This year has seen the loss of several Nottingham bars as rising bills and the cost of living crisis took a large chunk out of the city's nightlife. One of the first to go was Glass House in Trinity Square, in June, which blamed the ongoing effects of the pandemic for its closure.
Hidden bar Boilermaker did a 360° turn when the owners decided it really needed to be seen to boost trade, so there were some major changes at the venue, in Carlton Street, Hockley, as it reinvented itself to become Boca Lima. The Cornerhouse's rooftop bar GinSecco shut its doors for good in November and around the same time late-night spot Olivia's Townhouse, in Chapel Bar, went on the market.
Despite the closures there are still plenty of vibrant nightspots for cocktails, beers and a glass or two or gin, including a secret garden, a seaside amusement arcade and a hard-to-find underground haunt.
