Work has started on creating a new music micropub on Mapperley Top, which aims to start pulling pints next month.
The Blues Dawg is being opened by Ralph Glover, with the name for the venue being taken from the new owner’s love of blues music and also dogs.
The Blues Dawg will occupy the former Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance shop on Woodborough Road and is hoping to start pulling pints for the public from September 14.
The venue will specialise in selling local real ales with four to five hand pulls available. They will also stock ciders, wines and bottled lager.
Owner Ralph said: “I’ve recently moved back to Mapperley and always felt a micro pub would be perfect up on Mapperley Top, fitting in well with the other pubs and bars on the strip.
“Having run a micro pub before, I thought I would set one up on my own.
“The name came from my love of blues and dogs so there will be bit of live music weekly and the pub will be dog friendly.
Ralph added: “I am currently doing the renovations with help from friends and now hoping to be ready for opening by the weekend of September 14.”
Looks good. I’ll be staggering out at some point
