The Angel Micro Brewery in Nottingham

Freezing establishment. I’ve never sat in such a cold bar which meant that was only one beer for me. The man serving was pleasant, however his female colleague seemed to want to know what we had been talking about….,perhaps do that out of earshot for the clientele’s comfort.

We went here for drinks and lunch with our close friends back in December. Had the pork belly lunch and the seaside cider. My lunch wasn't amazing but the cider and the chicken starter I had was amazing. The staff ever so friendly just like it was 7 years ago. My husband loved his Sunday lunch and both of us were full to the brim. Thank you

Decent enough pub with a good selection of beer. There was a DJ on but there was clearly an issue with the sound system that killed the vibe a bit while we were and we had to leave because there was quite a prolonged period of very loud unintentional noise. Service at the bar was a little slow

A lovely bar with friendly staff, a good range of drinks, and delish food!! :)

Really great vibe here. Central, friendly great food & atmosphere. They have got it just right here, where so many others fail!

I was refused a Guinness, I was told it was out however, seconds before I observed a Guinness being poured, upon enquiry I was informed that the Guinness was just for staff members. Upon hearing this news I offered my CV and was subsequently denied employment. I feel I was unfairly discriminated against. Had to settle for a larger instead.

Pretty nifty pub, great outdoor seating with plenty of home brewed pubs. Staff friendly, would recommend

Great pub, nice they have games upstairs, cozy smoking area with heaters, good music

Un gran lugar para comida sin gluten. Vinimos para un almuerzo rápido para 4 y estábamos muy gratamente sorprendido por la gama de opciones sin gluten disponibles. El personal era amable y encantado de ayudar y la comida llegó rápidamente y fue muy bien presentado. Tuve un sandwich de ternera sin gluten y superó mis expectativas... totalmente delicioso. Volveremos a ir ya que hacen una cena festiva de asado que también tiene opciones sin gluten. De hecho, la mayor parte del menú es GF. También un agradecimiento muy cálido a la encantadora señora con la que hablamos en la cocina. Recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera que sea celíaco y que busque buena comida de pub.

Selección razonable de cervezas, bien precio, lo suficientemente espacioso para grupos pequeños. Buena cantidad de cervezas de barril en el grifo también. ¡Vale la pena visitarlo!

What a find! Been to Nottingham loads but never been in here before! Lovely atmosphere and great beers!

Great food and wonderful service from Victoria! Recommend if you like good beer, good food and great service!

Great food and great service as always - Victoria in particular was super helpful

Nice pub, been served quickly. Has some decent selection of beer and interesting design. You can read some interesting story about the place on the internet, so as much as my visit was just okay, for the sake of its history is worth visiting.

Still possibly the best pub in Nottingham

Always worth a visit. Excellent beer, excellent food. The staff are helpful, friendly and fun. Always a good vibe in the place.

Best pub in Nottingham City centre providing great beer's brewed on the premises, excellent unfussy food & the best mix tape around. The angel has a very eclectic mix of customers adding to its appeal & the staff are superb Well worth finding out & enjoying Easy 5 stars

Top place!! Atmosphere, music, 🍻 good that friends took ... The best part is that I wanted a hot tea and they satisfied my request which left me very happy..!! Very kind and nice staff. Special thanks also to one of the girls who brought me tea ☕🥰 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PLACE!!!!

Amazing pub right in the heart of town centre. Great for a get together with group of friends. Chippy next door is absolutely mint as well. Great atmosphere with top notch staff.

This place rocks with the people and the environment and the staff are a gem.

I was served by Tamara on the bar and she was a delight, so helpful and friendly had a lovely chat and great drinks as well, will definitely be back and couldn’t recommend this place more! Service was impeccable

Me gusta este pub. Lamentablemente, el personal más inepto del bar que he presenciado en algún tiempo esta noche (25 / 9 / 24 ). El personal del bar parecía incapaz de ver quién había estado esperando y quién estaba recién llegado. No sé si esto se debe al entrenamiento o simplemente a la pereza. Una verdadera pena.

Our first time visiting this establishment, we travelled to see Dunes, an excellent band from Newcastle. We enjoyed our food, there's a great selection of craft ales available and all the staff are polite, friendly and helpful. The old chapel upstairs is where the bands play, it's a truly beautiful building and full credit to the sound engineer, the sound was excellent. We will definitely revisit and if you love live music, it's a hidden gem!

Our first visit for a gig, and what a fabulous place! The building itself is a wonderful rabbit warren full of history, and the Chapel venue upstairs is superb. The sound is 👌 with the sound engineer commanding from the pulpit 🙏 We ate before the gig, and both had the Buffalo Chicken burger, which was excellent, so tasty 😋 There is an amazing selection of 🍻 as to be expected. All the staff were friendly and there was a great atmosphere.

Amazing Amazing thanks to all the friendly staff. Fun place. Superb food. It's gonna be a regular place for me definitely. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great beer, top food and awesome staff. Highly recommend the vegan food. Vegan loaded fries are ace.

Después de ver una reseña decidimos comer aquí. Teníamos los tacos de coliflor y estaban muy bien. Precio razonable también. ¡Terminé dejando un poco ya que la porción era enorme! Muy buen personal del bar que apreció nuestros comentarios. Sin duda comería aquí de nuevo.

An excellent selection of both keg and cask craft beers! Very friendly service

First time trying real ale in any pub. I'm normally a Stella, Guinness type. The Angel make their own brown ale called False Prophet. as I like Newcastle Brown, I thought I'd give it a try. It's bloody brilliant!!. I am now a possible convert to real ales, but for now just the brown ales. Looking forward to trying the food..

The big surprise for me in Nottingham. A pup with really really tasty food! A large selection of vegetarian and vegan food. Very very friendly staff! You feel extremely comfortable. There was a small brewery and beer from it was on tap. The own beers and the guest beers I had were all very tasty. A clear recommendation and definitely try the dessert!

I spent a great afternoon in Nottingham with a few friends, enjoying beers on a glorious summer day. Our visit to The Angel was, for me, the highlight of the day. The beer selection was exceptional and impeccably maintained, particularly the stout. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making it the perfect spot for a social gathering. Special mention to Dylan/Dillon for looking after us. 🍻

Very weird bouncer on the door, didn’t let my friend in ‘because he was Intoxicated’ despite the fact he hadn’t had a drink the entire evening

Decent pub with micro brewery. Good selection of cask ales

Not what it used to be. So back 20+ years ago it had one of the best Punk and Metal juck boxes in town! Now sorry to say it's fallen into trendy ville / student hell. Yes I know times change but Nottingham has lost the alternative scene that it used to have. You could walk in the Angle on a week day with a great mix of suites, punks and rockers and they all came in for the music and ale. Just my thoughts.

I love this pub! It has a real Camden feel being so close to a busy street and with the smell of hops from the brewery! The staff are awesome and very friendly and helpful... the food was brilliant and well priced... we will definitely return and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants great food, excellent service, and brilliant beer!! Thanks, guys! See you again soon!!

Excellent value for money food and beer good. Gem a brill host. Thank you xxx

Amazing vegetarian and vegan food, good value, lovely choice of beers which is always changing. Staff are friendly. One of the best pubs in Nottingham. Music venue is great too, especially for DIY artists.

La Angel Microbrewery está en Trip Advisor bajo la categoría de “Bares y Pubs”. Si alguien necesita ayuda, significa que su enfoque principal es como pub, no como restaurante, por lo tanto, te sugiero que lo uses como tal. Sí, al igual que muchos pubs, ofrece comida, pero mirando las críticas anteriores, la comida aquí claramente polariza las opiniones, mientras que cualquiera que acaba de venir por una cerveza la ha puntuado con 4 o 5 estrellas y eso se debe a que la elección y calidad de la cerveza es muy buena. De hecho, como van los pubs de cerveza, este es un cracking. Un pub de dos bares con una sensación y vibra de casa de cerveza bien desgastada y la adición de kit de preparación en la esquina que se suma al ambiente de una casa de cerveza cuando está en movimiento. Cuatro bombas en cada sección de bar que generalmente proporcionan ocho opciones diferentes de cerveza con un par de propias y luego una buena colección de invitados, además de ocho grifos para una interesante opción de cerveza artesanal. Para mi visita a principios de esta semana con respecto a las cervezas reales tenían tres de sus propios productos en la barra, Exodus Pale Ale, Yipee Aye Yay IPA (bueno) y Summer Blonde, y luego Bear Town Brewey Rahuna, Liquid Light Mother North y Brass Castle Rhubarb y Custard Mild (bien excepcional). Y luego los barriles de artesanía incluyeron uno de los suyos junto a un par de Brass Castle y un par de Liquid Light. Así que para aquellos que necesitan orientación, si usted está detrás de pollo o una hamburguesa vaya a Nando's o Five Guys. Si estás buscando una muy buena cerveza casera, ven aquí.

Very good food for vegans vegetarians and omni,good local pub atmosphere,dog friendly.

The food was bad. The order was wrong too (real calamari instead of vegan). The calamari was dry, like it was old. The tacos were bad, no flavour and dry. The fries were dry and more like crisps. The mushy peas were dry. The only good thing was the vegan Mac and cheese. For the prices we expected better. We came quite late and I wish they’d said no to food service if they weren’t prepared to serve good food at that time.

Nice place but the food needs to be revisited Everything was very dry

At any point the staff may just decide if they are serving food or not. The bar staff and management communicate poor between one another, so whatever the bar staff tells you, do not listen to them. All in all, if you ever want food and drinks do not come to this place.

First visit and last. The food was appalling. I genuinely, hand on heart, have never been served worst food in my life. We had some small plates, half of which were burnt yet cold and the others weren't even cooked. The staff were so ignorant and I mean actively ignoring people. Hygiene standards were poor.

Nice music, good food and nice alternative ambiance, would recommend!

Lovely find havent been here until now love the place

Just had a drink but bar staff were very friendly and drinks were reasonably priced for town centre

Awesome craft beer pub and they brew onsite. Good choice of craft beers and some real ales & cider. Didn't have food but the roast dinner looked fab. Friendly staff, was here on a Sunday afternoon having a chilled few pints while listing to a dj spinning some great soul & funk on the decks

Objectively the Angel brews a wide range of own ale and keeps some interesting keg on. Unfortunately the ale is a bit bland for my likeing which I think is due to the water quality in the east midlands area. One boxed cider on, Lilly's fruit type

I had such an amazing time at the Angel for my seventeenth birthday. My friends and I enjoyed it so much. The interior design was beautiful and the service was so good and the food was amazing.

A cracking old boozer with a great atmosphere, decent selection of beers including some well kept ales and reasonably priced food too.

After hearing a lot about this pub, my wife and I decided to visit the Angel on a Tuesday afternoon. It exceeded our expectations: the food (especially the beer battered fish and onion rings) were sublime, and I enjoyed working my way through their huge real ale selection. There was truly something for everyone. For a Tuesday afternoon, there were a surprising number of patrons, which made for a lively atmosphere. We look forward to coming again for dinner, a pint, a live gig, or perhaps the trio!

Nice cosy atmosphere,with great polite service and plenty of different ales to choose from, Nice snug little beer garden to the rear of the pub.

The Angel is a fantastic pub, with a good selection of craft beer and a charming atmosphere. The team behind the bar are friendly and the DJ was excellent - a perfect Friday night out.

Dead cool bar in the middle of town, this. Great selection of proper ales and great quality whiskies. Really cosmopolitan environment, also.

I don't like giving bad reviews but it was really bad, we booked weeks in advance and paid a deposit for my daughters 30th birthday, they had put tables reserved on and said they would move the tables together for us, of course they didn't...they didn't even clear the tables or wipe them, I did it, there weren't enough chairs and told me to look around the pub for them as they had been taken, so I did, after 45 minutes we asked where the food was? They apologised and said they had been busy and the orders hadn't been given to the kitchen, when it did eventually arrive the boneless fish was full of bones and the peas well I don't know what they were! The table staff were very nice and apologetic, but we wouldn't go back for food...sorry

Wonderful pub. Give it a try and you will want to go back. This is me lol.

Great small batch beers when they're available, lovely atmosphere during the daytime for a few pints and nibbles. Unclean amenities and unkempt tables etc. most of the time, vegan menu needs a lot of work.

On our visit food was absolutely awful, dry tasteless and likely reheated. Service very little better, staff seemed unhappy - probably the attitude which is passed on from poor management. Maybe an ok place for a very quick drink but seems very overmarketed.

Friendly and helpful staff, good range of beers, great atmosphere, definitely worth a visit.

Great pub drinks and food and good gig venue upstairs.

Fantastic place with a local brewery. Large selection of beer. Delicious food with GF and Vegan options. Friendly staff. It's worth stopping on a stroll through the Notts Pub.

Awesome atmosphere, decent prices. Didn’t get food so can’t comment on it.

Fantastic local brewery tap-house! Very friendly and welcoming bar staff. There’s as many as 8 beers on tap, two of them at least of the writing of this review, are brewed in the building. Decent menu of food too. Worth a stop on a Notts pub crawl.

Was there for Sunday dinner and it was 1st class, roast beef and all the veg WOW totally amazing, good djs playing soulful tunes, awesome staff 😀

Always enjoy a trip to the Angel. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and great tunes. Friendly staff and perfect for a snack and a few Pints!

This used to be a real favourite for food. In recent times, however, the standard of food has dropped. Pre-covid, the Angel offered a wide selection for meat eaters and veggies/vegans. Now the choice is slim and the quality is poor. I recently had chips added onto a meal, and was revolted by how they were saturated in grease. This is basic cooking. While it is a nice pub for drinks, it can be difficult to find a seat during busy times. The staff are pleasant, but service can be slow. The variety of drinks is generally ok, but information at the venue regarding speciality beers is limited. As a microbrewery this should be forefront knowledge shared by staff. In essence, the food selection needs to be diversified, and steered away from cheap, simplistic and poor quality options.

I went in there and had a Blonde 3.9% (pale ale) and it was very nice; it had only just come on so I can’t speak for the other beers. Price was standard if not ‘good’. The young gentleman who served me was very positive and welcoming. The room I sat in (the dining area) had a nice atmosphere. I have been in the large room before on a busy evening and I didn’t think it was very good though. There seemed to be a fairly ‘standard’ crowd in there - whatever that means

Called in on Sunday afternoon for lunch, a couple of beers and a few tunes in the Irish Trad session. Great range of quality beers, best Sunday roast we've had for a long time, friendly efficient service and a great atmosphere. Excellent.

Felt the need to review as I've been a year or so ago and it seems the food has gone down hill...as soon as I walked in I could just smell oil from the deep fat fryers, not nice. Choice of ale and beers are good, ordered fish & chips....fish was cooked well but the chips(fries) were well overcooked and soggy with oil. The mushy peas were dry and stodgy! Such a shame as this place used to be great....if you cant cook the basics (chips) you've got a problem. Think I'll stick to a pint and packet of crisps in the future.

I love this venue for the atmosphere and drinks, but more recently I have been disappointed with the food post-covid. It used to be a favourite for me and pals to dine here, but since the menu has been condensed down, it has consequently become limited for interesting choices. It has also steered away from the more traditional, hearty, gravy pub meals for more simplistic dishes. It has become dull, and less appealing for meat-free persons for who this was a hotspot - the seitan steak and peppercorn sauce used to slap! I recently had a toastie for lunch at a fairly reasonable price. It was as good as a toastie can be not made at home, but I regret adding the fries due to them being drenched in grease. The taste of the oil dominated the chips and was sickly. Aside from the food, staff are all friendly and service tries to be quick but this can be challenging due to the popularity of the venue. Sometimes, it can also be difficult to find a seat. Overall, it’s not somewhere I would consider for food anymore due to the menu changes - it’s become very average - unless you bring back to veggie bangers and mash, pie, and seitan steak! It’s nonetheless good for a drink at certain points in the day depending on what atmosphere you want, although prices can be on the slightly higher side.

Been here a handful of times and have never been let down with the food. Amazing gluten-free and vegan options, suitable if you're coeliac!

I visited with an ex-colleague for a catch-up. The beer was delicious, reasonably priced with a good selection too, some of the beer being brewed on the premises. We had a bite eat chosen from a good range of pub food. Overall, we had a great session and will revisit.

I have always loved going here as a pub and was so impressed by the last Sunday dinner that I had here 5 months ago, I would have scored it 9 out of 10. Today however, 4 at the very most and worse still I had to wait 40 minutes for the over cooked food that had presumably been cooked this morning. The pub wasn't that busy either and now running late

Great pub with a very good beer collection and nice food. Food is 50% on Wednesdays, which is an extra plus! Their halloumi fish & chips are especially delicious (chips are homemade). Although, tried the vegan tacos and the vegan mince in them was very dry, so wouldn’t recommend. Nevertheless, a local classic and one of my favourites in the area.

We want to put out a huge thank you for hosting our band play here and a huge thank you to the upstairs person attending the bar with curly hair, very lovely, and attentive. (We found out his name is Alfie.) -Defective Eyes

Great pub. Tastiest IPA I've had in a long time and friendly staff.

First time here. Great environment. Great outdoors. I had a great time.

Great location close to Motorpoint arena. Open to late hours and offers tasty local ales. Popped in after Iron Maiden concert. Professional service

Cracking real ale/microbrewery pub. Delicious food with GF and Vegan options. Quirky rustic decor and an alternative vibe. Friendly staff and as you would expect a large range of drinks plus constantly changing beers. Great atmosphere. Enjoy. M

My mother took me here because she had seen a vegan version of everything on the menu. We both came for the Sunday roast, which was tremendous!! Then we had dessert; they were all vegan and tasted fantastic. We decided to have all that was on the menu. What an experience!! To top it all off, our waitress, Faye, was the ultimate hospitality. She explained everything to us with such professionalism and warmth we wanted to take her home with us. We soon discovered that she is a supervisor and deservedly so.

Great proper pub and micro brewery. With great food, very filling. Superb selection of beers and ciders. Nice little courtyard area. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly.

Old fashioned pub with character I didn't drink any beer as I was driving but the customers seemed happy and the bar staff were uber busy and friendly.

Great selection of ales and ciders. Friendly staff.

Great environment-good beers-tasty food - what’s not to like??!!

Fantastic food, and nice beers, recommended

We held our Nottingham tour leg at the Chapel in the Angel Mircobrewery, and had a fantastic time. The Chapel is a beautiful room, intimate and allows for a wonderful connection between crowd and artist. Harley and the team were professional, contactable and really helpful both during the booking process and on the day of the show. Parking was handy with nearby street parking and access to the stage via a set of stairs out the back saved going through the pub with all the gear. I can't recommend this venue enough, as a touring artist, and also as a gig goer - they have brilliant artists on and take care to make sure that the nights are top. Thank you from me and the team x

Fantastic gluten free burger and onion rings. Definitely recommend!

This is a proper authentic, real ale boozer. Love it! They brew their own beer, which is excellent...and sell Barnsley Bitter!

I was very excited to visit for the first time today with some friends from abroad. We came in for some Sunday dinner. Unfortunately, the experience did not quite meet our expectations which is a shame because the place has a huge potential. We had a reservation and were shown to the table without any explanation about ordering. After a little wait we decided to find out where we can get the menus and were directed to the bar without any further comment. We sat down and decided on what to have waiting for a waitress to take the order. She passed us a few times but seemed to be avoiding any eye contact so we thought she was busy and waited further. After a while I went to ask where we should order and were directed to the bar again. It would be nice if there was any sign or if the waitress informed us on the begining because it would save us the awkward wait. We received the dinners after a long but not excessive wait and were asked if we would like any sauces. I asked for two and started eating. All of the dinners were luke warm at best and the beef was pretty tough. Nice portion of meat/seitan but a really small portion of potatoes and the rest. Unfortunately, the waitress did never come back with the sauces and did not interact with us any more at all. We left disappointed especially that the food has a huge potential and the vegan options are amazing! I love the overall vibe of the place as well and I would love to come back but this experience was really disappointing. I am giving 3 stars hoping that it must have been an unlucky day and time.

The best pub in Nottingham by far, reasonable prices and a delicious menu, dog friendly

Food is great here, and atmosphere fun and lively. Great choices for vegans and veggies - the vegan fish and chips is excellent. Good range of beers and ciders.

Great gluten free and veggie options! Love it here

Google says there is a wheelchair accessible entrance. However there are steps to both bars and where bands perform. Unable to attend with my family and friends. Guess I’ll roll around Hockley on my own until after the gig. Can’t get to the bar to buy a drink. Age of build not an excuse. Ableism

If i could rate this a 0 stars i would been kicked out pal by a bouncer at an under 18s event. My mates gig just wanted to see his set and go to be honest, got kicked out as his set was starting. Just to note the guy who's gig it was is 17 years of age. ALSO, I PAYED FULL PRICE FOR MY TICKET. no id at the door, kicked out mid gig. thanks for the absolute waste of money the angel!

Nice place for a pint and a chat. Good choice of beers, seating available and nice atmosphere.

This place is the perfect place to go with friends. Me and my friend arrived and were greeted with a very warm welcome, and not even 5 minutes into the afternoon I split a glass of orange juice all over the table. The staff was so lovely and helpful and cleaned it up straight away, and offered me a new one which I thought was a very kind gesture. My friends arrived shortly after (there was 12 of us altogether) and we all had our food. The food was really lovely and very tasty, I had the mac and cheese with bacon which was sooo good I just wish it was bigger! The waitresses and bartenders really set the tone at the start for a wonderful evening so thank you so much, we will absolutely be returning!

We always went there for its wonderful collection of ales and beers, but was pleasantly surprised by the food as well. It's definitely worth the visit!

Last drank in here in the late 80's, its improved so much!

It's okay. Very expensive for what it is. Over £6 a pint for a lager.

We ordered food that took an hour to come out and everything was COLD even the gravy!!! Very disappointed, wouldn’t recommend for food (Fish&chips, lamb pie and roast with all the trimmings). Overheard other tables say they had been waiting a while as well. We asked where the food was and they said just plating it all up - but then they couldn’t bring out all the dishes together as it wasn’t ready. The food tasted like it had potential to be nice but as it was cold it turned the whole experience into a bad one. Not the cleanest place either. No comments on the drinks - seems like an average pub if you’re just coming for drinks
