The Tap 'N' Tumbler, Nottingham

A stone’s throw from Rock City and Nottingham Playhouse, the Tap 'N' Tumbler is a cornerstone of the city’s rock scene and a beloved grassroots venue. Known for its laid-back attitude, loud guitars, and warm welcomes, this central pub blends the spirit of a classic British local with the soul of a rock club.

By day, it’s a cozy spot to catch up over pub classics and craft ales, with a drinks menu that runs the gamut from real ales to fizz. By night, the amps get fired up. On weekends, the Tap transforms into a lively music venue showcasing rock, blues, and everything in between - a stage that gives a platform to local talent and touring acts alike.

When there’s no live band, you’ll find sports on the big screens, friendly faces behind the bar, and a dog or two curled under tables. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected, and the atmosphere makes it easy to settle in for the long haul. Whether you’re here for the music, the mates, or just a perfectly poured pint, the Tap 'N' Tumbler is Nottingham’s no-frills, full-throttle hangout where good times are guaranteed.
