Portland Arms, Nottingham

A nice little terraced pub with two bays flanking the central entrance. The upper frontage is in cream painted brick, the lower has a slight mock-Tudor moulded stone with brick infill look. There is a patio at the front and a beer garden at the back. There is a single room around a central island serving bar, which is in red and white, with white ceiling and wood floor. There is a brick fireplace and a raised area with a pool table and red chimney breast. The walls sported general pictures and mirros, and a few brasses were dotted about for interest. The TVs had sport on and the music was general at an ok level. The service was really good and the clientele seemd to be both mature and down to earth! You get a CAMRA discount. Beer; usual tap stuff with Full Mash Brewery's Manhattan Pale, Seance and Whistle Dixie, along with Hardy & Hanson's Olde Trip on handpull. The Seance and Dixie were decent. I really liked it here and no doubt, on our next trip to Notts, we will be in again.
