Nobody Inn, Grantham

At the top end of town,this is the real ale pub of Grantham.Split level interior with a lower snug,the bar up a couple of steps with a stage at the far end with some even higher tables.It's all very trad,clean with gleaming handpumps and a rear side snug.The bookcase entrance to the loos confuses strangers,dont try and enter the very low faux door,just push the bookcase.The pub is also know for their live music,the drum kit on display is impressive. The selection on my visit was Doom Bar,Castle Rock Harvest Pale,TT Landlord and Havercake and Newby Wyke USS Winston S Churchill (NBSS 4.5,a great IPA).My colleagues complimented the condition of the other ales. Very sold real ale house,dont miss out when visiting Grantham.

4 real ales of very good quality, local choice. Beams, wood floor. nice place. hidden toilet

A 90’s refit place (reminded me of Lord Beechings in Aberystwyth when I was a student) that was rammed on our Saturday night visit. Could make out a U shaped interior, majoring on the pine wood trim. Pool table. A GBG regular and there were 4x Newby Wyke and 2x Sharps on. My Newby Wyke Osian and Banqo were in good enough shape without being overly memorable. Hard to really form an overall impression due to the sheer weight of numbers (we were reduced to being squashed in at the end of the bar) but it seemed fair enough. Deggy wasn't keen though.

The Nobody Inn is a pub that looks larger from the outside than it is inside. There are two entrances that lead to a shallow, wooden floored, split level L shaped room where the bar is. Furnishings are almost entirely at either side of the bar as it's a very narrow space along it. Around the back is a small pool room and the makings of a snug. I noticed at least one TV screen but it wasn't turned on. I arrived here on a Thursday afternoon to find the owners carrying out a spring clean. I counted six hand pumps at the bar which had Newby Wyke Comet & Orison and to my dismay Sharp's Doom Bore & Atlantic. It transpired that the Comet was at the tail end so I wasn't allowed to have it and went for the Orison (£3.40) which was in good condition. Sadly I completely forgot about the 30p CAMRA discount. I got the impression I may have visited this one on an off day given the single viable beer option but I still think it's worth a 7. It's GBG 2018 listed.

Nice enough pub which appeared to centre on Newby Wyke Brewery ales. Worth a revisit.
