came back later in the afternoon before we the gig we was going to. 10/10 and will be back again. Thank you

What a great place to go on a date we got greeted straight away by a lovely man called Hayden (head chef) he seems to be a hard working man who runs his kitchen and helps on front we will deffo be coming again !

Only marked atmosphere 3 as it was mid afternoon and only 4 people in there.

They have the best drip trays in the world and a great attitude for philanthropy. Overall spiffing vibes

Went in early afternoon it was a bit quiet

It’s a very nice place. Very kind lady at the counter. I had the crow og hamburger it was delicious. My son enjoyed the chicken fingers and chips. And there were Lego’s for him. So in summary it’s a very nice place just outside the Nottingham Castle. Loved it.!!

Unfortunately when we went the server had no idea how to make the cocktails we ordered. Should have stuck to beer.

Open mic night on a Wednesday night is always fun

Just had drinks, but would definitely be back for food.

Usually enjoy this place went in Saturday afternoon pint was ok but the toilets had piss all over the place

Awesome atmosphere, a great pub that we love to visit often!

Alfie was very friendly and helped with all of our problems. Very good barstaff

Crafty crow - cheeky prices. £6 for a pint of hand pumped ‘BG sips +1’ is not a normal Nottingham price. Other than that underhand rip off ( i.e price not listed on the screens above the bar) , not a bad place.

My stop for a quick pint on an evening dog walk. The staff are always lovely.

Very disappointed in the quantity of food …. Tasty but meagre portions. Service very good.

Great city pub, loads of choice for drinks! Excellent food and really friendly helpful staff! It's a little out the way, but defo worth a visit.

A real nice friendly pub. With real ales

Great pub, friendly staff and live music on Wednesdays and Fridays!

Just went for drinks. Lovely atmosphere. The place had a buzz about it. But also chilled and relaxing.

Always visit here. Good beers on offer and happy they always seem to have dark beers on offer.

Excellent food, cocktails and service 👌🏼 We spent the day in Nottingham and decided to stop for food outside Nottingham castle. During our visit we were mostly served by Barnaby who provided outstanding service! There was a special offer on cocktails so we had a few each. They were customised to our liking, brought to our table and they were beautifully crafted. The burgers and crispy chips were amazing too!

Great pub for a beer didn't have the food.

Went on a Wednesday night, reasonably priced beer, dreadful music.

Food was lovely, however popped in for a relaxed lunch and spent the whole time listening to people blowing up balloons for a balloon arch (and the continuous popping of ballons) presume these were needed for s private event, however should have been done when the bar wasn't open or somewhere away from paying members of the public. The constant noise of what sounded like a hand dyer, accompanied by loading banging from balloons popping, made for an irritating lunch.

Top class bar in a prime location, with equally premium selection of craft ales and lagers. Service is top notch.

Decent pub. Well kept ales (3) and a box of real cyder as well as usual keg fayre. Pub is light and open and the light pub food menu is very reasonable for the size of the portions

Only popped in for adrink, but great place to relax and unwind. A good place to meet friends and relax.

Friendly staff with a nice vibe 👌

Great place for real ales good selection lovely food & good value recommend the chip cobs

Dog friendly Nice vibe Good cocktails

Good local beer on offer and reasonable prices. More akin to a cafe or bar on atmosphere front (at least it was on the Saturday afternoon I went). Nice layout

Amazing and friendly staff, made me and my partner feel very welcomed and even made our hot chocolates a little spooky as we visited around Halloween time. Can’t wait to come back again!

Glad that this place has re-opened Decent beer selection and also 2 for £12 on cocktails!

Called in for a pint with friends and it was nice. There was a good selection of beers to choose from, as well as a few games you could play which was nice.

Called in for a drink early on new years eve. Good atmosphere and service.

Hadn't been in here for years until today & certainly changed for the better. Not really a place for a cheap drink but not going to hold that against them. Really amiable staff and customer base. Atmosphere relaxed. Good range of drinks & in my case the Guinness was good..

Very expensive drinks - over £13 for 2 g&t's - singles at that.....! Uncomfortable seating in the lower area & the place has weird acoustics which makes everything seem loud 🤔. Didn't like it

Pleasant & efficient bar-ladies in a busy town pub. The acoustics of the building are horrible & it's hard to hear your friends talking. £13 for 2 single g&ts. And bluebottles flying around everywhere-yuc! I killed 2 by our window table then there were at least half a dozen in the ladies loos. Probably won't go again even tho the refit is smart.

It's great to see the Crafty Crow back open and on last nights visit, doing so well. The location is fantastic, across from Nottingham Castle, and is well worth a visit when in the area Real ale, craft beers and excellent range of other drinks. Always loved this place, so please take time to visit

Nice clean, friendly pub. Really nice vibe and staff had a service with a smile. Really enjoyed the pub.

Came here for a snack and some drinks, the staff were incredibly welcoming, kind and hospitable. Really nice pub. Will defo come back

Great food, great beer ( inc if

Nice place, good food and greatt service.

I've been in twice since it reopened. I would have stayed longer, but it got quite cold with the front doors wide open 14/10

Great friendly little pub , great quality of beers and snacks , and the odd old school bar games

It was an excellent place and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Great beers and music.

Newly opened about 3 months ago, lovely atmosphere, great bar staff, reasonable priced!

This was an excellent find some lovely ales and very good food. The service was great and the staff friendly.

Nice staff. Quite quiet. Quite a lot of beer choices, but nothing spectacular.

Just drinks, great to see it open again

Very nice space, good selection of cask and draught beers, coffee and friendly staff.

Come on people support this place. It has reopened. Great choice of real ales. Sadly no food yet. Use it or lose it.

Very clean and nicely decorated. Quirky wash basins in toilets. Excellent selection of beers along with very friendly service. Overall, thoroughly recommended.

Recently re-opened pub serving cask ales from Nottinghamshire breweries.

Great new owner Daryl and he has a special helper called Lee bless him. Enjoyed the evening.

It's good to see it open again, went last Thursday night castle rock beer. Would be good to see brew York in there.

Excellent beer, food, atmosphere. Very spacious and airy, all staff wearing masks.

How they have 4.5 stars I'll never know. Beer is fine, wine is fine, lights are so bright, views of the castle are lovely. But the customer service is shocking - laughing and joking together behind the bar - rude answers to my questions. Such a shame, it could be so much nicer!!

Lovely craft beer pub in Nottingham - great place to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Nice bar, in a pleasant area of the city.

Always a good visit and has a great selection of craft ales

A huge range of great beers to suit every taste. Well worth a visit.

Cheap ales, lovely craft beer and friendly staff 😊

gteT selection of beers friendly service

Always worth a visit, great selection of drinks

I felt super covid safe as soon as i walked through the door. Everything possible is done to ensure minimum risk. The staff are super polite and the drinks menu is impressive! A great place to hang out - i would recommend.

Siempre una cálida bienvenida, incluso en los tiempos de Covid, con el distanciamiento social tomado muy en serio pero con una sonrisa.Siempre se ofrece una excelente cerveza, una sección de artesanía además de cuatro bombas manuales, todo muy bien cuidado.Por lo general, soy un comedor de carne, pero su comida vegetariana es increíble y también a un precio razonable.Este es verdaderamente uno de los mejores pubs de Nottingham.

No soy vegetariano / vegano y este lugar solo es vegetariano / vegano, así que entré sin saberlo.Dicho esto, toda la comida que mi esposa y yo pedimos estaba deliciosa, bien presentada y la recomendaría.El pub tiene una buena selección de cervezas adecuadas y admite perros.Siempre somos muy Covid: somos cautelosos cuando salimos y este lugar tenía todas las protecciones en su lugar mientras seguía siendo acogedor y un lugar agradable para estar.Definitivamente recomendado para un plato y una pinta.

Lovely friendly eclectic bar. Magie brewery ales amongst others. Great food very tasty never noticed it was vegan until after ordered and shouldn't have worried it was delicious. Beer selection was great with excellent range. Friendly welcoming bar staff. A must when in Nottingham.

Stopped by for a few drinks and a meal on our way to a gig at Rock City (about 15 mins walk away). Great selection of beers, a comfort food menu and comfy surroundings in a nice location opposite the castle.

Came here visiting Nottingham to see our son for the day. This is a really nice independent pub part of Magpie brewery (Notts County) good name.It is not particulary cheap but the service on a saturday lunchtime was excellent.My wife had an issue with her meal which went back to the kitchen but they just kept the fish warm so it was over cooked when it came back out.We had a complimentary glass of wine while we were waiting and the meal was refunded with no quibble so we will definitely go here again.

Stopped by after work for a quick evening snack and refreshment. Discovered there is a quality vegan menu - sampled the macaroni cheese which was excellent! Lovely relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with polite helpful staff.

Absolutely love this pub. Always come in when in Nottingham. Good choice of real ales if you want them. Staff always pleasant. Monday was the first time we had eaten here. The food was very good. I had a club sandwich and fries and hubby had pie and mash. They told us the food would take about twenty minutes which is fine as you know it's fresh. There was nothing at all to complain about. Will keep coming in here when in the area

Cracking Beer and Food , dropped in for a quick lunch . Really good Beer ‘ Magpie Brewery ‘ and lovely soup and sandwich . Will return .

Paré aquí para tomar una cerveza rápida y un café. Está en una calle tranquila cerca del castillo.Buena variedad de cervezas reales, la mayoría procedentes de la cervecería Magpie. Si bebieras una pinta de todo lo que tenían para ofrecerte, ¡no recordarías haber estado allí!Es bastante grande y no estaba demasiado ocupado cuando estuvimos allí, por lo que el ambiente era moderado. Me imagino que es mejor un viernes por la noche después del trabajo.Servicio amable, sin duda lo recomendaría.

Después de visitar algunas veces para tomar una copa y disfrutar del ambiente acogedor, decidimos probarlo para el almuerzo. ¡Después de esperar más de 40 minutos para el "pastel casero", llegó solo porque contenía un gran trozo de plástico! Al interrogar a la camarera resulta que no están hechos en casa, sino comprados. nunca volveremos

My partner and I came here on a Saturday 12th October afternoon for lunch. The lady who took my order at the bar was pretty off and not polite at all. Didn’t even get a ‘thank you’ out of her. She then bought our sausage sandwiches over. No cutlery no offer of sauce etc. My partner went up to the bar to ask for these and again we felt like an inconvenience. When we started eating the sandwiches were luke warm at best but at this point we couldn’t be bothered to say anything and were starving. £26 for 2 drinks and 2 sausage sandwiches is enough to pay. So I would expect a good level of service. Very disappointed.

We were part of a large group meeting for a social drink after work. Relaxed atmosphere with lots of choices of ales and other drinks. It worked well with a good atmosphere.

nice quirky place with friendly staff, just near castle, good choice of ales and very clean with novel washbasins in ladies toilets

Perhaps it was just a bit quiet when I was there but it felt a bit soulless. The beer was outstanding... so maybe timing is everything with this place... I would certainly go back for a drink and a quiet read.

Popped in for an early evening dinner and was pleasantly surprised at the range of choices available, covering all tastes and dietary needs. Portions are generous but not overpowering and the prices are very reasonable. Wide range of drinks available- alcoholic and non alcoholic. Set opposite Nottingham castle the experience was fully enjoyed.

I like the fact that this is not a chain and serves food and drink from independent small providers. However, the service is slow and the staff are pretty rude or uninterested.

Nice atmosphere and decor. However I was a little bit disappointed with the Veggie option I chose. I think it was advertised as chilli though instead of a meat substitute like Quorn or tofu it was tomatoes? Slightly random.

Nice place to meet with friends. Lot of kinds of beer. Friendly and helpful stuff :) not really expensive place :)

Llamado para una cena con nuestro laboratorio choccie. El servicio desde el principio fue de primera clase. Galletas para perros y un cuenco de agua para el perro. Se eligió una selección de IPA de prueba para elegir cuál, una como preferencia. Comida encantadora, llegó puntualmente. Recomendar bangers y puré.

Visited with friends and was impressed by the wide range of gins and the yummy food. One of our group had her dog with her and the Crafty Crow team brought over a water bowl and biscuits. Thoughtful service!

Reservamos el Crafty Crow porque queríamos visitar a nuestro hijo en la universidad y él quería que trajéramos a nuestro perro. Después de algunas investigaciones reservé el cuervo astuto debido a las buenas críticas y la ubicación. Tuve que llamar un par de veces para hacer algunas preguntas y en ambas ocasiones el personal fue extremadamente servicial y educado. Cuando llegamos, nuestra mesa estaba lista con un cuenco de agua y golosinas para nuestro perro. El personal del bar y el servicio de camarera era excelente. Sin duda volveremos cuando volvamos.

We had been to wonderful castle ,unfortunately there's a massive refurbishment of Nottingham Castle going on for the next couple of years but no matter ,we were still impressed by the walls and got our selfie took by the statue to Robin Hood before heading over to The Crafty Crow Pub for a pint of real ale.

We came for a night out in Nottingham for the first time and was greeted by a lovey bar tender, suggested the best drinks and bars, and received a lovely experience there on, could not expect better bar service anywhere else! Give Jess a raise or we won’t come back!!

One of my favourite bars in Nottingham for great food (vegan and vegetarian options available) and craft ales and lagers and artisan gins. There’s a great vibe without being too busy.

Went there for a pint last night - busy enough with a range of clientele without being packed, interesting range of good price beers and spirits. Bit of a grumpy bouncer who ID'd my 20 year old son out with his parents. But would good there again which is a recommendation. Didn't eat and didn't see anyone else eating

My work friends and I, go out to lunch at least once a week in Nottingham city center. Yesterday, three of us ate at the Crafty Crow and we all ordered the Fish & Chips. Wow! Best Fish & Chips in a long time and trust me, I know my fish and chips. Bar staff were lovely too and the location is gorgeous. I'll go nowhere else for my F&C.; Highly recommended!!

Near the Castle is this what initially looks like a small pub, but that's the main doors, go up the steps and its a large open plan area with the bar in the centre, the choices of alcohol are wide and very different from what you will find elsewhere, well worth a pint.

Went on a Friday evening, was very busy but still managed to find a table. Menu is great with a fair few vegetarian choices. overall food and drink was good and atmosphere of pub is great

We were taken for our first visit after our friends recommendation.The selection of beers was good but the kitchen was closed on a Saturday lunchtime "because we have a party of 20 coming later". Plenty of other places to eat.
