Olde trip to Jerusalem

Hailed as the oldest Inn in England this pub serves a community of old men, tourists and students. Built into the caves underneath Nottingham castle- this little place dates from the crusades and has its own brand of clothing with the mark of the oldest inn in the world. Tacky to be sure but the place has an authentic feel about it with tiny corridors, nooks and crannies glalore all bathing in the half glow of candles as the light is rather dim. There are two beer gardens and dispite the size it is easy to get a little disorientated. Eventually i find the bar- a small hoel in a walla nd find spirit and mixer to be £2.50. Not the best on price btu then its all just novelty and once its warn off and you’re no longer afraid for the four something ghosts that supposedly haunt the place you can head of down the road in search of newer pastures.

Overall a novel 5/10 but it would get old quickly.

    Cant believe your rating this place a 5, the place is an institution and one of the few surviving real pubs left. O.k they sell tourist stuff, but so what everyones gotta make a living.Its got great atmosphere, good service,good beer and a sense of history.
    I also noticed that you rated Salduba in Puerto Banus with a 5, how can you possibly compare the two, how are you doing your ratings?
    Salduba is full of tossers, the staff are so rude its laughable, the drinks are so overpriced the management should be up on theft charges, I dont know how you can possibly rate the two the same, can you please explain your reasoning to me? thanks
