The Navigation in Newark and Sherwood - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely food, nice atmosphere 😁😁😁

It was raining a didn’t let us sit under the umbrella

Cool little bar, had some unexpected live music which was decent. I will definitely go again.

Didn't eat, so can't comment. Excellent, hand pulled beer, prompt service and a wonderful, friendly atmosphere. Great live music too.

Food was amazing and the staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly

Brilliant pub with a friendly atmosphere, live music, open mike, and a great selection of food.

Great night out at The Navigation with Ferrocene. Great band, great location - good chance to let your hair down!!

Perfect Atmosphere, Live Music ☝🏼🤘🏼🫶🏼

Nice clean place, if you're tall like me 'mind your head

Have been frequenting the Navigation for years, and I love the friendly service. Wonderful live music.

Hidden little gem. Great pub. Drinks only so can't comment on food.

Lovely place to visit good range of beers and good bar staff 😀

Build up to new yr celebs going nicely.

Great night, brilliant atmosphere

Fun and lively place, I've been going to for years.

Another great little pub with river views.

Great pub, welcoming staff, amazing bar managment and always good music !

Went here to see a gig, good atmosphere. Didn't sample the food as they stop serving quite early.

Great friendly pub,nice beer. Worth the trip over from Nottingham.

Great food and live music, definitely worth a visit

OK. Nothing special on a Saturday afternoon.

Been coming here for years. Great place for music in a lovely setting

Judging by the wall art and past visits the bar is generally rock type music. Today Saturday 14.00 we went in only briefly as the ‘banging tunes’ were club vibe so spoilt the visit. No one was in so I guess it is the staff choice of music. Nice pleasant girls but setting the wrong impression. On another day with a different playlist it gets a 5 rating all day long.

Nice location with view on River Trent canal. Perfect cold lager and live music. Need I write anything more?

Went here for a quick pint, right by the river so enjoyable on warm summer days.

Great pub. Especially when they have the live bands on.

Great hidden gem. Fabulous location. We had the Sunday lunch, which for £12.00 was OK but a bit on the small side and quite a small portion of separate vegetables - burgers looked great though. Would definitely return

Lovely place and staff friendly

We went for the ribs meal deal and it waa delicious. Enjoyed the ribs and the chicken bites. Great value for money. Thank you chef.

Brilliant night,great band and great atmosphere.

Fantastic food here, got to be tried 😋

Great live music venue and beers.

Great atmosphere with equal views of the trent but on our last visit we was hoping to enjoy Tapas but was out of stock and a lot on the menu was not on but did not spoil a great evening out !

Great place for music but ive not eaten there.

Seemed like a lovely location . Asked staff it was okay to move a table by the window as the band wasn't starting till 9pm . Owner decided to come over and harass us claiming we were being rude and difficult to staff.....bizarre.....you have a lovely pub nice location why scare away customers who simply ask if they can move a table.

Dog friendly. Warm. Welcoming. Friendly. Great beers/wines etc. Wonderful feeling. Plenty of places to sit. Very relaxed/ chilled atmosphere. Parking. Absolutely lovely.

Enjoyed the pulled pork burger, very tasty and as much as I could eat

We had a great night a good atmosphere and great live music.

Great friendly atmosphere and surroundings, good beer, lovely barmaid and they accept dogs. What's not to like?

Love it! Such a good atmosphere! The drinks selection is top drawer and while I haven't tried the food (yet) it smells and looks great!!

To noisey, acoustics make it difficult to hear when there is a crowd. Ended up moving to the Ram.

Great service and beer. Good atmosphere.

Went here to watch Conspiracy Rising play. Lovely pub!

Music ok Beer good quality Shame about the big brands. Would be nice to see a local beer, say Maypole, Beermats or even Batemans.

Superb food, generous portions clearly cooked by a chef that loves this style of food. Bar staff on it, made us and a little boy very welcome. First visit but definitely not the last! Thankyou

Nice pub with a good variety of beers. Live music was great. Huge window looking out on the river.

Lovely evening though not the best acoustics for the band

Fab spot for Sunday Lunch. Can recommend the Sunday Tapas!

Amazing venue, great people, totally recommend 💯

We had two tapas dishes for a shared starter and one main course from the specials board between the two of us. Very tasty ribs and chicken wings for the main and tempura prawns for the starter were amazing. Lovely evening sitting watching boats sail past right in front of us. Obviously very conscious of needs for Covid - cleaning the tables thoroughly between customers and one only in the toilets with a clear sign on the ladies door. Slightly off the beaten track so need to know it's there.

What a wonderful hidden gem of a place. Brilliant food, fantastic location alongside the river, good selection of drinks and very reasonable prices. 6 of is ate and had several drinks for less than £110. We'll be back!

Went in for a meal in the evening with my girlfriend, good selection of tapas avaliable (6), my girlfriend had a Asian chicken burger and loved it, I had the Boa Bun special which was hoisin chicken it was amazing. Staff are really helpful too :) would highly recommend.

Wonderful pub near the waterside! Food was incredible and would highly recommend! Staff are friendly especially Josh who was very helpful :)

Love this pub. Great for visiting for food with the family and fantastic live music every weekend, all weekend. The chef offers some really interesting choices, with specials on top of a high quality but also very reasonably priced menu.

Really nice pub with great views and an excellent Bar person on visit last Saturday 21/5/22. The beer was very nice and okay selection downside no food available that day. It's was a little annoying as my group would of eaten before if we know.

Visited on Sat 21st May and a had fantastic night of music and entertainment from a brilliant band - the ‘ex-kittens’ who hail from the Lincoln area playing covers. From the moment they started playing the whole place was alive and ‘buzzing’. Great Bar staff working hard and very helpful. Evidently the Saturday night live bands is a regular event and I will definitely visit again

Nice spot by the river. I didn't eat but the food looked ok. The visit was spoilt by the "musak" obviously chosen by the young staff,a hideous nonstop drone of rap and lord knows what.no thought given to the age or preferences of the clientele.

Nice pub in basement of old warehouse next to the Trent

Really great place, people and staff friendly, atmosphere good with live bands at weekend, food is really good and reasonably priced

Great pub space. Loved just sitting and watching the canal. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. If I ever head back to Newark I will definitely visit again

Brilliant pub wit the best of nights

Great pub really enjoyed my night in there

As this was my first visit to Newark, this pub did take a bit of finding, situated right at the back of a yard. Interesting architecture, directly adjacent to the Trent, with the occasional boat passing the window. Exposed brickwork and timber beams were nice. Seemed to be trying to be a traditional pub and a modern bar at the same time. I had a pint of Harvest Pale, which was a nice light drink. Prices typical for the area.

Keep an eye out for their live music sessions as the cavernous interior provides perfectly for an atmospheric gig night. An appreciative music crowd frequents and there’s friendly staff. Enjoy!

This pub was the making of our night in Newark, the band they had on was fantastic and for a night venue I was surprised to find the Guinness excellent. It was a little bit pricy but there was no cover charge on the door so we didn't mind paying a bit extra. There was such a well behaved friendly respectable bunch there also.

Charming cellar bar, good ale, great atmosphere, friendly staff, live music.. What's not to like!

Nice bar right on the river. No food. Live Music back on.

This is gem. Original and great. Just visit and you will like the place. Phil is the best ever at running a great bar. Cheers..

Live music is good, but you have to keep your glass half full at all times.

Brill service, atmosphere and great location too.

Nice beers and very friendly staff. Live music was on and enjoyed by all

Just a very nice place to have a beer and watch the world go bye.

Loved this pub..I called in while fishing on the island.i only nipped over for one and ended up having 5..loved the music selection.i will be deffo calling back next time I am fishing on the island

Brilliant pub , great beers , the best live music & friendly bar staff

Fantastic pub with great staff and lovely views on to the canal

Lovely place near the river. Very friendly staff.

We were visiting the area for the night on the 9th August 20, and happened upon The Navigation as they had an outdoor musician playing. We dropped in thinking they would not have space for us, but with a little shuffling around we were presented with a table and chairs grabbed from inside. Great safe and friendly service, would definitely go back again.

we caught a live band on a friday night - very good band good crowd, nice bar to be in, staff friendly - sitting ad dancing areas

Great atmosphere, friendly management, nice venue

Great beer, good food, fab location

Great pub with friendly staff and people

Good beer live music and friendly staff , a good pub

Great pub with great atmosphere and regular live music 👍🏻

Lovely canal side bar, with bare brickwork and low arched ceilings... Great selection of bears, Ciders and spirits, also has regular live music. A lovely find on our first night in Newark.

Nice place good choice of beers.

Great pub little hard to find great beers

Love this place. Great atmosphere, good selection of beers and a brilliant place to enjoy live music.

A great pub by the Trent, and a good place for live music.

Great atmosphere, live bands, a lively Bar that suits all taste's

Lovely setting, and a fantastic cheese board, parking is provided but signage is confusing.

Great atmosphere. Good range of beers and live music on offer on a regular basis. Great setting by the river Trent.

Cosy gem of a plave on the river. Great atmosphere, nice staff and a little outdoor terrace.

This is a fantastic little bar overlooking the River Trent. Well worth a visit at weekends for the live music.

Like the place is in a time warp

Watch ya head on the low beams instead

Great atmosphere if a little loud tonight. Great vibe and great staff

Dark and you can't sit outside by the canal

Great little hidden gem of a place.

Awesome little pub, set out the way, actually right on the Trent, you couldnt get any closer, awesome music in the evenings , a must go to when I visit Newark

Decent pub, but I imagine most folks go for the music which is on at the weekends, been a while since been for music myself, just nip in when I'm on a session!
