This famous historic pub is hewn out of the rock on which Nottingham castle stands. Previously known as the Pilgrim, no one knows for sure how long an inn has stood on this site. There are 4 bars and sitting rooms downstairs and two further rooms upstairs. One of these, the Rock Lounge, has a case containing the infamous Cursed Galleon; a number of people are reputed to have died after trying to clean it! The Museum Room has a tapestry depicting the history of Nottingham. The pub can get crowded, as it is very popular with tourists. For those feeling peckish the pub serves breakfast in the morning, and a large selection of starters, main meals and desserts until 8pm. Outside, there is a courtyard and a seated pavement area. The unusual game of 'ring the bull' is in the front bar. To be refurbished March 18 to include bars o/s & upstairs alomg wit a disabled toilet.
