Dog & Parrot, Nottingham

As noted below this is a larger micropub but is a "proper" one with no music or TVs. They do have a few keg options and a few speciality gins. It's an open plan room with wooden floors and the bar on the rear left. The seating is mainly low and there is plenty of it. All seven hand pumps were going on my visit with Blue Monkey Little Loco Pale, Elgood's Golden Newt, Cross Bay Red IPA, Muirhouse Dog & Parrot house beer & Chocolate Mild, Lincoln Green Marion and Great Heck Taiheke. I went for the Blue Monkey beer (£3.50) which was in good nick. I thought this was a decent micropub.

A fairly large Micro only opened four weeks ago and was previously an outlet for Boots the Chemists. The interior consists of one large room, with the bar along the back wall and a log burning stove over on the left hand wall, which was welcomed on such a cold day. The majority of the interior was finished in a rustic looking stained timber, which included the bar and bench seating around the perimeter walls. Conduit lighting above the bar made a interesting feature. Five ales and two ciders, the Aurora Light Show and Priors Well Wolfcatcher were in superb condition.
