Deemed to be unviable and sold by the pub’s former owners, the Gate Inn re-opened in December 2010 as a free house and has quickly established itself as a quality real ale outlet, winning Nottingham CAMRA’s Pub of Excellence award in 2011 and Nottingham CAMRA LocAle Pub of the Year in 2013. A truly welcoming and friendly local, this late 19th century pub has a bar and a lounge. The current owners are gradually renovating the pub and have added a skittle alley, rooftop terrace and an outside courtyard at the rear. In February 2016, the main bar was refurbished and an old fireplace rediscovered, which now houses a log burning stove. The doorway leading into the bar has been made into an archway. The Forty Arches room (front right) and Snug (front left) were refurbished in April 2017. Home of the Black Pigs Morris Men.
