The Organ Grinder in Nottingham

Drinks only, Blue Monkey Mango IPA excellent along with a fruit cider, the music was superb, love The Smiths, prices very reasonable, seems to be run by students?

Good pub great beers enjoyable night

They changed something about the lighting inside and now it feels corporate and bright 😭 this had been my second fav pup of all time (after King Billy). Really hoping they bring back the cozy vibes 🤞🍻

We visit this bar every now and then as newbies to Nottingham. Me and my bf think it has a nice and friendly vibe. I like the lighting at night and the decor is cool. The staff are friendly and the music that plays is nice. It has a moody, fashionable, artistic but chill vibe to it, which is unique. The beers are good and they have variety. I definitely think more people should visit this place. A good place for date night pints or a vibey session with the girlies and the brethren.

Lovely pub with a friendly feel. The tap for the Blue Monkey brewery, with a selection of real ales and craft beers from them and other breweries, as well as local cider. Highly recommended.

Cracking pub very nice staff and great atmosphere. Blue Monkey beers always superb!

Spent the evening here drinking with my family and was served by Les and Jayk who made our evening amazing and they went above and beyond and couldn’t fault there ability to host the place.

Great place, really enjoy here, nice atmosphere and staff, great beer, quickly becoming our regular place

Great friendly real-ale pub, with quaint smoking area out the back 👌

Lovely friendly pub, with great staff and great beer.

If you want a faultless choice of quality beer in Nottingham, you won't go far wrong and a few other quality beer outlets around it, so worth a visit.

Great boozer, blue monkey brewery pub.

A great pub and only a short stroll from Nottingham city centre.

Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Fab pub with excellent staff and always a very warm welcome. Lovely roof terrace garden. Delighted to hear Jak has been promoted to manager, absolute best of luck. Too many wonderful people behind the bar to name them all, but a big shout out to Elaine, Les, Thorn, Aliyah et al

What a fantastic pub , young staff are second to none, Yezme ,Arlea, Kezia, and Jack are brilliant . They provide great service , with a smile. Great real ales , well kept, lovely decor, great outdoor seating area. What more do you want.

Would not recommend. The staff seem have no knowledge about craft beer or cask beer, you can tell it's their first jobs and not been properly trained. They're behaviors were not professional, it's like stepping foot into someone's student flat. It was not a nice atmosphere and very uncomfortable. When you're visit a brewery venue, this is it not what you except. Food menu poor. There's potential here for a great pub with fresh local beer and amazing pub grub, but sadly it falls flat. The only good factor about going was the manager, Ben. He was extremely knowledgeable, polite and genuinely seemed to love working in hospitality.

Great selection of Real Ales. +++++

Good place for Blue Monkey beers Had an interesting Treacle Toffee Porter

Fantastic pub with friendly staff, excellent beer and a rather good weekly quiz.

The best pub and beer in Nottingham. Not a sports bar, but a perfect venue to socialize and drink the best beer of the midlands.

Everything I come in this pub I always drinking there staff are very friendly and it's the only pub I know that sells brewski peach lagar which is gorgeous

Such good and friendly people and wonderful atmosphere. Pet friendly 🐶

Ollie was a g, served fast lovely lad

Great little boozer and the plus1 is amazing

12 45am on a saturday day morning i asked the bar manager to call me a cab to get home as my phone was dead and i was alone as to which he replied no sorry we dont have a phone here,, bearing in mind this pub is situated in a not very safe neighbourhood of Nottingham,, this annoyed me alot but in the end a lovely barmaid called me a cab ,,, i think they need a rethink on the safty of their customers,, his attitude was disgusting.

Nice pub...Good choice of beers..Nice atmosphere....overall a nice pub to visit..

Classic brewery pub with a contemporary feel. Very friendly.

Really enjoyable pub and somewhere to definitely recommend, the Warsteiner beer is particularly nice! Staff are friendly and a good selection of games to play too

Awesome Blue Monkey brew pub with loads of draught beers at reasonable prices. Great atmospheres and huge roof terrace

My favourite pub in Nottingham! Good prices and nice atmosphere!

Excellent beer from Blue Monkey. An off pint was very quickly replaced after the barrel was changed.

What a fab little gem! Love the garden roof, the choice of gins, the specialist brewery. What's not to love, except I will be back to try the food. What a lovely, lovely little place - thank you, sorry it's taken so long to find you!!!

They don’t serve food but they’re happy for you to bring in whatever food from outside. Very friendly staff and are very accommodating. They have quite a few board games. Also take song requests.

Great chilled out pub, with good choice of beers. Excellent music.

Nice pub with an awesome outdoor terrace. The beer's not great though.

Friendly staff, comfy environment and a decent range of beers on the pumps

Came into The Organ Grinder for a beer or two and left with a full stomach and an even fuller heart. The beers are delicious and the vibe is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and welcoming (for a non-local). Jack needs a shout out, he was working behind the bar and he was funking amazing. Great service, great banter and just a lovely human. He helped me with some tourist related things but honestly his personality was what mad the experience amazing. To the owners of the establishment, either give him a pay rise or some shares in the place. The reason I'll be coming back is because of him. What a legend. Thank you The Organ and more importantly thank you Jack!! See you soon!!

Yet to try the food; I was nearly tempted by the pork pie. Great pint of locally made bitter from Blue Monkey. The Primate has yet to fail to impress. Great service from friendly staff. I will be back..

Just popped in for a quick half, staff are lovely and very quick service. Pub is warm and welcoming.

Attended a poetry event here, was decent and entertaining, the staff were cool and even though I only had cokes I enjoyed it,

Fantastic beer garden for a sunny day and great selection of beers, ales and ciders.

A nice friendly pub with a good mix of clientele. Unfortunately the first beer I tried was off but I had no issues getting a replacement. Nice atmosphere all round and a good range of beer as you’d expect

For a tap pub I found it very expensive. The choice of beers was excellent.

Micro pub. Offering variety of ales. Outside seating area and roomy inside.

Nice selection of their own beers plus a range of guest and keg. Always busy, warm and cosy.

Great pub, one of the best in Notts

Visited the OG in Nottingham for the first time. (We usually use the Loughborough one) A bit out of the way to find but worth the uphill walk from town. The familiar own branded beers were available as was a Cinder Toffee stout, which tasted lush. Sadly, all the pies had sold out for the day but, otherwise, a nice visit.

Lovely little pub, great selection of beverages. Pancake shots were amazing!

My favourite pub! Dee was superbly helpful! Really made my day!!

Hiya coming back from a hard days work nip to blue monkey pub on Alfreton Road had my first pint payed for on card 4 40 which was all good second pint charged 14.40 for 1 pint luckily my bank notified me about this so any one going in there paying by card be careful as they cam charge anything and plus I do not trust the staff as I confronted the staff he was very quick to give the ten pounds back and the staff did not get this from the till so please be careful when paying by card thank you

Lovely pub with excellent ales.

Always great ale served by friendly knowledgeable staff.

Great beers, lovely staff and regulars

Love this place, especially the real fire.

Great pub with craft beers from Blue Monkey. Nice beer garden and warm cosy interior inside. Also perfect city spot for click and collect of Blue Monkey products without the need to head out to the brewery.

Nice pub with great atmosphere. Like stopping off here.

Great beer selection. Shame there's no Camra discount, as it's a little pricey. Great atmosphere and staff. Nice cosy pub with comfy chairs everywhere.

Always a good selection of beers and ciders, great little city pub close to many public transport routes.

Great cosy pub with an impressive selection of beers. Gem!

The best pizza in Nottingham. No doubt.

Popular. Friendly and great beer

Very good beer choice really good.

Being a fan of Blue Monkey beers I was looking forward to visiting this place and the ale quality didn't disappoint. Guy working there (Matt) was an excellent host also, knowledgeable and friendly, complete opposite of the misery guts I encountered at the Kean's Head in the centre. Trick here is if you work in hospitality, be hospitable, it helps. Overall a very good experience

Great beers and friendly staff.

Much improved since Matt moved in

A very lively vibrant pub the ale is spot on, with a vast array of keg beers, Matt the landlord is an excellent host.

One of the friendliest pubs in the city, great atmosphere.

Great pub to visit, plenty of beers to choose from. The balcony beer garden is really good. Definitely worth a visit

Decent pub with great selection of beer

An amazing lil gem on canning circus, staff top notch beer amazing

Brilliant pub Pj tips lived it.

Brilliant place, especially upstairs, as you can sit outside. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Really enjoyed the Northern Soul Music and the whole ambience. Will certainly go again.

Following a blue monkey beet tour, we went in search of a public house that sold the range. Really friendly staff, old fashioned pub with atmosphere and character. Sold all blue monkey beer ,husband loved it. Will definitely go again

Great pub. Great beers. Great staff

Good beers and nice vibe to this pub 👌 👍 🍺

Being a Blue Monkey Brewery Pub, The Organ Grinder has excellent ales and excellent, warm and friendly service from staff who obviously enjoy their job! Matt and the team are great at making you feel relaxed and are knowledgeable about the drinks and snacks available (The Pork Scratchings with the Chocolate Stout Jam were a revelation 🔥). For more substantial food, Lauren and Adam (formerly of The Wing Waggon) are really passionate and friendly about food and service and their sliders, fries and slaw are spot on at wallet friendly prices. A must visit location if you're in Notts and want a drink/food 👌🏼

Lovely atmosphere and great food! Whilst we were there we also had some fantastic music!

Such a friendly little pub! The organ grinder is one of the most down to earth pubs in Nottingham. The staff are so friendly and welcoming! Eahh night they do something different so you can pick the day to go. They have pub quizzes, wing nights, board game nights etc. One thing I found which I've been enjoying is the film nights where they have a screening of student films. Very cosy atmosphere plus its free! They even give you popcorn which is great. Fin does a lovely job hosing and each time is unique. As a flavour of what they do id look at their Instagram. I even make the trek despite living 15 mins away these days

First time visitor here, spent the evening sampling the great real ale selection, all good. Staff friendly and knowledgeable, wold recommended if visiting Nottingham

Best local ever. Nice staff and range of beers. Proper pub. Board games and a nice rooftop smoking area.

First visit and will definitely return !! Excellent beer selection, friendly and informative staff and tasty cobs !!

Great Real ales pub in Canning Circus area of Nottingham on Alfreton Road. Lots of Beers/Ciders/Gin to try, even barrels to buy! Outside veranda area with plenty of seating at the back. Popular with young and old alike. Short walking distance to city centre down Maid Marrion way (down hill). Several other bars/pubs and lots of world food eateries a stones throw away. Happy hour from 5-8 Wednesdays. Pub quiz nights, Dj's playing soul/Deep house. Friendly and warm atmosphere!

Super pub super beer super staff

Good selection of ales, friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Great beer and a real fire. Got character.

Friendly staff, great choice of real ales.

Helpful friendly staff. Great beer.

Great real ale pub with fantastic quirky Decor.l

Well Done to Matt and the staff for really turning this pub around. I’ve received the best of service with a very great selection of Ales, Ciders and Largers! Thanks Team, you’re really taking this pub to a whole new place!

Staff were all friendly and had a decent choice of nice beers

Great beers, friendly staff, cracking pub

Nice proper pub. Good Blue Monkey Brewery beer with a very pleasant atmosphere. The roof terrace is a nice space but doesn't have the best views. Clean and tidy toilets and helpful bar staff.

The staff was great had a good laugh and chat with Kim would definitely go again

I had a great time. The staff are lovely and the venue is really nice, I spent most my evening on the upstairs terrace enjoying the DJ set they had.

Excellent beers and spirits. Brilliant staff. Favourite pub by far.

Always great and friendly staff Blue monkey pub.

Comfortable pub up the hill with enjoyable and well kept Blue Monkey beers.

Excellent beers, lovely friendly atmosphere, I found the staff very welcoming, a enjoyable place to spend your leisure time. Oh yes the Silton pork pies are delicious. Try a visit I'd recommend it.
