Four years after a glitzy celebrity opening Carl Froch's Nottingham's rooftop terrace bar Alto has gone on the market. The boxing legend teamed up with businessman Marc Brough to bring a touch of class to the city's nightlife at the Cornerhouse, when the late-night bar with sleek, white decor opened in August 2018.
But the bubble has burst, with the duo blaming insufficient time to focus on the business and the impact of the Covid pandemic on footfall. Recent visitors have slammed the bar on the second floor of the leisure complex for lack of cleanliness and its shabby state, with one saying: "It's like nobody has looked after this place and nobody cares."
Mr Froch, who runs a property company and is a boxing pundit for Sky Sports, is currently a silent shareholder, having stepped down as a director three years ago. He said: "It's not the kind of establishment I want to be associated with and that's why I'm no longer a director of the place.
