Railway Tavern, Nottingham

Set over two rooms, this is the Alcazar brewery tap. Only two Alcazar ales on the go with a third turned on my visit, despite a vast array of empty pumps. My Nog was indifferent, quality-wise. I found this place fairly unfriendly, not helped by the naff 1970’s red and brown interior, which smelt of old fag smoke and an odd mechanical rumbling that I assume was coming from some dodgy equipment in the cellar. Rudimentary beer garden located at the rear. Practically empty, even with the house ales at £2 a pop. Dog and mullet (as in the haircut, not the fish) friendly. Keg mild and TV. Uninspiring all round.
