The Vine, Nottingham

A corner pub of a sort I thought was long gone, if the decor hadn’t been updated in the early eighties I’d have said join me on a trip to the 1960s. A handful of the well known National kegs awaits along with leatherette chairs, fortunately at wooden tables on cast iron bases rather than the period authentic formica. Carpet tiled floor, this is now single room pub although there’s a back room with sound equipment and 1970s wallpaper. Being more up to date than I suggest it has a Guinness USB charging station, as well as a screen, machine, darts board and local radio as sound track. A very old if mistreated pub, the double doors at the front are curved to fit the building.
