The Loft, Nottingham

When i went in this pub it was called the Criterion Inn and the pub was originally a Shipstones tied house but i never went in it under their ownership. The pub has had a few different names over the years. Once inside there was one longish narrow room with the bar on the right there was also a small raised area to the rear which had a large table,on my only visit to this pub there were some gangster type people playing cards on the raised area giving the pub a very seedy feel which i dont like that much. There were no real ales on the bar with keg Manns bitter being a very poor drink. The pub is now called the Loft and does live music. I have rated this pub on my visit when it was the Criterion.
