Away Pub of the Week: The Canalhouse

The Canalhouse

The Canalhouse is an iconic Nottingham pub, housed in a Grade II listed former canal museum. It’s famous for having a canal that extends inside the building, complete with resident narrow boats and a foot bridge.

Located between Nottingham's transport hubs, Nottingham train station and Broadmarsh bus station, it is well placed for away fans visiting the city. A 20 minute walk to Meadow Lane, 25 minute walk to the City Ground with regular buses departing across the road towards both grounds.

In 2016 and 2017, the Canalhouse was awarded Ratebeer’s prestigious Best Beer Bar award for Nottingham. It is also the proud recipient of Visit Nottingham’s Tourism Pub of the Year Award, 2018. Recently, the Canalhouse was awarded silver for Pub of the Year at the 2025 Nottinghamshire Tourism Awards.

This trailblazing pub paved the way for Nottingham’s craft beer scene and is a must-visit venue for beer lovers. A versatile food menu is served daily, from pub classics and Sunday Roasts to changing specials.

With the canal as your backdrop, a large beer garden provides the perfect spot to while away the hours.
