Let's admit it; we're all a little strapped for cash at the moment. Splurging (as fun as it is) just isn't possible when nights out come at a hefty price tag. But luckily, we're here to show you the best happy hours in Nottingham, from 2-for-1 cocktails to cheap bottles of prosecco and discounted daiquiris. Because saving on sips never tasted so good.

With locations in the Cornerhouse complex and Market Square, Slug and Lettuce has 2-for-1 on cocktails and mocktails - all you have to do is ask your bartender for timings. Our favourite? The Dancing Queen is shaken to perfection with Sailor Jerry spiced rum, Disaronno, grenadine, lime and pineapple juice.
One of the best happy hours in Nottingham on a Saturday, The Walrus knocks up classic libations such as brambles, pornstar martinis and old fashioneds. On Thursdays, you can nab 2 for £12 on cocktails all night while Fridays and Saturdays boast the same deal until 9pm. Not too shabby if you ask us.
Fronting retro games and a cute photobooth, The Beeston Social has 2 cocktails for £9.95 from Sundays through to Thursdays. While getting competitive over ski ball, you and your pals can guzzle down drinks and munch on small plates (which start at £3.95).
For 2-for-1 cocktails in Nottingham on Fridays, Das Kino is a top-notch place in Lace Market. With happy hour taking place until 7pm from Sunday to Friday, the venue also offers half-priced ping pong and affordable pizzas.
Make the most of happy hour during the week and head to All Bar One. From Sunday to Thursday, settle into this classic boozer from 5pm and grab two tasty drinks for £10 when you order the same cocktail. The venue also has brilliant date night deals and express lunch menus.
Looking for budget-friendly drinks during the week? Lucky for your wallet, Be At One's happy hour is every single day. From passionfruit margaritas to pina coladas and other lush libations, it's worth every penny so be sure to check out their daily deals.
While it may be known as a casino first and foremost, Alea happens to have one of the best happy hours in Nottingham on Saturdays. Their Latin-themed evenings include 2-for-1 cocktails from 8 'til 10 pm at Bar Esquina. Think sangria and salsa all at an affordable price.
On the hunt for cheap cocktails? Grab a drink at Penny Lane and you won't be breaking the bank during their happy hour. From Sunday to Thursday, you can enjoy 2-for-1 on tipples until 9pm. That means double the espresso martinis for £10.45.
Situated in a former Victorian warehouse on Leonard Street, The Book Club in Shoreditch is more than just a bar and club; she's a party icon. Spread over two floors, this boozer serves up killer cocktails, tap beers, and local DJ sets that'll get your feet tapping and your spirits soaring. PS: Don't miss out on their killer discounts; Thursdays mean a G&T Social Club with £5 double gin and tonics all night.
For one of the best happy hours in Nottingham, The Blind Rabbit has a killer daily deal. Enjoy 2-for-1 cocktails from midday to 7pm and then again from 9pm to close. Sip on the classics such as a fruity sex on the beach or heady mojito. If you get a little peckish, their all you can eat wings on Wednesday is also a steal.
From Sunday through to Thursday, O'Neill's Nottingham is making sure you don't break the bank while you drink, offering two cocktails from only £11. So whether you fancy a cheeky post-work pick-me-up or fancy getting a round in with the gang, these guys are sure to provide.
Located in Lace Market, Bunk's happy hour is more than generous - we're talking every day from open until 10pm. If that wasn't enough to whet your whistle, you'll be swayed by the messy chicken baskets and trendy atmosphere.
With DJs spinning hits until 3am and stylish ambience, Coco Tang's happy hour is another winner. The underground bar offers discounted drinks from 7 to 9pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Great for after work cocktails and first dates, it's ideal for a mid-week tipple.
