micro-pub
A superb but minimalist conversion of an Edwardian cabbies' locker and rest room adjacent to the main railway entrance. Well worth a visit by rail passengers in need of refreshment, even though it is off-platform. As the railway station has its own tram stop it is also an excellent starting-off point for those wishing to try the pubs of Nottingham, Hucknall or Beeston. A small single ground-floor room with central bar and original features such as bench lockers, painted wooden panelling and window-frames. Recently re-opened as the sister pub to Brew Cavern and offering a rotating range of five cask and seven keg beers with an extensive selection of cans and bottles.
This pub is over-18s only, including sitting outside
Historic Interest
Brew Tavern is located in the old Cabman's Shelter and still retains some of the original features such as the driver's chest benches and coat-hooks. Part of the 1904 Midland Railway Station designed by AE Lambert and Charles Trubshaw in a Neo-Baroque style for the Midland Railway Company and now a Grade II* listed building (No.1271301). The station is constructed of a mixture of red brick, terracotta and faience (glazed terracotta) with slate and glazed pitch roofs over the main buildings, whilst the Cabman's shelter has a largely wooden frontage.The grandiose use of columns on the shelter facade and the use of traditional railway-style vertical wooden boarding links the functionality of the shelter to the grander architectural scheme. The railway station has an entry in Nottingham Pevsner pg.165 (E. Harwood 2008 / Yale U.P.). Brew Tavern is in Nottingham City Council's Station Conservation Area.
