I was here twice in the space of six months, so must have been impressed enough to recommend it to a friend for the second occasion. My notes made at the time are a bit sketchy, but my photos suggest that I found the interior attractive. It's a pre-war building with a bit of art deco about it, and the way the interior has been refurbished makes the most of this. Smart modern furniture was in contrast to the 1920s theme in the pictures on the walls, but it all seems to work somehow. The bar had three hand pumps, with Pedigree on both occasions backed up by local beers from Blue Monkey and Navigation in 2021 and Milestone in 2022. My notes from the first visit mention loud background music in modern styles, but this didn't put me off making a second visit.

Original review. 31/05/16. Original score 8.
Despite having lived in Nottingham all of my 52 years, due to its reputation, I have never visited the Lord Roberts. This all changes last weekend, when noting the recent refurbishment and adoption of Flipside as its house brewery, I decided to take the plunge.
What a great pub! No less than 10 hand pulls on the bar serving a complete range of Flipside brews and a small selection of guest brews. Staff were polite and let me try several brews before I made my choice. Excellent seating with nice new carpets and curtains finished off the sympathetic refurbishment. Although we didn't eat, the food menu looked attractive and I may well give it a try one evening in the future.
Will certainly call again, nice to see yet another "brewery tap" on the Nottingham scene.

Popped in for a pint the other night and the variety and quality of beer has drastically diminished. Just 3 on the bar, one of them a porter. went for a flipside brew and it was total vinegar. the barmaid tried to tell me it should be like that. i left.

A former gay bar now operated by the Flipside brewery of colwick. This pub has only just re opened after a six week extensive refurbishment and is a vast improvement over the former pub. The new pub has a very nice traditional pub feel with warm carpets and wood throughout along side comfy bench seating. The beer range is now outstanding with ten hand pumps for local micro brews. on my visit the 7.3% russian rouble (£4.10) and flipping best (£3.00) were in excellent condition and a 20 per pint discount was offered with a CAMRA card.
A massive improvement and a real good addition to the real ale scene. with news the old angel up the road is being refurbished and will have its own brew house means that this area of town is starting to really up its pub game which is great for the city. I will be calling back here as it is one of the best pubs within the hockley area of the city, do not let past impressions or reputations of this pub put you off it is now a great find.
