Junkyard Pour House

Junkyard Bottle Shop & Pour House, 12 Bridlesmith Walk, Nottingham NG1 2HB

Located at the top of a steep alleyway leading from Nottingham’s bustling town centre to the historic Lace Market district, the Junkyard Pour House is a must-visit for craft beer lovers. Despite its unassuming facade, this taproom reveals itself to be much larger than expected once inside. Having recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, the Junkyard has cemented its place as a local favourite in a city renowned for its dynamic craft beer scene.

With 15 rotating taps that are expertly curated, the Junkyard offers a beer for every palate. Whether you’re craving a crisp lager, a refreshing wheat beer, hoppy pale ales, or indulgent stouts, this taproom has you covered. Sour fans will be pleased with the variety on offer, and if you’re lucky, you might even get to sample a rare imperial stout from across the pond. Regular tap takeovers ensure that even frequent visitors are greeted with something new each time.

For those who prefer bottled or canned beer, the fridges are stocked with an impressive selection from the UK’s top breweries. The knowledgeable and friendly staff are always on hand to guide newcomers through the extensive menu, ensuring a welcoming experience for all.

Beyond the beer, the Junkyard excels in its food offerings. From gourmet burgers to tempting pizzas and bar snacks, the menu caters to both carnivores and vegans alike. Surprisingly, the food is such a hit that some patrons visit more for the bites than the brews. The reasonable prices only add to its appeal, making it a great spot for both lunch and dinner.

On a sunny day, the secluded sun-terrace at the back is the perfect place to enjoy a drink and catch some rays. While this hidden gem may not draw the same crowds in the colder months, it’s still a cosy retreat year-round with its relaxed vibe and warm friendly service.

Open daily from noon until midnight (and until 1am on weekends), the Junkyard Pour House is the ideal spot to sample the best of Nottingham’s craft beer scene. Whether you’re a beer aficionado or just looking for a chilled-out place to unwind, the Junkyard never disappoints.
