One of Nottingham's finest sporting pubs, with Sky Sports and ESPN on tap, as well as delicious local cask ales and the rest. There's also waitering service now so you don't even have to get off your backside to get the drinks in. We like.

Real ale drinkers in Nottingham have an absolute gem on their very doorstep in the Trent Navigation Inn. Stylishly furnished inside, this fine Victorian stocks 13 real ales, some of them brewed by their own fair hands on site. They are big on their cricket and will be hosting special Ashes deals throughout the summer including a full English breakfast to set you up for a day of pleasant pints with the sound of wood, willow and anguished Aussies going on in the background. Well worth a visit.

With 3 screens showing live sport on Sky all day, every day, there is more than enough of an excuse to head down to the Charlton Arms to watch your favourite team in action. There's also a super beaut beer garden and a menu that'll have you salivating from the start.

Darts, pool, late night closing times and ginoferous screens are just a few reasons why you should head to Riley's to watch all the big games. There are so many activities available, I just don't know if you'll have enough time. With cheap booze and great food to boot, there's not a lot more you could ask for, except a hot tub and bikini clad waitresses maybe...but seriously, if you're stuck for ideas, ring up your mates and get down to Riley's for match days. You'd be silly not to.

Located, wait for it, SLAP BANG in between The City Ground and Trent Bridge on the banks of the River Trent, this bar couldn't be better placed to serve you up a delicious pint with some great sport whether summer or winter. The Southbank has had a lovely new refurb and now boasts things like booths with HD screens built in to them (ooooh!). Seriously this is a cracking spot that is dedicated to showing sport. They have some great breakfasts and light lunches on offer and a top selection of real ales. It's a real favourite in the city and it's easy to see why!

Located in the Old Market Square in the heart of Nottingham, this pub is sports crazy and can boast 7 HD screens to catch the action on. They show everything from footy to F1, rugby to horse racing - it's a sports fan's haven. Food is good and wholesome with Sunday lunch an option, as well as delicious Navigation real ales to wash it all down with. British Lions fans would do well to take note of this place, as they will be opening early for all the games on this summer's tour down under.

Traditional local with an emphasis on showing sports fixtures live on Sky. The staff are friendly and on match days, the pub is packed and the atmosphere is electric.
