Join us for the ultimate Bank Holiday send-off as we celebrate the last long weekend of the summer in style.
Whether you’re catching up with friends, rounding up the family, or just making the most of the extra day off, there’s no better place to be. Sip on 2 for £12 Aperol Spritz, explore our great selection of beers and wines, and soak up the atmosphere all weekend long.
If the sun’s shining, even better – it’s the perfect excuse to grab a drink and settle in. Good vibes, great drinks, and plenty of reasons to stay for one more…
A traditional family-friendly pub
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.
Find your new favourite pour
Our bar is bursting with all your favourite drinks. From world lagers and tasty spirits to wines, cocktails, and everything in between… yep, even Buzzballs!
Swing by for a speedy cocktail with your bestie, a chilled-out pint at the bar, or go big for celebrations and game days. Whatever you’re craving, we’ve got something that’ll make your tastebuds do a little happy dance 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.
