Nights out at Olivia's Townhouse in Nottingham are over. The bar, which had a 3am licence, has closed its doors and the property has been put up to rent after just three years in the city centre. Olivia's Townhouse opened at the end of September in 2019 in Chapel Bar with the claim it represented "today’s social butterfly and style influencer who expects and demands the very best".
The bar was known for its cocktails, bottomless brunches and music. Revellers called the venue 'beautiful' but there were mixed reviews about the service. One woman said: " Not attentive wait for drinks at least 20 mins" but at the other end of the scale there was praise: "The staff were absolutely amazing kept our glasses filled and even gave the birthday girl a bottle of prosecco."
Only last month the bar launched cocktail tasting and on September 15 it was advertising Christmas parties. Olivia's still has bars in Leicester and Sheffield.

The Nottingham premises were previously home to Fat Cat before it moved to the opposite side of Chapel Bar. FHP is marketing the property, which has two floors and is part-fitted with a bar toilets and kitchen. The commercial property agents said the site would be suitable for "competitive socialising" such as gaming, ping pong, or crazy golf with food and drink.
Alternatively the site, which has alfresco seating overlooking the pedestrian thoroughfare, could be used for co-working. Upstairs covers up to 5,200 sq ft and has panoramic windows around two sides of the building.
FHP director Oliver Marshall said: "Whilst it is sad to see Olivia’s go, it really is a fantastic opportunity for an incoming operator. Leisure space of this size in Nottingham city centre is rare to find and especially space that is part fitted.
"It is rare opportunity to create something special. We are open to talk to national, regional and independent businesses. It’s not just bar/restaurant uses too, we think it would work well for competitive socialising or even co-working space."
It's the second large city centre bar to close down in recent months. The Glass House in Trinity Square shut in June.
