The Bodega Social Club

The Bodega is a gem of an all-rounder on Pelham Street. A venue for live music, clubbing and drinking wrapped up in one charming package, it’s the place for washing away the day’s worries and kicking back with your best pals around you.

The venue has a rep for recognising emerging musical talent before they make it big. Arctic Monkeys, Florence + the Machine and Coldplay have all graced the stage at Bodega on their way to the top, and there’s frequent gig nights that showcase the next big acts most nights of the week.

Away from the live music, there’s plenty going on at the bar. Head in for 'sociable hour sessions' after work and your drinks will start from just £2, and DJ sets ring out into the night. The Bodega also boasts one of the best beer gardens in Nottingham; a quaint retreat with fairy lights running overhead and regular acoustic sessions and BBQ events in the summertime.
