Bucking Fastard left this review about Six Barrel Drafthouse Hockley

In this part of town ,I assumed this would be a keg only young persons bar but was surprised to see 5 handpumps operational serving on my trip TT Landlord,Little Critters Turtley Tropical,Spot On,Little Hopper and Twisted Barrel I Love Catch,a peanut stout (NBSS 4). It's a has an ale house vibe with wooden floors,basic furniture ,three rear fridges if you want exotic canned beer and a lively ,noisy atmosphere.
Circuit drinkers will pop in but given an interesting ale range if does warrant a stop if crawling the city centre for real ale.Better than I feared from the outside.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Six Barrel Drafthouse

Relatively recent alehouse right in the city centre, and unlike almost all the others, no door staff needed even on a really busy Euros football evening. Lots of wooden furniture and on the floors and walls, together with breweriana all over. With all six handpumps in use, there was a good selection from mostly local breweries (with Jaipur coming from furthest away), and my pint of implausibly named Schluss Munich Bitter from Hollow Stone (£4.60) was first class.

As the name suggests, this is a pub in the alehouse style, with bare wooden floorboards and a bar counter made of recycled timber. There are six hand pumps with four beers on at the time of my midweek visit; three were fairly standard beers from Ossett, Moorhouses and Purity, with an adventurous 9.5% coffee porter from Navigation which I didn't try as I was told that it had lactose as an ingredient.

A mixture of young people and a few approaching my age, but I've no idea if this is representative of the general demographic - it feels like a young persons pub, but then there are times when I feel like a young person myself. My half of Pride of Pendle was in good condition and my brief visit here was an enjoyable one, with upbeat rock music setting the mood. I entered to the last few bars of Bad Moon Rising, the same song having welcomed me to the Chantry Inn in Sheffield just the day before. (I didn't check if there really was a "bathroom on the right".) There is a sister pub to this one at the bottom of Mansfield Road, half a mile away, and the same company also now owns the Royal Children across town. All welcome additions to the real ale scene in Nottingham.
