The Embankment is a characterful Nottingham pub on Arkwright Street, offering much more than a quick drink. Its attractive, thoughtfully arranged interior gives guests plenty of ways to settle in, from communal tables and comfortable dining spaces to relaxed seating for an unhurried pint. The atmosphere feels sociable without being overwhelming, making it an easy choice for casual meetups, meals, and evenings out.
Beer lovers can explore a broad selection of independent real ales on tap, while the friendly team is known for being kind, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable about the venue and its drinks. Food is equally worth making time for. The double cheeseburger with homemade coleslaw and French fries is a standout choice, turning a familiar pub classic into a satisfying, carefully prepared meal. Vegan and gluten-free options also make the menu welcoming for guests with different dietary needs.
The Embankment has a lively programme of bands and gatherings, bringing extra energy to the venue throughout the year. As a flexible event and wedding venue, it can accommodate celebrations, private occasions, and larger get-togethers while retaining the warmth and character of a proper local pub. Visitors also appreciate the helpful staff, including their practical assistance for tourists and overnight motorhome guests using the Brit Stops network.
Whether you are seeking a well-poured ale, a generous meal, live entertainment, or a dependable place to celebrate, The Embankment is a worthwhile stop in Nottingham. Come for the varied seating and welcoming service, stay for the food and atmosphere, and leave with another reason to return.
