A Mansfield pub has reopened following a major refit and makeover. The Green Dragon, in Leeming Street, has opened its doors after a brief closure for the revamp.
The pub, which has been in the town centre for 60 years, is part of the Craft Union Pub Company, named the Best Community Operator at the 2022 Publican Awards.
The company has invested £216,000 in The Green Dragon. New screens have been installed and changes made to viewing areas. Customers can also enjoy booths with their own TVs.

As well as the World Cup in Qatar, the pub will also show major events on Sky Sports and BT Sport. A new pool table has been installed along with an illuminated double darts lane.
Daniel Bolton, who has taken over the pub as the new operator in charge, said: “We have been absolutely packed since we opened. The customers love the new look and we have been getting some fantastic feedback about the design and the carpets, which are so soft that customers say it’s like being at home in the pub.
“We show all sorts of sport here. Football is very popular but there’s also pay per view boxing, darts, and horse racing." As well as sports, the pub provides plenty of entertainment at the weekends, including an in-house DJ, local drag acts, karaoke and live music.
Mr Bolton continued: “It’s been a great start and there is so much more to come. We have so much planned such as games and events, bingo, darts and pool teams, quizzes and fundraisers for local causes. The pub is really warm and welcoming and we can’t wait to meet even more people when they come to socialise here.”
