The Keans Head in Nottingham

Great place. Definitely has a 'pub' vibe in a city of bars. Great choice of beers/ales/ciders

Great place friendly staff food looks amazing if you like a proper pint in a good pub give it a try

Lovely food and fantastic selection of ales.

Been a number of times, and as always, a good selection of beer, food OK, but go for the beers, seems different to our previous three visits, left after one drink, atmosphere was not there that Thursday early evening, will try again later.

Really nice place. Didn't eat but looked and smelled good. Great view of the St Mary church outside.

Proper pub with great choice of beers

Castle Rock Ales what's not to like. Had a pint called The OG (Best Bitter.) Went down very nicely.

Fabulous food, great selection of craft beers.

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere and fantastic choice of ales.

Fantastic craft beer pub! Loads of taps & choices. That also sells excellent curry #nirvana

'Kitchen closes at 10', except this isn't true and it actually closes at 9, or whenever they decide. Good selection of beers, but nonetheless a bit of a shambles.

Nice, friendly pub serving a great selection of beer.

If you are into real ales then be daring and try something different. If not ask for a taster ! Still a very good pub for a chill out.

A really great selection of drinks.

Good selection of interesting beers. Excellent Indian food. Good value menu of sharing plates at lunch time 🌶️🍺👍

Headed in for a quick bite & pint. Menu of Indian food looked good. Food was OK. Beers were OK. Service was OK.

Lovely curry and great real ales

Excellent range of low ABV IPA 😎

Great traditional pub for those who like ales of all types , including a large selection of gins and whiskeys from all around the world ,didn't eat here but they have an excellent choice of Currys 😋which will be going back to sample.👍👍

Fantastic pub with fantastic beers 🍺

This is the best pub in Nottingham. Nothing else comes close. A craft beer nerd? Better selection than Junkyard. Cask ale selection and a good amount of world beers for the person who only drinks Belgian trappist fare. Not only that but they have a vast aray of gin, whisky/whiskey and wine. The curries served are excellent, very fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is always nice and relaxed, so great to go for a bit of a chat or even on your own.

Fantastic pub. Don't be fooled by the use of the word 'butter' in the butter vindaloo! It is very creamy and buttery but still has the fire 😅

Great proper pub with great beer what more do you need. Not eaten there but food looked good

Great range of beer. Not tried the food yet.

Excellent food, the very best biryani I have ever eaten, ever! Great beers too.

We love this place, it is in a great location with a welcoming atmosphere. An epic selection of beers and divine Indian street food from from Paaji’s. On top of that is the great & friendly service. We had Kernel Biere Saison with Damson for beer, Duck Madras and Marsala Fish & Chips. Superb every time.

Fantastic bar, a real ale pub with great beers.

Great pub, extremely helpful and friendly staff with good knowledge of all the drinks on offer. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great place, fantastic staff And good food

The staff were very nice all be it the place seems to run in student labour. We had 4 dishes , I would say expensive for what it is and not very tasty. I would say very very over priced .

This place does serious curries,foods so good,authentic,not expensive,great atmosphere,amazing staff,don’t even want to mention how good the beer is

I only popped in for a quick half but I wished I could have stayed longer. I'm definitely going back again. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and a fab beer selection. Next time I'm trying the curry.

Very miserable barman. Maybe because I bought cider?

We regularly come here when in town, always a great beer selection in a chilled out atmosphere

I think of all the places I've been going in Nottingham for about 15+ years, this place has probably changed the least. Always something interesting on tap, bottle selection is decent, and the relatively recent addition of the curry kitchen means I'm here more frequently than ever. Great value, tastes spot on and has vegan options. Sometimes it's hard to find a table in the late afternoon/early evening but in a city full of empty units its nice to see somewhere with some atmosphere.

Good choice of beers great atmosphere A1

What a brilliant pub, superb food, coming back

Enjoyed a 'Right to Roam' from Buxton Brewery Good to find one of their cask beers

Amazing selection of drinks and some quality food. Had the lamb burger which was very tasty and filling, good value

Proper pub with excellent beer selection on keg, cask and bottle.

Always come here when passing through Nottingham, amazing curries and German beer selection 🙌🏻♨️🌶️🍻

Great pub, loads of craft beer and some real ales. Didn't have food but it looked fab, will definitely have it next time. Staff friendly

Excellent food and great selection of beers including gluten free beers which is so good to see. Nice historic building.

Always a decent selection of craft beer. Not cheap but not the most expensive in Notts though. Not tried the food yet.

Saturday lunchtime visit, we popped in just after the pub opened and decided to have a drink and stay for our dinner. We looked at the menu and were torn on what to pick there where so many nice things listed. In the end, hubby opted for the railway lamb curry, and I had the wage beef burger. The food was delicious but we have eaten here before, looking forward to when we can go back again.

Great food, friends staff and brilliant selection of beers, right in the heart of the city.

Nit been here for a while but forgot just how good it is ! Great choice of craft ales and beers and the Indian themed food is just fantastic. Pay a visit, you won't be disappointed. 👍

Food and drinks were incredible. We can't wait to visit again

A welcome place to drop the weight off the feet. Lovely staff, and a nice clean pulled pint. Situated at the rear of the lace market, its handy for St Mary's Church.

Good place for real ale, but 1 dark ale isn't enough for a pub that has so many beers. A nice, friendly place to chat though and one we always enjoy visiting.

Another visit which served up both lovely bitter and gorgeous food Very busy this lunchtime Good atmosphere

I don't drink anymore but still love a good pub - the Keans Head is lively and laid back with draft no/low alcohol beer plus bottles/cans as well. Great to still get quality beer without the units 👍

Currently the best place in Nottingham for craft beers in my opinion

Didn't try the food, but will be back to try that with a group of friends. Excellent range of beers and drinks. Often some rarer or unusual ones. Nice atmosphere and nicely busy. Recommended.

Top quality beer, cask or keg. Fabulous food, and a good atmosphere 👌

Strong contender for the best pub in Nottingham, and certainly the best pub in the city centre! Top traditional boozer with heaps of beer and cider, plus a comprehensive wine list and spirit selection to boot. Service is just on the right side of friendly, which is fine because there's always a great atmosphere generated anyway by a real mixed crowd which usually fills the place. The five star rating, however, is signed and sealed by Paaji's - the Indian kitchen tucked away behind the bar. Knockout curry and Indian starters (to eat in, or wait for with a beer) make this place a regular stop on our pub crawls!

Another Castle Rock pub, we were allowed to taste the keg beers but the prices are steep. We get ripped in Norwich but this pub is pricey, we had two 2/3s of Verdant it was over a tenner. The staff are really friendly compared to the Fox & Grapes, we were told not to have pints because it would be £7.80 a pint 🍻

Always worth a visit when in Nottingham, great craft beer selection and food though special cask beers are on the expensive side as they are also imported. Can get crowded.

A great pub tucked away a few minutes walk from the city centre. Excellent beers and great range to try at good prices. Beers from all around the world on offer. Small and cozy but well worth the time to walk and enjoy the beers on offer. Good place to meet up with people. Has toilets. Very friendly staff. Part of the local castle rock brewery chain in Nottingham and has a loyalty app.

Great food, huge selection of cask and real ale. Good Curry and a fab pint at a reasonable price. What more could you want?

Very good pub about 10 minutes walk from Nottingham Railway Station. Six cask ales - and three ciders - on handpump when I visited including a milk stout. The pub is located in Nottingham's historic Lace Market opposite the Grade I-listed St Mary's Church. The pub itself, which is Grade II-listed was built in 1907 as offices and a warehouse. It is named after the Shakespearean actor Edmund Kean who in 1861 appeared as Hamlet in a nearby theatre. Busy but not impossibly so before the Spurs game at the City Ground.

Lovely little pub and lovely food

Dog and customer friendly. Great range of beers. No loud music. Tasty food. Perfect

Great place, good food and huge selection of beers

Great ale and tasty food - what could be wrong?

We go here as it advertises gluten free beer. But only ever got one on when we arrive.Better than none but please have more 👍. Food looks good never eaten there though.

A pretty unique place on a Sunday night. A chap in fluorescent fishnet, two lady “friends” having a Barney in the garden. Very friendly though.

Lovely lunch, and some fantastic beers too. Incredible range of drinks if all different styles. Can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Family favourite for a pub lunch. Great staff. Great food. Great beer. Sorted! Burgers and all the loaded fries are very good.

Already a decent boozer, now doing indian food, no brainier really.

Great little pub with local beer and interesting guest beers

Belting meal and pint would definitely recommend 👌 👍

Another stellar Castle Rock venue - they do pubs very well and this is no exception. Huge selection here - and they have non-alcoholic on draught.

Fantastic beer, didn't eat but smelt fab

Proper pub in the heart of the Lace Market. Can't fault it, unlikely to beat it.

Thursday 28th September 2023 This pub i visited today, this pub, sells 8 great, not communal hand pumped ales and 1 hand pumped A propper ale pub this is How a Brittish real ale should be Clients drinking here all real ale drinkers Today, this real ale pub played great American blues music. This pub, when in Nottingham, is an essential visit if wanting a choice of a plethora hand pumped great ales to drink

The place smells of lovely food but we only went for the ale

Lovely find, real ales, ciders, lagers, good selection of spirits. Relaxed atmosphere. Didn't try the food but it looked and smelt amazing.

Nice beer and a great pub. Was an ok price too

Great selection of beers but the staff were a bit moany

Great castle rock pub with loads of beers and spirits, knowledge bar staff and insane Indian street food

Amazing food! Best Biryani and Paratha in town. Great selection of whisky and beers.

Excellent range of beer, both keg and cask, local and from further afield. The Indian food that Paajis is serving out of the kitchen is very good and available as full meals or "beer snack" sizes. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Don't expect a seat if you go at peak times!

Nice small pub. Plenty of real ale on tap. Tried rhubarb beer properbly not again.

We had a great family meal in this pub on Saturday. Best chicken korma I’ve had in a long time. Not too much cream and just spicy enough for me without making it bland. And the onion bhajees were amazing. Everything was so delicious and freshly cooked, looking forward to going again. Interesting and good range of drinks too! Service was quick and polite and with a smile 😀

Food wasn’t as good as last time, but still pleasant enough. Amazing selection of beers and good cleanliness as always!

Well worth going for both the ale and food

Plenty of choices that’s for sure

It's a Castle Rock pub, say no more! The masala loaded fries are delicious, pair with a pint of Harvest Pale and you can't go wrong. Choice of beer is excellent.

This pub has great food in addition to good drinks

This place is one of the must-visits on a visit to Notts. Unlike so many other public houses, it is not 'styled' or conformist in any way so attracts a wide range of clientele who visit for the friendly atmosphere, friendly service and great selection of well-kept beers. They're not only about beer, having a great selection of spirits too, so seek it out next time you're nearby.

Great traditional pub serving a huge selection of real ale 🍺

Without a doubt the nicest ‘old man’ pub in town that doesn’t feel like an old man pub! All the choice for booze and beers !

Fantastic wee bar, great selection of ales, food was out of this world, the flavour wow, street food at its very best, we will be back

What a surprising little place. The selection of ales is good and knowledgeable staff too

Everything you want in a pub. Great range of beer (real ale) kept well and an Indian restaurant on site. Perfect combination

Great beer and Indian food to die for

Very good pub. The food smelled really nice.

Great place for both craft beer and food

The masala fries were so gorgeous. The vegan and veggie options are brilliant!! And the staff are so lovely x :)
