Originally a Beeston Brewery Co house, it was later owned by Shipstones of Nottingham. Formerly the Unicorn & Star, it was always known as the 'Top House' to locals, and the name was formally changed in 2003. A corner pub with a very good Victorian brick exterior, including a good range of outbuildings at the rear. It retains a two-room interior of traditional character. On the left is a large boisterous basic bar with sports TVs, darts and pool. Front-right is a quieter cosy lounge, but this also has a TV for sport. Currently, no real ale is served.

Misleading Dispense

This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.

This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.

If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.
