Barley Twist, Castle Rock Brewery, Nottingham

About

The Barley Twist is a two-floor craft beer bar and wine cellar, housed in a former sweetshop on Nottingham’s Carrington Street.

On the ground floor you’ll find a one-room bar featuring original brickwork walls and high ceilings. A large TV displays train departure times from the nearby Nottingham station. Downstairs, a rustic cellar bar provides the perfect hideaway to enjoy a drink, in a cosy and relaxing atmosphere.

The Barley Twist’s carefully curated drinks offering showcases the craft of artisan products, from small-batch local beers to natural wines and rare sharing bottles. If you’re in a hurry, pop by for 30% off cans and bottles to takeaway.
