One of Nottingham's first 'secret' cocktail bars has gone for good. Boilermaker brought a new concept to Hockley when it opened nine years ago at 36b Carlton Street.
Resembling a shop full of combi boilers from the outside, it was easy to bypass the hidden bar. Once inside the foyer, visitors had to find the secret entrance via a broom cupboard into the speakeasy-style cocktail bar serving quirky drinks such as Run QMC, Strong Gindependent Woman and Black Moon Revival.
"Whilst we certainly cannot help with your central heating, we can assist in wasting your time in the most efficient way possible," was the motto. However, Boilermarker was forced to change by the pandemic.
