The Peacock Public House in Nottingham

Ah, so much has changed! [Seasonal update: the BEST decorated Hallowe'en pub in Nottingham, and it looks like Christmas is gonna be another absolute banger.] The new boys in charge have had the place restored and properly cleaned up. Lovely retention of period features and the inclusion of screens is done tastefully. New toilets are spotless. There's a really welcoming atmosphere that leaves you wanting to keep coming. The crowd are mainly local, which is great for a city centre boozer. Afternoons and weeknights are never rowdy, and there's a lounge where you can summon the charming staff to your table by pressing a subtle button in the wall. An eccentric Austrian Empire mantel clock chimes the hours, the resident pooch (Tia - as in Maria) will inspect your bags, and the prices are pretty good for town. Overtly LGBTQ+ friendly, the Peacock is back as a part of Nottingham after a difficult few years pre-Lockdown. Definitely a place to call your own.

Very accommodating, lovely staff love the Christmas decorations

They really went to town for Halloween, we really appreciated the work involved setting everything up, looking forward to next year!

Only been here twice. Last week and the week before really made to feel welcome by the Bar Staff and the people drinking in the pub were friendly nice atmosphere thankyou for making my night pleasant will be back soon.

Didn't have food so cannot comment

A great pub. A got-to-visit if it nottingham

Fab pub. Great landlord and partner, very welcoming and friendly. An old pub with a modern twist. Nice little smoking garden at the back ❤️

I remember visiting this pub in the late 1970s and I went then because I had heard about the possibly unique push bell ordering system in the lounge. Back then the Peacock was a very old-fashioned and scruffy boozer, but certainly not lacking in charm. I’m delighted to see that it has survived and seems to be thriving. The interior has been refurbished sensitively and retains the original features including the push bells. Really friendly staff and well worth a visit.

Odd that a pub is described as a fashion chain!!! Wanted to visit this pub last night (Friday 16th August) and it was closed. This being at around 10.00pm on a Friday. Not impressed and almost certainly won't bother attempting again.

Great traditional pub revamp has worked well

Such a shame that they no longer serve their amazing vegan food from before. Feel like a lot of things were lost with the renovation, including its more traditional, cozy and welcoming pub feel. Still a good and convenient place for a pint, though, and with friendly staff!

Love the Peacock. It's spot on for a couple of pints either because or after exploring the city

Great that this pub is back open, having been closed for so long. It has lost a little of its traditional pub charm, but it's still ok for a pint.

Was having a lovely pint of Theakstones XB on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately when I went to the bar for a 2nd drink. Another coupe who came to the bar after me where served first. I went elsewhere. Such a shame as I was enjoying my time. No answer I see !

Fabulous, Friendly place, perfect Cocktails, lively and homely place, we love it...

Lovely pub near the city centre. The staff are wonderful, there is a good range of drinks (including deals at different times) and the pub dog, Tia, is gorgeous. The decor is well done and in keeping with the style of the external building. Both myself and my female friends have always felt safe and been able to enjoy our nights here too, which is an important point. Sometimes there are events such as live music or quizzes but also plenty of times for quiet drinks in the lounge area. Highly recommended.

Nice staff, great little smoking garden

Well worth a visit Had an enjoyable Wye Valley IPA

Well kept beer, great staff, clean and tidy rooms. It's dog friendly, and Tia the pub dog will be very affectionate if you have any food. Unfortunately they don't do food at the moment.

It's an Nottingham institution.

Nice pub good old fashioned one at that

Great ales, decent prices, excellent bar tender, nice ambience in waiter service lounge

Nice place with friendly staff and a decent beer selection, could do with a few new cask ales on though.

Lovely staff and reasonable drinks prices, but I found the Saturday night regulars and the live entertainment overbearing.

Really well restored Victorian pub. Eased to see the table service is still going strong. Quiet with good selection of beers.

Good beer excellent bar staff. Good environment.

Good old fashioned pub with good Ale selection and good service. Recommended.

Great little pub in the heart of Nottingham. More old world than cocktail bar (but they do cocktails).

Not the same pub I used to frequent years ago but pleasant atmosphere and polite staff.

A re-visit after many years away, used to be my/our daily local. An utterly beautifully cleanned up pub back to the way it was. The service bells up and running. It is a stunning revival of a classic pub, into a classic pub! Well done to those who did this great permanent place, a new lease of life. Stunning.

Great little pub ! Needs more cask ales lol

Great pub , good atmosphere Push button table service in the lounge from days long ago , still in operation.

Tom was a brilliant Barman. Great little tricks and a lovely bloke overall :)

Great Halloween decs, great atmosphere and great beer. What more do you need? Really welcoming pub.

Popped in for the first time in years tonight . Brilliant refurb fantastic service a real Nottingham gem! Will be back!

First time visiting after it reopened. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly landlord. Enjoyed catching up with friends there Coffee & biscuit was nice, even if I am on a diet lol

Great recovery of a proper pub on the Northern edge of the city centre.

We’ve been meaning to go in for a while and finally got the chance. Did not disappoint! It has been refurbished and looks amazing, this is kept up with the owners who clearly take pride in their pub, service and cleanliness was amazing!! Totally different from 5 years ago and well worth visiting for one or the night. We wish them all the best and look forward to making this a new regular place for us to chill being a fellow publicans 👍🏼👌🏼

Nice pub, fun quiz on Thursdays and nice staff (y)

Lovely clean pub and the brass bell is genius. The staff are great.

Nice people busy on weekends too

Lovely friendly staff, beautiful lounge, great bar good beers friendly regulars, good times. We enjoyed ourselves so much we created a quiz team so we had another excuse to go. Go and see for yourself.

Fabulous find. The ales are well kept, nicely presented inside, good atmosphere and the barman was fabulous. Don't miss this place.

Enjoyed the atmospher friendly service and customers, nice pub.

Went to the peacock today first time since the refurbishment. Was served by a gentleman called Tom if I remember right? it was really nice to see a bar man that was customer friendly and enthusiastic about his job absolutely great service ! 5 stars polite friendly and really ensured you was enjoying yourself.Jjust him alone made me want to go back again. The decor was lovely thriving atmosphere and a great place to stop for a drink ! The drinks were fantastic I tried a rum which was delightful a pint of old mout cider and half a pint of neck oil all the draft drinks were lovely and fresh ! The nicest pint of neck oil I have tasted in a while and the Mrs hada cocktail which was created by Tom called Malibu breeze ! Absolutely outstanding cocktail she thoroughly enjoyed the texture and the taste not to sickly and a great invention by Tom will deffinatelly be returning !!!! 5 stars all round

Great little pub with a brilliant atmosphere

Visited the Peacock today and what a Gorgeous place- only pub left in Nottingham with the original bell-push service in the Lounge apparently. They were certainly gorgeous and the restoration has been sympathetically done. Staff member was extremely friendly and it’s deserved more customers than it had as unfortunately they were quite for such a central location. Not serving food but did good coffee! Definitely worth a visit!

Not had food. Hosts Phil and Ben champion cocktail makers...very friendly service...Great atmosphere good music. ..

Absolutely lovely traditional pub with a warm welcome and extremely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Amazing venue, great prices and friendly service (can’t rate food though as they don’t do it).

Great refurbishment of a popular old pub. Lovely helpful manager.Only downside is the overpowering smell of tobacco in the lounge due to the proximity of the smoking area.

wonderful quiz, great new look to this pub :)

It's now much lighter inside lovely staff and great selection of beer and snacks.

Love the pub..love the guys so friendly ...cleanest pub in Nottingham

Nice staff - and a bell! What's that all about

A lovely old pub, recently updated to a super clean and stylish standard, by the new owners, who seem to be very efficient and friendly. A good menu of cocktails, with several draught ales.

Nicely restored pub with friendly staff

Wonderful traditional Victorian pub tastefully restored to a high standard.

Sympathetic refit. Good choice of drinks. Friendly barkeep. Atrocious music on random & all genres.

Great little friendly pub polite staff great prices great atmosphere not rowdy wouldnt think you was in town would deffo revisit 🥂🍻🍺🍹🍸🍷

Nicely refurbished, nice barstaff (Thursday 11-04-23 6pm), good beers. Spotlessly clean, including toilets. It's been a long time since we've been in here, but it's great that the Peacock is back !! We'll be back too....many thanks 😊

A gem of a place with restored original 19th century features and serving quality ales, only recently reopened. If you want a genuine pub experience look no further

Lovely pub, very friendly dog friendly. Lovely staff. Good variety of drinks and special offers

Fantastic place great staff highly recommended

Fabulous afternoon, Ben and his partner have made this wonderfully old pub into a great place to go. please try it out let's all put our backs behind them to keep our Nottingham pubs open . Nothing was to mchh trouble

Nicely renovated, still traditional

Traditional pub that has recently reopened. It's been spruced up nicely and offers a range of drinks from cask ale to ciders. I would have liked to see more variety in the cask section and perhaps a wider selection of craft beer available, but it's early days so hopefully that may happen in time. Note: my original rating was incorrect, I had accidentally clicked 3 not 4 stars, so have corrected this.

Beautifully renovated. Great, friendly staff and atmosphere. Good choice of beers.

Great Pub. The barman was so friendly, lovely and clean. Great atmosphere

Excellent little boozer! Friendly staff and dog friendly! Cozy lounge area with fireplace for relaxing! Great selection of drinks and reasonably priced too! Will definitely be visiting again!

First visit after 7 1/2 years , like walking into a timewarp , only with no cobwebs ✅

It was fab, we were a group of 8 and were treated like royalty. It was truly lovely and the decor was stunning. Well done 👍

Great to see it reopened. Really well done make over and bar

Fantastic to see to see one of Nottinghams iconic pubs reopened and sympathetically refurbished. A good job well done by all involved. Good range of drinks inc the currently popular Neck Oil. Sadly no keg bitter like Smiths or Worthingtons but that's a minor, personal gripe. Hope it stays busy. Congratulations.

Great pub. Pleasant staff. Lovely beers

Great ales pleasant surrounding,s

Emailed this place twice about information for a Friday and Saturday night as was bringing a large party of people, didn't get any reply, considering this place has just been revamped and new management saying what they was going to do as read in the local paper, NOT a good start gents 🤔 Still didn't answer my questions i asked even when replied 🙈

Fabulous refurb. Love it on here now, even more than before. Love the push bells for service. The only victorian pub in Notts to still do this.

Beautiful traditional pub, great staff, reasonable price

It’s become our new local. Great landlords, great beers, great atmosphere, great refurb. Well done lads!

Well what a pleasant surprise. This newly refurbished pub is exactly that... a nice place for a drink, welcoming to all and detailed with different bars for differing tastes. It also has the traditional, but seldom seen, 'bell call for service' facility within the Lounge area. I only visit Nottingham but would defo like this as a local and highly recommend you give this deserving pub a try. I shall return next time I visit this vibrant East Midlands city.

Great to see this place back in action. They've made a fantastic job

Cracking new pub after an excellent refurb. Great range of drinks and super staff. Wish we lived closer.

Looking brilliant, worth a pint or two here...

Very friendly welcome but the place needs a complete overhaul. Drinks were warm, hairs were painted into the table. Pretty grim :(

Friendly staff, no smell of food (don't sell food) good beer.

Ok, Just a simple pub, no longer vegan menu, but going vegan was pretty much the decision which was the death knell of the previous people I think, how many vegans drink alcohol after all ? Now new management just getting used to the place. There are two rooms in effect bar and lounge which is still the old hatch service with bell buttons, not sure if the old upstairs function room is still usable. Not sure what they will do for food as yet. Currently cash only.

Not a great experience. Limited beer selection, drab interior. Some people were stood at the back door smoking and the group I was with could all smell it in the lounge. When I mentioned it to the barman, he just shrugged his shoulders. The serve vegan food but cant comment on that.

Absolute garbage, ale selection is laughable, they have Strongbow badged as Old Mout.

Broken glass in door not bothered to repair, letting a draught in. And the smoking area, rubbish everywhere,dirty,untidy,empty glasses just left. An absolute mess ! Nobody appears to bother about hygeine or a two minute clean. Bad.

A pleasant evening. Hope it continues to provide for its clientele.

Depressing warn tired dirty .... Beer with vinegar tea served in a copied chipped cup. Staff very subdued. What a shame this place has become!!!.

Such a shame about the service when the vegan food is so good! Ive tried to eat here multiple times- twice where they've ran out of food & the next time it took about an hour for the food to arrive.. Could be so nice!

Always a nice ale selection. Toilets seriously need sorting and therefore on a sanitary level we're more inclined to eat elsewhere

Excellent food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff

A really friendly proper pub. Lovely warm atmosphere. Good vegan menu too

Nice friendly staff ,nice decor but tiollets are in need of an urgent revamp

Recommend the chicken/cheese burger!

This is a lovely, old fashioned pub right opposite the Victoria shopping centre. It has an oldy-world feel, with lovely wallpaper and wing-back chairs. There is a good selection of beer, the food is great and it has a lovely vibe, with two turntables on the bar playing a great selection of songs. Best place to go after some heavy shopping!

A 100% vegan menu. Most if not all the dishes have a taste punch to offer, if you're unsure what to start with when you see the menu, you won't be wrong to pick the fish and chips though in this case tofu style. Its a vintage/victorian looking place with a bar which is not bad however feels more like a pub rather than a diner/restaurant, plus a terrace dining area for those warmer days.
