Moby Duck left this review about Canalhouse
A pub situated within an old canal side warehouse and indeed as previously mentioned part of a canal dock is within the pub itself.The pub space is open plan and roomy despite being fairly busy. Six handpumps offering a range with Castle Rock being prevalent my choice being their Screech Owl.
A decent pub with an added novelty factor.

Through the entrance of the Canalhouse is a bridge that crosses the canal, and a canalboat, certainly a new one on me. The bar area is open plan with a bar counter along the rear wall that faces lots of standing room. In amongst the keg are six hand pumps that were drawing four from Castle Rock alongside Vocation’s Tonka Frappe and Abbeydale’s Menelaus. It was reasonably quiet during my recent Wednesday evening visit, I imagine it fills up with the younger inhabitants of the city during the weekend.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Canalhouse
Another Castle Rock pub close to Nottingham railway station, this one is much bigger than Barley Twist, where I'd just come from.
Once inside, it is immediately obvious that the pub is arranged around the canal. This must surely be the only pub in the country with a canal barge floating in it? A bridge takes you over to the bar where there is a spacious area with seating. More seating can be found by crossing back over the canal over a second bridge.
Castle Rock Harvest Pale is the regular beer here. In addition, there was Castle Rock Screech Owl, Our House & Oatmeal Stout, RedWillow Effortless & Siren Memento. The real cider range seems to have been reduced somewhat since my last visit in 2018. Although, they still had Sandford Orchards Devon Scrumpy & 3 from Lilley's - Mango Cider, Rhubarb Cider & Pina Colada Cider.
Toilets are a bit of a trek up two flights of stairs. Still a good pub, but I scored it a 9/10 in summer 2018. This time it's probably a 7.5. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt with an 8/10.
