Party-goers can hit the town and sip on a choice of drinks, dancing the night away at a bar situated in a 19th-century building
Whatever you do, don't visit the University Arms if you want a drink after 10.35PM on a Saturday night!
Visited here 21/09/2018. Arrived at 8pm and joined some friends. Spent £55-£60 between us and went to the bar to buy more drinks, only to be informed that they were not serving anymore, and this was at 10.32PM.
Following protest from one of our party, who pointed out that on the front doors it advertised open until at least 11pm, the bar staff relented and served us. They then proceeded to turn away 8-10 further customers saying they were closed and yet when a "familiar" face turned up at 10.55pm they served him... which smacks of favouritism or discrimination.
The bar staff were unable/incapable of giving a satisfactory explanation as to why they had "closed the bars", yet served at least 1 more person later.
Whatever you do give this pub a big miss. Beer great, bar staff totally incompetent and idiots!
This pub just is also closed all day on Sunday. Unbelievable in 2018... don't go here!

Excellent night. We enjoyed the food and the music. We were surprised that it wasn't packed. Such a relaxing, safe place. The staff were lovely - greeted with a smile. This will be our regular, forget city centre.

New landlady and staff. 100% improvement. Open every day on time, games on Tuesdays, pool Wednesdays, Bruno Fridays, free jukebox Saturdays, and now a naughty chair, all proceeds to given charity. All welcome.

I would like to say the manager has no idea on how to run a pub. He has no customer skills. When he pours a drink for a customer he doesn't even know when the lemonade has run out, and in my opinion he should not be in charge and working with members of the public.

On Abbeydale Road, great little bar with a warm, welcoming feel. Good wine, beer & spirit selection. Nice ambience.
We stopped by after work for a drink and stayed for dinner. The bao buns were amazing.

Went in the Three Tuns a couple of Saturdays ago. Since the pub initially closed in early 2017 there seem to have been several custodians, none of whom seem to be able to get the pricing or enough beer on or lager (if you drink that) on order. On my latest visit, once again there was a sign on bar advising waiting for delivery of lager, so short at the pumps!
Also the Three Tuns seems to have become a haunt for the "lairy", rowdy types who have been out all day on West Street getting well oiled, which completely ruins it for other customers.
To top it all there was a couple who were engaged in the most inappropriate simulated sex act, as near to the real thing as you will probably get in full public view, and during the whole episode the guy running the bar never said a thing or took any action. And from his point of view they didn't buy a single drink in nearly 2 hours!
This pub has completely gone to pot, I won't be going again any time soon and would advise others to think twice before forking out £3.60 for a pint of beer here... give it a miss!

Recently had a meal at the Swan, to spend money our quiz team had won. Excellent meal, good price, highly praised.
- Patricia Hallam,
What a joy to find a gluten-free menu alongside an equally-as-tasty choice on the ordinary menu. A revelation. Alongside superb views, friendly and helpful staff, tasty food and a whisky list to die for... enough said!

Masons Arms at Carson Road, Crookes, is a great pub, run by two young people, Matt and Karen, who are good friends of mine. They give the pub a youthful feel, energy and vibrant. Good people; good atmosphere. Really like the pub. Will keep going in. Needs support so go to the Masons Arms, Carson Road, Crookes. David Bernard.

Awful experience. Waited 1 hour 30 minutes for food that did not arrive. When dared to ask what was happening, was met by a torrent of abuse by owners.
In the local area they are well known for it apparently.
Avoid this establishment at all costs.
