The Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem

About

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a historic pub located in Nottingham, England, not London. It claims to be one of the oldest pubs in England, with a purported establishment date of 1189. However, this date is not verified, and the oldest parts of the building likely date back to the early 17th century. The pub is built into the sandstone rock beneath Nottingham Castle, featuring cave-like rooms that were originally used as a brewhouse for the castle. The pub's name is derived from the belief that it was a stop for pilgrims or crusaders journeying to Jerusalem. The name "Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem" first appeared in 1799. Today, the pub is a Grade II listed building known for its unique atmosphere and historical artifacts, including a "cursed galleon" and a "pregnancy chair." It offers a traditional pub experience with games like "Ring The Horn" and serves as a popular tourist destination.
