Ye Olde Salutation Inn (nicknamed The Sal)[1] is a Grade II listed[2] public house, with parts dating from around 1240,[3] which lays claim (along with Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem and The Bell Inn) to being the oldest pub in Nottingham.[4] The inn also has a claim to being the most haunted pub in the country, one landlord having asserted the presence of 89 resident apparitions.[5] Aside from these claims, it is best known locally for its rock music and has been described by local historian Dave Mooney as "an old fashioned rock and bike pub."[5]
