Nottingham is an enormously fun city
You just have to know where not to go. It's like any other town in that respect. The main difference is that is the worst parts of Nottingham, rather than risking a good mugging, you will definitely be murdered

I know full well not to go in Nottingham.
Basically: all of it. And the hotel room I stayed in had clearly had a murder/seriously foul sexual practice committed in it.

They did have a good rock bar though.

I always say "Nottingham Rock City" as it's where I grew up
The Reflex there is particularly good if it's nostalgia you're after, which it sounds like you might be. Otherwise there's a pub a little way out of town called the Pitcher & Piano which is a converted church, it's fucking brilliant.

Isn't there a pub that's carved into the city wall or summat like that?

Pitcher and Piano is a chain
