Yarn in Nottingham

Always an excellent choice of beer on hand pump or craft from Castle Rock or Nottinghams smaller but just as good breweries. It can get busy before a show but it's never a problem.It is still a nice place for a pint, varied craft ales and tasty snacks. Upstairs there is a terrace and few tables outside.

A great location for a pre-show pint, however the food and service (not by all the staff, I must add) were both terrible.We really like Castle Rock as a whole so this was really disappointing!We ordered 3 small plates (which they somehow charged £16.95 for). ‘Small’ is not an exaggeration.Halloumi fries - 6 tiny, burnt, shrivelled bits of halloumi which tasted more of charcoal than they did cheese. They were supposed to come with a mint and sriracha dip which never arrived, so I had to go to the bar and ask for some kind of sauce to rehydrate the halloumi. The woman behind the bar reluctantly passed me some sauce slopped into/all over the side of a ramekin.Beetroot arancini - I have nothing to say about this other than don’t order it. Soggy rice, no breadcrumbed outer, very under seasoned.Loaded nachos - Granted, with this one we were slightly awkward in asking for no chilli (con carne) as we’re vegetarian, however I didn’t think this would be too much of an issue, and if anything would save them money/food? When the bowl arrived, I was surprised to see plain tortilla chips with just few bits of grated cheese sprinkled on top. I mentioned that we asked for the nachos without the chilli but they’ve also taken away the salsa, guacamole and sour cream. The woman came back from the kitchen and basically said it was my fault because it had been put through the till as just plain nachos (we were still charged the same price and we definitely didn’t order plain nachos). We eventually got the 3 aforementioned dips thrown (literally) onto the nachos.The other person we were with ordered a pizza. The dough was undercooked and stodgy. The tomato base was wazzy, thin and barely covered the slices. The cheese was about 3 pizzas worth of cheese and almost thicker than the bread.Very different to any other Castle Rock pub. Most of the younger staff were really nice and friendly. Unfortunately, the woman that served us food had a bit of an attitude problem.

Great service friendly staff and a really clean place to sit and drink, it's situated at the theatre royal so it does have 15- 20 minute rush on if there's an interval from a show, but still worth a visit.

Busy bar full of theatre folk, good place to meet great beer

Tradition local ales good prices ,great place for drink and chat

We didn't like it. £10.80p for a pint of bitter and small prosecco. Bar staff very matter of fact. Hardly any choice on the menu.

Very nice never been in for just a drink before without a show will go again

Unfortunately they put bar menus on the tables and when you ask for something they haven't got it. Seems they need to improve on the food side of things, it's not like they are busy on a Friday. The bar lady was a little blunt and unfriendly, and probably needs to do a course in how to talk to customers.

Staff here are always really helpful, even when there’s a busy theatre rush. Last week with about 20mins to go before the show they managed to cook us a fresh pizza in time. Lovely pizza too!

Popped in for a drink and and some food. Cider was lovely but the vegetable pizza I had, was mainly covered in hard butternut squash and had no taste. Was missing onions and mushrooms. Was not worth the money.
