The Queens Hotel, Nottingham

A slightly odd-looking building, with an old single-storey extension in front of the original house that was later converted to licensed premises. These days a Punch pub, it retains three rooms: the bar to right on entry up the front steps, a darts / live music space to the left and a pool room at the back. Pride and Cameron's Strongarm (£3.10) available from two handpumps.

The Queens Hotel used to be a Shipstones tied house. This pub is away from the middle of Beeston and there are no other pubs near it,you have to go up some steps to get in this pub once inside here the bar faces you and the pub as been knocked into one room and this has bare pine flooring. There was one handpump on the bar with Deuchars IPA but i was told this was not ready and offered John Smiths smooth i had a Guinness. The pub was quite busy with locals on a mid week dinner. Not a pub to go out of your way to go in but it is fairly smart and outside it says restaurant but i did'nt see it.
