It seems to have a good atmosphere and never seems to be anyone having any issues.<br /><br />Glad to hear they have some bitter and bottled ales. They didn't last time i popped in but i'm all for them moving with their clientbase which is always the sign of a well managed bar/ pub. <br /><br />Hopefully i'll see you in there JackLiamHallamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700946167253493076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791690424524544004.post-48092533260561099272012-08-05T16:00:52.332+01:002012-08-05T16:00:52.332+01:00i've been here many a time with family and fla...i've been here many a time with family and flat mates since they opened and me and my friends have only got positive things to say about the place, living in the halls across the road myself it's a perfect place to chill in the evening, have a meal and/or a few drinks. I think the comment above isn't really accurate as i've never had a problem with any of the drinks and the cocktails are lush. I expected most of the customers to be students, purely because of the location, but it was nice to see locals as well, especially during the day. Also liam, having read your comment, you'll be happy to hear they sell some bottled ales and have a bitter on draught now :) overall i'd say it's a lovely place, the staff are really nice and i'm sure ill be headed there again, actually i know i'll be headed there again!Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791690424524544004.post-76816392459121093342012-05-14T13:12:50.844+01:002012-05-14T13:12:50.844+01:00Thanks for your comment.

Yes the Graduate Bar has a student client base but it doesn't seem to be limiting iteself to just being a student bar.<br /><br />I was disappointed when I went in and couldn't get any bitter or aleLiamHallamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700946167253493076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791690424524544004.post-74204157152083313902012-05-12T20:10:25.146+01:002012-05-12T20:10:25.146+01:00My experience here was absolutely rubbish.

I bought a 'mojito' for £4.50 which consisted of soda water, rather than lemonade, two cubes of ice, rather than crushed, and mint syrup, rather than fresh mint. This is not a mojito but a sub-standard version aimed at making profit. I pointed out to the manager that just because i'm a student, this does not mean that i don't know what a good drink is. He then said that The Graduate is not a student bar, so i'd probably give it a miss if you are one of the THOUSANDS of students living in Nottingham. It's not like it's surrounded by student halls of residence or anything. . . When i politely asked the manager if i could have another drink, he refused. When i asked for my money back, he refused. He said that the drink i was served was their 'version of a mojito.' He said he had been bar tending for ten years, and therefore his knowledge was superior to mine. Anyone ever had a mojito with soda and syrup? BACK TO THE ACADEMY YOU TOOL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
