A company known for its coffee, food and cocktails across the Midlands is set to open its seventh site - this time in Nottingham. BEAR, which has venues in Derby and Staffordshire, will be taking over a closed down bar in Hockley.
Before the pandemic hidden bar Boilermaker was at the location, in Carlton Street, but it later reinvented itself to become an all-day venue with a change of name to Boca Lima. It closed earlier this year. BEAR will open in the summer.
Founders and former school friends, Craig Bunting and Michael Thorley, said they are excited to bring their unique blend of speciality coffee, seasonal fresh food, and handcrafted cocktails to the eclectic and bohemian charm of Hockley, describing it as the perfect backdrop.
