Corner pub next to the canal and just a few minutes walk from Nottingham railway station. There is one large open-plan room which was quite busy with a mixture of drinkers and diners on our Friday lunchtime visit. There are wooden floors and a mixture of decor and furnishings. The far left corner is very maroon with some red chesterfields and a few mirrors. Board games are available and there are also a couple of TVs. Plants abound. There is an outdoor patio to the rear.
There were 5 cask ales on. Timothy Taylor beers seem to feature regularly and on this occasion, both Boltmaker & Golden Best were on. Other beers were Bradfield Farmer's Blush, Beermats Charismatic & Thornbridge Market Porter. A CAMRA discount is offered, including on halves. Keg options included Timothy Taylor Hopical Storm & Camden Stout. The cider was Orchard Pig Reveller. Food does seem to be a major draw here. There are menus on each table with lunchtime specials.

Another canal-side pub, this one set in a fairly attractive building, a mix of red brick and white stucco, internally it has been opened out but sympathetically so. I didn't note the beers on apart from the Oakham Reapers Wish, my beer of choice, but wrote down there were five handpumps which differs from previous reviews and whatpubs suggestion of four changing beers, however there is choice and a rather pleasant pub.

The Navigation is an L-shaped pub with a bar counter to the right and seating to the left that is faced by a stage that was hosting a live band. The fifty-something crowd were lapping up the Wednesday evening hound dog music, which was actually good fun, although it wasn’t very busy. Premium and craft keg were available from the bar and the four hand pumps were drawing TT Golden Best, Pheasantry’s BB Best Bitter, Barry Brewery’s Vale of Glamorgan and Grainstore’s Rutland Panther. The service was polite and the atmosphere good so I’d return if passing.
