The Malt Cross, Nottingham

This was an interesting building not far off the Market Square, and used to be a music hall. There was a café side to the bar where all profits were for charity. There were stairs to an upper gallery which was open so patrons up there could look down to the lower floor. We had Brewsters Music Hall and Ringwood Filly Drift from the cask ale selection. Food was being served. It is in the 2013 Good Beer Guide. There were a couple of Glastonbury beers on too.

Quite an interesting place this one and well worth a look in. It is listed on the Nottingham Real Ale Trail guide. I went in looking for some Glastonbury ale, but to no avail, some lucky sod had finished it off. The Brewsters Music Hall, made up for it though as it was a good session beer. Will call again.
