Lacemakers Arms, Nottingham

This is a large conversion of a former factory with an area on the right as you enter and the bar to the left. To the right of the bar is a further area that was dark. The decorating of this place looks like it hasn't been completed. It was empty on my midday Friday visit. They were playing a recording of an Ed Shearan live performance where his squeaky voice murdered several songs from way back. I counted five hand pumps which had two unused Little star Hollow Stone Waitomo, Pale Ale and Shipstones Bitter. I went for the Waitomo (£4.00) which smelled and tasted like vinegar. The landlady said it always tastes like that and had only gone on the previous day. She changed it for the Shipstones which was only marginally better. My visit was during a hot spell but selling rank beer is a joke at any time. I wouldn't return.
