Best Sports bars in United Kingdom

This was a shell of its former self. Lacking any personality as a bar, I think it's meant to be a sports bar, as there was screens everywhere, but I'm not sure. The beer was dreadful, and the service was poor. Sad times.

Great venue to watch sport. There was a good vibe and a relaxed atmosphere with good service.

Katie was a great host at the horn in hand. We had the bottomless brunch and was not disappointment!! The drinks kept coming and the food was great. Thank you for a great afternoon and top class service 🙂🙂 excellence host for sure!!

Excellent vegan and vegetarian food all at really good prices. The service is very quick and friendly and the atmosphere is great, plus it's just around the corner from Rock City and the rescue rooms! Highly recommended

I have been here many times. Great pub with good selection of drinks and great atmosphere. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.Ate here last night before going to Rock City. The food was good and it came out quickly. One of our group was Gluten free and was well catered for. Definitely recommend. Also some deals with a drink included!

Possibly one of the best pubs we've been in. Delicious food, great service, wonderful atmosphere.

Booked here for Bottomless Brunch. Picked it because the price (£29) was good, they had sport on and because it was good value at 2hrs rather than the more common 90 minutes, that many other establishments offer.

What I didn’t expect was the level of service we received. The staff were fantastic and attentive. We never had to wait for our drinks and the food came out quickly. The staff were friendly and quick to have a laugh with us.

The selection of food and drinks was good and we left thoroughly happy and with plans to return.

Thank you to the staff who worked Saturday 18th Nov’ 2023 👏🏼

Lovely lady behind the bar went out of her way to make us feel very welcome. Food was really great too.

Waited an hour for food to then be told they didn’t have the ingredients and offered a refund. We asked twice over that hour about where our food was and was repeatedly told by the same rude member of staff that our food was on its way and that the kitchen was backed up.

One of Nottingham's most underrated places. The vegan options at The Horn in Hand are fantastic and the portions are more than enough with super reasonable and affordable prices. Seems like that have some great deals on through the week too- we went on a Thursday where cask, craft, and cocktails were £3.50 (with craft including Beaverton beers which are typically easily £6)! Definitely one to go back to.

We hired a table at Shooters from 19:30-22:30. We normally go to Riley's pool centre but decided to give Shooters go. Upon arrival there were people sat on all the table as the football was on, there was also beer glasses all over the tables. We were told it would calm down after the football. Once the football had finished the music was put on and turned up to nuclear level. The table that we were given was next to a wall so you couldn't play certain shots as the cue hit the wall. The table also had a lean due to people sitting on it, this meant you could not play slow shots, the cues we were given were bent. We were supposed to have table service throughout our evening, this happened once and then we didn't see the girl who was supposed to be serving us again for an hour so we decided to get our own drinks, she came back after we got our own drinks and laughed and said "you`re ahead of me" and we never saw her again. As the table is situated next to the bar and dance floor you constantly get drunken revellers approaching asking to play, we then had to keep explaining that we hired the table and this lead sarcastic comments and dirty looks from the increasingly battered punters. This is not a place to play pool, this is a pub with a pool table. I would have given zero stars but you have to give one. If you want to play pool without being hassled and you would like to easily get drinks through out the night and talk without shouting go to Riley's. I will never come here again.

Revising my previous review. Had 2 positive visits to watch football and thought why not try a pool night. We normally go to Rileys but didn't think we had much to lose by trying here. Well, it was a very poor choice. £60 for the booking but when I arrived it was chaos. They allocated a pool table right next to the rammed bar and there were a lot of people sat on it. After my friends arrived we all knew this had been a mistake, I asked for a refund and this was refused. "You're not giving me what I paid for" I said, "We've never done a refund before" was what I was told. Eventually enough people cleared out to enable us to use the table and we made the best of it but we got hassled throughout the night by extremely drunk people who were annoyed they couldn't just put down a quid and play. To explain, we literally had to shout due to volume of the music in there. It was an amusing experience but in all the wrong ways. Mortified that I arranged this farce. It's probably great if you're mid 20's and looking for stag and hen do atmosphere. We're all 45 and I should have known better. Back to Rileys then

It's a great place to book for large parties. They give you nice food and play decent music and all is fine.
And then it gets later in the night and the music volume just seems to go up and up and up to the point where I have to shout into someone's ear in order for them to hear me. How is this necessary? My hearing literally feels worse because of this. I'm genuinely concerned for the hearing of people going to these places because they'll be surprised to find they can't hear properly down the line.

I covered my ears and could still hear the music perfectly fine. I'm standing 10 metres from the entrance as I type this and I can hear the music as if I was in a room with it.
It's frustrating because I was having a great time until it felt like my ears might start bleeding.

Went with a group of friends to watch the England game. Upstairs has a massive screen along with lots of smaller ones which makes this a great place to watch the sport. With that being said, the service was appalling. Waited 45 minutes for our first round and that was a short wait in comparison. Complete table service was a poor strategy from the manager on shift as downstairs allowed bar orders and was fairly swift. But when we asked for service to our table it never arrived. Despite repeatedly going to ask for service we were turned away abruptly. Only 2 orders were placed in the 3 hours we were at Shooters. Maybe it’s not like this all the time but poor management and slow waiters who were dismissive and unhelpful made this a poor visit.

Staff didn’t care enough. Sometimes you need to wait 15-20 min just to get fresh beer.

Great facilities, big screens, decent selection of beer.

But there was one party that kept screaming unnecessarily and none of the staff made any efforts to address them or ask them to leave. Really spoiled the game since they weren't even watching it and shouting in anticipation toward it, just being drunken idiots, at 1.30pm. I run a bar and would have talked to them, asked them to quiet down, and if that had no effect would have cut them off and asked them to drink up or leave.

Doubt I'll go back or visit other bars in the chain.
