Come here for a great pub quiz on Tuesdays! Mostly general knowledge with a round of a random topic, questions aren’t too easy nor too hard, great vibe and well priced drinks! Alex does a great job with the

We hired one of the back rooms at the Playwright on the 22nd February for a small informal networking event. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, range of drinks/food and hospitality provided. The Playwright will be our go to location for future events - We highly recommend it.

Busy pub with the university crowd.A good selection of beers and a hand position for the theatre and city.

Called in because of the pizza oven. Ordered a margarita, tater tots and chicken wings with BBQ sauce. All of it was absolutely delicious and good value for money at £24. Fed two of us quite well for lunch. Was quiet when we walked in but soon got busy. Recommend if you’re up that end of town.

A lovely atmosphere and decent drinks. Food portions are tiny for how much they charge... The nice atmosphere makes up for it though.

First time in Nottingham, and I visited this amazing pub. I should say it should be in everyone's bucket list if you ever visit Nottingham. Friendly staff and swift service. They have a beer, Gatden, and a private area for special occasions.

Booked the two function rooms for my birthday gathering. Thomas, Isabel and Alex couldn't have been more helpful. Let us have our own music through the PA, let me set up my Playstation for a Tekken 3 tournament and were super welcoming. We ordered 14 pizzas which were delicious and they threw in a free one too. Great place and great team.

Please ignore the food as we didn’t eat but we attended the pub quiz and my word it was painful. The quizmaster was shouty, .read the questions far too fast and this quiz went on for an ETERNITY- don’t get me wrong, I love a good quiz and it’s the reason why we went but over 120 Qs and the picture round images were blurred making it ridiculous to even make out anything. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was a little echoey. I loved that there were donations for food banks. Just avoid the quiz - truly an awful experience
