This Christmas we are your home for festive cheer. We’re bringing all the sparkle, all the fun and all the feels. Whether it’s a work’s do, a catch-up with mates or a place to come and watch the football, our pub is where Christmas truly feels like home!
Soak up our friendly service and homely charm here at the Johnson Arms in Dunkirk, Nottingham. The pub has stood proudly on the side of the river Leen since it was called the Abbey Tavern in the 1860s, before Frank Johnson bought the building in 1904 and renamed it the Johnson Arms. We’re the perfect place to sit back, relax with your favourite drink in hand. Enjoy 20p off each Cask-conditioned ale straight from the brewery, with our CAMRA discount.
Looking to host an event or private party? We've got FREE venue hire at weekends. Looking ahead to New Years Eve, you can hire the whole pub for your very own exlusive New Years Eve party! Almost any occasion is possible here at The Johnson Arms. We're just at the end of the phone, so give us a call!
Our rear garden is tucked away yet provides plenty of sunny spots for friends and family to get together.
You’ll feel immersed in our charming oasis in any season, sit back and enjoy.
RAISING THE BAR
Our bar is fully stocked with the best selection of your favourite drinks! From world lagers to spirits, wines to cocktails and every tipple in-between.
Join us for a fleeting cocktail with a friend, a quiet pint at the bar, or celebrate the big occasion and start your weekend with high spirits. No matter what you fancy, we’ll have something to tickle your tastebuds every time.
Located on Abbey Road in the Dunkirk area of Nottingham, the Johnson Arms sits opposite the Queen’s Medical Centre hospital and is just down the road from Nottingham University.
Enjoy the hustle and bustle of the locals passing by as you take your favourite seat. Whether you’ve been exploring the high street or just wanting a pub outing – we’ll see you soon.
This is our lovely Niamh showcasing the brand-new Tulipa Raspberry Malt Seltzer, fresh in from Little Star Brewery — the home of Shipstones, Hollowsone and Hockley Hells.
Light, crisp and sitting at a very sensible 4%, it’s perfect if you want something refreshing without going too heavy as the weekend begins.
Not sure? Just ask for a taste. You’ll know after the first sip. It’s one of our favs! 🩷
See you at The Johnson Arms 🍻
