Opened in December 2014 and now owned and run by the publican in partnership with Magpie Brewery. Single roomed micro pub on two levels, close to the Upper Parliament Street end of Hurts Yard. The U-shape offers the feel of two distinct areas, with unobtrusive background music. Some parts of the premises date back to the 1800's. The cellar extends to Angel Row, and is possibly part of the Nottingham Caves system. Five handpumps dispense at least one Magpie beer with others sourced from other microbreweries country wide. There are also several taps dispensing keg beers and real ciders.

Historic Interest

The Barrel Drop is located in Nottingham City Council's Old Market Square Conservation Area.

[Nottingham City Council; Bridge Ward / Nottingham South Parliamentary Constituency]
