One of Nottingham's last examples of a corner door pub with a curved door opening out directly on to the corner. Unashamedly a local boozer with two rather austere rooms. One unused hand pump; cask ale taken out due to lack of demand.
Historic Interest
A Victorian former Home Ales pub, the Vine Inn is one of the last surviving street corner pubs in St. Ann's / Sneinton, having survived the post WWII clearances in the area.
The Vine Inn is in Nottingham City Council's Sneinton Market Conservation Area.
A three-storey public house, probably built 1850s with the main door to “lounge” on a curved aspect facing the junction of Liverpool Street and Handel Street, with a large vine mural sign above the door. Brick with white stucco finish, slate roof. “Bar” door on Liverpool Street.
One bricked-up third floor window on Liverpool Street. Some original sash windows and window frames to upper floors. First floor windows have stone heads denticulated on the underside and supported by small scrolls. Chimneys capped.
Two neighbouring properties on Handel Street, Nos 29 and 31 appear to be part of the same original build (group value).
