Reviews of The Dragon
Lovely narrow bar. The outside feature is brilliant with flowers around, sheltered from the rain and have heating lamps on each table if you feeling a bit chilly.
Selection is wide and have a few range of single malt whisky but at a price, 35ml though....
In Nottingham for a gig. Tried The Dragon. Absolute gem. What I call a 'proper pub'. We tried the Guinnes and a Twist and Stout from a local brewery. Two excellent pints. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Pop in if you like a good pint! Loved that they have cheese and onion cobs on the bar. If only we hadn't just been for dinner!
One of the nicest pubs around the Market Square. Really friendly staff, decent range of drinks. It's fairly small, although it does have an outside area at the back for warmer days. Can be busy Friday/Saturday night, but even so we managed to get a table. Just a good, no-frills pub in the city centre, which is quite a rare fine. Feels safe here too.
It's a pub called The Dragon - instant win!
This pub remains one of the best in the city, lovely traditional pub, great seating out the rear, inside it's a bit of a narrow pub so long seats against the walls, with stools the other side of each table, up near the bar, but large open area as you walk in the front door - as used to be a coach house... - it's a busy place too, but fast friendly service...
Love this little.pub..Great that we still have it. Very quirky, welcoming, & the staff actually know how make drinks properly, which is a rarity nowadays..
Music was spot on kn Saturday night too..had a good little boogie. 👌 💃🕺🎶😃🥳
It's a relaxed pub hidden away just off the square. I've never tasted the food so I won't comment on that. I go here for the atmosphere and the company.
I love the Dragon. Its a pub, pub. Great atmosphere and DJ's. Fantastic tiny beer garden. Always a good time to be had and very chilled out. . Love it
Nice place, seems to have lots of space out the back but quite narrow in the actual Bar area. We only had drinks but a well ran Bar.
Great atmosphere, came here most days after work pre lockdown. Great to be back.
We went to the racing room for a 15th birthday and it was truly amazing
The Dragon is the coolest place in Nottingham... if you like quirky bars this one is the one... Great selection of Beers and a great DJ who plays me the " Go Betweens " on vinyl... if you ask him nicely 😉class.....
Great pub in the centre of town. Dark and cosy areas mixed with bright outside seating. A good choice of draught beers with a selection of bottles. Great staff. Looking forward to the return of the DJ at weekends.
Great pub at a great location. Staff are soo nice and the place always has a great atmosphere, with the locals always up for a chat and soo friendly. I love stopping here for pint, and i would definetely reccomend it for anyone of all ages.
Nice pub ,would have given it 5 stars ,but it's a tad small. Beer .spot on!
Love this place, great selection of drinks and the outside space at the back is brilliant.
Very busy, but for a good reason. Nice selection of beers, excellent staff.
My son took me here for my birthday wonderful atmosphere everyone enjoying themselves
Lovely little pub with an amazing outdoor area. Super clean, friendly staff and great prices
Nice pub in the centre of Nottingham, often overlooked but a nice place to while away a couple of hours. We sat in the beer garden at the back, which is quirky rather than picturesque.
Always a pleasure here. Friendly staff, drinks priced reasonable for location and the addition of the canopy with lights in the garden is a great example of how the management are committed to investing in the pub. Will always be a favourite not-so-secret spot for me!
Great atmosphere, music and range of drinks. Could not ask for more. Love the place.
Like to meet up here when going out in town. Can get busy. Probably not ideal if you have any physical disabilities as there are few steps up to bar and toilets and to sit outside.
Enjoy it when the dj on playing some vinyl tunes at weekend.
Staff very efficient and friendly and good choice of drink spot on
Always liked The Dragon but called in yesterday lunchtime for a quick half and was super impressed with the recent refurbishments. The place is looking really, really good. I’d say this is now the best pub in Nottingham City Centre. Beer was top notch and garden looking beautiful too.
Great Pub, and the Upstairs Garden is amazing.
Nice place, food was tasty but dry, crispy around edges like it had been kept warm for a some time. Vegetables were nice and fresh though.
Had a great meal here. Friendly, helpful staff.
A very pleasant surprise at the back with an excellent beer garden to relax with a beer or two
A stunning and fantastic Pub with great Staff and excellent quality beers would recommend it to anyone
Fine old pub, nice staff, good beer choices. Nice atmosphere.
Beautiful secret beer garden in the centre of town 😀
Relaxed pub with atmosphere and some great real ales.
I also understand they have a cracking disco some nights .
Simply different. This is a lovely place for visit in UK. Just go you have to see with your own eyes. It is a particular place in the countryside.
Really nice place, always a good atmosphere
Friendly helpful staff
Great pint of neck oil. Loved the quirky decor
What a fantastic pub. Popped in here one Saturday night once restrictions had lifted slightly. The staff/Landlady were fantastic, couldn't do enough for you. They had quite a busy night when we went in but we never really had to wait long for drinks. Thought the staff did a great job whilst having to deal with Covid guidelines etc. Would definitely go again. My only problem was we only went in for one or two and ended up staying a very long time ;) Next time please kick us out, might save my headache the next day :)
Great night, great music and atmosphere. Loved it.
Great service, friendly atmosphere, excellent pint of Guinness!! 10/10.
I love the Dragon. Good choice of drinks, friendly staff and customers. The only issue I've had is that sometimes when it's been busy is taken too long to be served.
I love the place so much with music and the bar stuff
Decent pub,great atmosphere and good prices.Worth a visit ✌️👍
Lovely beer and outdoor space.
Friendly staff, music too loud for me but the regular customers must like it. Well kept real ale.
Great catch up with old friends on St Patrick's day
Great pub, what more to say?
Absolutely best pub in Nottingham for music and atmosphere 👌
Got a good outside space at the back, with a cover so out of any rain. All covid safe with hand sanitiser and spacing. Always a good pub for a drink, good stuff on tap and lots of options. 10/10
Excellent pub for a night out x
Great outdoors space with heaters, a good selection of drinks and good music. Often a bit crowded at peak times but still a great place for a drink
Great Pub, friendly atmosphere with good rock and indie music. Good choice of beers on offer
Great little pub, although much bigger than it looks. Great choice of gins.
Amazing Bar Staff, quality selection of Ales, Larger & Spirits.
They’ve had an external and internal renovation done which really brightens up the place.
By far, my favourite local
Thanks Team
First time coming to this bar, can't believe I've never noticed it before. A lovely back garden area with enough heated lamps to keep everyone warm, staff were friendly and prices ain't too expensive
Music was much too loud for a small pub. Beer & staff were nice enough
Brilliant place made really welcome great landlady would recommend thanks Steve Baker and Bear Hucknall xxx
Just lovely. Dark and individual interior (who has the cactus fetish?) with laid back but efficient service. Small but quality selection of ales on keg, and prices very reasonable for the city centre. The secluded beer garden a la concrete is as much as you're going to get in the city centre and there's more than one indie album cover to be produced with that scenery.
Great crowd, great beer, reasonable prices and highly individual atmosphere. This is a great city centre boozer than resists the cookie-cutter and embraces a gentle acknowledgement that anything goes. Visit, enjoy, return, repeat.
Friendly atmosphere, good cider and great music.
Always a super friendly welcome, very relaxed pub, and very central. Seating inside and outside so great for all weather.
I've only recently stumbled across The Dragon, but it's quickly becoming one of my favourite pubs in town. They have a nice range of ales which is becoming a rarity these days, and enough largers, wines, bottles and spirits to keep anyone happy. Great music being played during my last visit, although this is dependent on taste!
Good options and attentive staff, myself and my girl friend had a bit of an uncomfortable experience but the bartender on duty was there like a champ, tall fellow with curly hair.
Good booze, nice seating and a surprisingly lovely beer garden/smoking area.
Excellent pub, great beer choice, top 80s tunes from the DJ
Great place, great atmosphere, proper hidden gem, great little beer garden out the back, great range of music whether the DJ is there or not, really relaxed with a non pretentious vibe, a real pub with great history! Don't think it's just an old mans pub! It really isn't!
Nice pub, friendly staff, good beer.
It's a nice little pub with an alternative edge to it. The beers are always good but seating gets crowded and being a small place can get really busy. They have a cracking little beer garden out back too. Live dj and music at times
Love the ambiance. They had some sort of Greek night going on, the food looked and smelled delicious. Music was good, service was spot on. My husband had first visited 30+ years ago and saw one of the old patrons he still knew walk in. Great place, a must visit each time we're in Notts
This is an okay place to go for a drink. However, it is more expensive than other pubs on the high street and the atmosphere is not a welcoming one.
Good music, nice atmosphere!
Lovely drinks on tap, lovely food, heat lamps near every table, and good tunes too. My go-to pub.
Good little town centre boozer. Small but quality range of cask beers and lagers and decent beer garden out back. Been drinking here for years and it's starting to show its age but the place Is still full of character.
Staff are always really nice, been here a lot of times but never had the food. Ordered the bacon and brie on ciabatta today and it was far from what expected, really really good, home made chips without a doubt, plenty of food on the plate and all round amazing, pleasantly surprised to say the least !
I love this pub. The garden is really beautiful at the moment. The hanging baskets are a sight to behold.
If you've been you don't need a review, if you haven't you need to go. It's a great place. One of the few original untouched bars left. The DJ even uses vinyl. 🍺🙂
Proper pub. Used to have best juke box in town and still plays great music.
11.1.20 update. Stopped in on way to see Fontaine's DC and we'll pleased I did. Great DJ set going on and brilliant start to the evening
Had a great time visiting The Dragon on my stag do last month. The landlady was very friendly and provided us with free shots. Couldn't have been better.
The bar and bar man of Italian Origin was Bob on
The Dragon is a great place to get a couple of beers or more!
They have a scalectrix setup that you can use, it has a cool little beer garden at the back.
The staff are cool and friendly, they have a few beers on tap and they play decent music.
A great pub.
Had a great time here when visiting Nottingham for a conference. The place was full of folks aged between 20 and 60. Real ale, wide selection of spirits and great food. A beer garden out the back for smokers too. Staff great.
Its a decent pub, gets busy at times on Friday and Saturday night. The outdoor area is good for smokers. Shame they don't change the beers more often.
Hidden gem of a pub in Nottingham City Centre. Small pub with a long, split-level interior with a laid-back ambience. Seating is a combination of bar stools and comfortable benches. There is a enclosed beer garden at the back with seating. Also has a race room containing a scalextric race track. Pub has race nights using the track. DJ was there on Thursday night.
always and will be my fave place to be,hope to see you all yet again!
Such a welcoming and comfortable place.
Distancing measures in place but still felt at home. Eden was especially friendly and made our night so comfortable.
I was visiting from America, and stopped into many pubs. My friends brought me to The Dragon and I was impressed 😊 We had a lovely time sitting up on the roof having drinks and sharing stories. I want to come back soon!
Excellent pub with great, non pretentious, tasty home cooked food. Chips just like mum used to make! Great any time of day.
Well looked after beer and nice friendly atmosphere, will definitely go back again.
Friendly place good drinks , little dated but clean.
Enjoyed this place it was small inside with a small bar area but we enjoyed it
Cozy, inviting, one of the only proper pubs left in Nottingham (no screaming kids and push chairs arranged as an assault course), smoking 🚬 area in the small but lovely courtyard with seating, good home cooking 🍳, coffee ☕, tea also served, polite staff who know how to run an establishment 9/10.
A small quirky pub. One of the best in town we thought.
One of my favourite pubs in Nottingham, brilliant atmosphere with an excellent choice of drinks. Also has a great outside space at the back.
Eclectic crowd, decent range of drinks, friendly staff, excellent music. A real gem.
Not been here in years but went over the weekend and there was lots to like. Good range of drinks, friendly staff and when he started a good DJ!
Great old pub g friendly bar staff
Great city centre pub. Lovely food. Lively atmosphere. Really friendly service. Would recommend highly.
Love this place. Been coming for years, proper pub.
Totally chilled great beer & excellent customer service
A great place with a really good beer selection and music. The place is like a TARDIS, deceptively small from the outside and pretty deep, with a beer garden to boot.
This place just felt right. Not too noisy and good music that suited our ages. small as in narrow but really pleasant. Good choice of drings from a quaint bar.
GREAT BEER SUPER STUNNING GIRL BEHIND BAR NOTHUNG WAS TOO MUCH VERY HELPFUL ..GREAT LASHES!
They play vinyl good vibes
Always a friendly welcome. I love this place so much
Warm, inviting pub. Friendly bar staff. On a Friday and Saturday evening the music played by the resident DJ is top draw. Worth a visit alone.
This is a lovely city centre pub. Good range of beers. Staff great.
Pop in for couple of pints today the staff was very welcoming and polite plus fast service will be popping back again
Open early hours of Sunday morning when we were fed up of clubs... Must be getting old!!
I've been a regular customer of The Dragon for 40yrs, friendly atmosphere
Quirky little pub in the centre of Nottingham. Great use of space and features in the rear beer garden. Even have a scale-electrics fit-out!
Best pint in town
If you like a pub this is the place to go
Great pub with good ale and fine food. The staff are awesome but best of all is the race room out the back...Scalectrix heaven
It's a good old fashioned boozer - nice little outdoor space; regular DJs; good beers; solid service.
Nice pub which is relaxed and friendly. Not pretentious and what you see is what you get.
Lovely atmosphere, great staff, not expensive with a lovely outside sitting area. It's a quirky little pub
Nice little pub with welcoming and polite staff
Got a table straight away, just good timing. Great friendly staff and made to feel welcome
Great place to visit, I have personally been drinking here for the past 20 years or so. Good friendly atmosphere, can get a little crowded at times.
Great range of beers, great staff, hasn't changed much since the early 80's and that's not a bad thing.
I pop In Thursday night to listen to the music played, always a good variety. Beer good also so that's a bonus!
Great atmosphere, DJ playing some great tunes.
Lovely pub, staff very welcoming
The dragon.... The dragon.... I sware I saw a dragon... No serriously cool bar... Staff cool but professional! Need heaters outside and I got wet.... The vibe is about the beer garden at the dragon... In my opinion, tlc.... Just alittle.... Il certainly be back! Don't forget about scalextrick........ In the shed... Naughty secret.... ;)
Love this pub, went on Saturday night. Music was fantastic and the atmosphere was buzzing
Great place, great atmosphere, great crowed, great music.
Happy and enthusiastic staff. Nice relaxed venue.
Lovely atmosphere and staff, good beers and a cool layout for a pint with friends
Top pub, like a little local in the town centre. Always good beer and friendly
Think Leaky Cauldron but in Nottingham. You would also be forgiven for thinking some of the late night clientele are ogres in disguise, and the vibe matches that: easy, chilled, and slightly Gothic. Lots of cacti are added bonus.
Good atmosphere nice selection of beers and spirits. Friendly bar staff.
Aunit has run this place for hmmmmm 14 years I think and provides a home away from home atmosphere. It's just far enough from market square to avoid the stag night crowd on a Saturday night.
Good pub. Can get a little crowded. Nice beer garden out back.
Nice pubwith different seating areas
The only pub with Mysore yoga practice at 6 30 am 😊 best place - peacefull vibes - hogh energy
Lovely establishment with great staff, good music and a friendly atmosphere.

Always a good atmosphere in here, a great place for a pint 👍
Great little pub, with a nice little outdoor seating area to the back, and a scearlectric raceing room.
Awesome pub with great Rock music and good selection of beer
Good cosy pub. Ale is always good as are the burgers. A night on the Scalextric is an excellent evening.
I had a wonderful time tonight, great music, fantastic bar staff
Great music on a Thursday night, with a good people...DJ Mole spins the vinyl that takes you down memory lane....👍
Good music, alright beer. Older crowd if you're into that sort of thing
Good choice of real ales but the pub was rather cold and dark. Toilets were acceptable.
Nice pub which place tracks form 80s and 90s. There is a beer garden also.
Great little bar. Changed a lot since last in there about 20 years ago mind

The revamped Dragon - lovely! Cleaner, brighter, lovely Loo's and a great outdoor space...love it;)
I honestly forgot I was in there but it's coming back now, a great DJ and decent pints.

Good range of beers, not too many seats though and it gets busy
Really really good spot. Welcoming and comfy boozer
