Staff picks from the keg wall 🍻

🍫 Brew York: S’more Tonkoko (Stout): gooey, chocolatey, marshmallow goodness. Dangerously moreish.
🔥 Delphic x Phantom: I’m Made of Wax, Larry (DIPA): big, bold, nostalgic. Like peak-era DIPAs done right.

Plenty of others. Taplist always live on website & Untappd!

2016 called… we answered. 📞🍻

From a simpler bar and fewer taps to more beers than ever, countless events, and a rock-solid community we’re proud to call home.

Talking of dates… save this one: Thu 19 Feb — birthday knees-up incoming. 🎉🍺

🫗📍 On today.

10 years of the keg wall. 🍻

From then to now - a lot’s changed since those early taps went in & we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🙂

To think the same Tasha who sold us Little Things That Kill back then is now pulling pints behind the bar...some things come full circle. ⭕️

It’s officially mulled cider season at the Nag’s. 🔥🍎

Spiced Bumblebee cider + a healthy glug of rum = the winter warmer you deserve.

The pub’s cosy, the lights are twinkling, and seasonal beers are landing on the taps all week. 🍻✨

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! 🦃🍻

Feeling extra grateful today for everyone who makes The Nag’s what it is: the friends made, the memories built, the pints shared. You make this place special.

Throwback to our huge Thanksgiving feast 10 yrs ago… bonus points if you can guess the chef. 👀🔥
