Nottingham Nightlife

Here you'll find secret cocktail bars, proper traditional pubs, indie cinemas, chic nightclubs and live music venues galore. Nottingham's nightlife is hugely diverse, so when darkness falls, there are plenty of places to play. Don’t forget to check out our What’s On listings for up to date events and things to do!

Live Music

Nottingham’s live music scene has been thriving for over a decade, with stars such as Jake Bugg, Sleaford Mods, Natalie Duncan, London Grammar and The Invisible Orchestra all hailing from the city and bringing a flavour of Nottingham’s unique character to the world. But there are still countless acts keeping it local, with live music in many of our fantastic bars and venues almost any night of the week. To discover more about Nottingham's live music scene and venues to visit, please click here.

Theatre & Entertainment

The city and county boast some spectacular theatre venues. Nottingham Playhouse, Nottingham Arts Theatre, Lace Market Theatre and the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall all offer a variety of diverse performances throughout the year.

If you fancy watching new film releases and eating popcorn, The Cornerhouse, located in the heart of the city centre, is one of Nottingham's best-loved entertainment venues. After the film, visit The Lost City Adventure Golf for a spot of crazy golf. Across town, in the historic area of Hockley, Broadway, a four-screen independent cinema, is another great place to sit back and see the best films from the UK and around the world.

Dining, Drinking & Dancing

For a truly classy night, begin your evening with a selection of divine drinks and a delicious dinner at The Hockley Arts Club, followed by the most spectacular cocktails at The Alchemist, housed in the gothic grandeur of one of King Street’s most magnificent listed buildings. Just around the corner, you can then indulge in some South American-inspired cocktails at Revolucion de Cuba. Visiting on a Wednesday? Enjoy a salsa lesson at Revolucion de Cuba, starting at 6:30pm until 9pm followed by Salsa Social until 2am - a must if you're looking to do something a bit different mid-week! If you're looking for a standout venue to grab some grub that's a little more unique, head on over to Peggy's Skylight, a fantastic jazz club, bar and restaurant.
