Situated right in the heart of the city, Box isa buzzing sports bar that's always got something fun going on. The historic Victorian building maintains many of its original features, such as high domed ceilings, paired with modern touches like quirky neon signs and disco balls.

There's all sorts of entertainment to enjoy, from live sports screenings across 35 HD screens to private karaoke rooms, shuffleboard tables and interactive dartboards. They offer bottomless brunches for £34.95 per person, as well as a tasty menu full of Neapolitan pizzas, American-style hotdogs and tandoori-marinated burgers.

The Sir John Borlase Warren

A cool and industrial pub near the city centre, The Sir John Borlase Warren specialises in craft pints and hand-pulled ales. On top their excellent drinking selection, you'll find a colourful outdoor drinking space complete with comfy cushions and plenty of greenery.

The Lacehouse

With a penchant for all things rum, this charming cocktail bar is rooted in history. Located in one of Nottingham's former lace factories, the popular nightspot promises loft-style design, a laid-back vibe and live music until late.
