Scribblers Ales are apparently no more and their erstwhile taproom has been taken over by three guys who worked in the local licensed trade pre-pandemic, they are allegedly the three named in the pub’s new title. No real changes internally except the beer range, Dancing Duck (not a fan) Leather Britches (not a fan), and Uttoxeter (first time drinking and yes fine with that). Beer quality remains high.

A long thin one room micro, brewery tap for Scribblers Ales, not quite to my taste but well enough kept. Bench seating down both sides, raised on one side and with booth like ends the other. Toilets in basement. Their anti plague procedures were spot on as well.

Nice little micropub which is the Brewery Tap for Scribblers Ales. We tried Life Of IPA and Masher In The Rye. Both were excellent. I would happily call again.

Like the Barrel Drop this one had music blasting on my arrival and I was told that a quiz was about to start. It's a typical long narrow room with a small bar counter at the rear. The couple running it were very friendly. There was a good crowd in most of whom looked as though they were there for the quiz. I was rather alarmed to see an open mic night advertised for Thursday.
Six Scribbler beers were available along with Burton Bridge Stairway to Heaven and Nottingham Extra Pale. I went for the One Brew Over The Cuckoos Nest (£3.50 discounted) which I was warned wasn't clear but tasted OK. It didn't taste too bad but I wondered if the cask had been left in a hot place.
What Pub lists this as a "Quiet Pub", hardly true if a Karaoke session is going on.

Excellent micro and Scribblers tap. Decent gin, wine and food menu so plenty for everyone. Great to sit outside on a warm summers night.

For a micropub this one had a very good selection of real ales. It's effectively the tap for Scribbler's Brewery, and had on six of their ales - Rubecca; Beerfest at Tiffany's; One Brew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Smasher in the Rye; Life of IPA; and Beyond Reasonable Stout. All are puns on films of course, with posters on the walls for some of the films concerned. As well as the Scribbler's ales, they also had on a couple of guest ales - Offiler's Derby and Nottingham Dreadnought. Prices are based on ABV with a 3.7% ale at £3.30 and a 6% one at £3.70. I had the 6.0% one - Beyond Reasonable Stout - which was a mighty nice drink as well. They give a CAMRA discount of 20p a pint. Food was limited to pork pies, sausage rolls, Scotch eggs, nuts, crisps and scratchings all for £1.

This one met the micropub criteria; no music, TVs or fruit machines. Obviously as a shop conversion space is at a premium, so they had some tall tables/tall stools on the left to optimise the space available, but there were some more traditional seating on the right.

This one ticked all the micropub boxes for me. I expect to be in here again during one of my annual trips to Nottingham. Everyone else has given it an 8, so to preserve arithmetical consistency so shall I.

A very welcoming place with the bar to the rear left. Many Scribblers ales on offer, the best of which was One Special Brew over the Cuckoo's Nest which was complemented by a Jack Nicholson poster of the film on the wall. Definitely worth a revisit.

A recent and welcome micropub opening which needs to be good to hold its own in the Canning Circus area. It is and it does.
I'd guess that this was previously a shop and there's been a lot of thought put into the layout making it an easy and comfortable spot. The distorted mirror covers the whole wall behind the bar making a statement as well as visually enlarging the place.
The welcome from the young barmaid was friendly and she was knowledgeable on both the beer and the pub.
Being the Scribblers tap, a new brewery to me, their beers were well represented. Our visit found the following: Scribblers Beerfest, Life of IPA, One Special Brew Over the Cuckoo's Nest which was very good and Beyond Reasonable Stout with MH Premium Brown and Muirhouse Chocolate Mild on as guests. A good selection with most of it fairly local.
A very good spot for a pint on the way up.

If you are struggling up the steep climb to Canning Circus,this is the perfect place to rest a while.A shop conversion with fine high windows,the interior decor has been well designed with lots of pictures relating to films or books,a mix of furniture with a good banquette by one front window,a small bookcase with the bar towards the back.The lighting has been brought down from a very high ceiling,and creates a good ambiance.This is the tap for Scribblers ales,but there will also be guests amongst the 8 real ales,there is a 20p CAMRA discount while ale is priced by ABV.My Scribblers One Special Brew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was a very good IPA,and there was a mix of styles and strengths.There was a warm and enthusiastic welcome,I would definitely return and it can compete in the red hot real ale scene of Canning Circus.

This is a fantastic addition to Nottingham's real ale scene and especially the "Derby Road Crawl". located opposite the hand and heart and a few shops down is a o long narrow one roomed pub with high sealing and the bar at the back. There are eight hand pulls on the bar dispensing beers and several boxes of real cider. all cider is £3.50 (even the 7.5% stuff) while beers are priced by strength 4.1 and under is £3.20, 4.2%-4.6% is £3.40 and so on. I tried Shipstones Nut Brown and it was in a brilliant condition. half are usually their own scribblers ales and half guests from local micros. This in my opinion probably the better of the two city center micro pubs and definitely worth a visit.
