Hidden down a backstreet is one of Nottingham's best secret bars, the Hockley Arts Club. A creative space for social eating and drinking, this unique multi-storey venue features a ground floor pub area, a bar and restaurant in the middle and an upstairs gin and prosecco den.
Tucked away in Lace Market, The Magic Garden is a not so hidden gem with plenty of steals and deals. It's a fantastic shout if you're looking for a boozy bottomless brunch or afternoon tea. It also fronts a lovely selection of tapas and cute drinks - the Absolutely Fabulous and Rosy Cheeks are divine.
Located in the city centre, The Walrus is fab if you're searching for quirky bars in Nottingham. Complete with four beer pong tables, a dancefloor and a soundtrack of vintage bangers, it's one unique place to meet up with friends over a few drinks.
Championing the winning combo of wings and cocktails, Bunk is a brilliant secret spot. Swing by the Stoney Street outpost, which can be found down a staircase, and make the most of its cracking happy hour deal offering £6 tipples.
A treasure trove of vintage wares, including a wall of labels and a bar made up of pennies, Lost Property is a unique secret hotel bar. The underground boozer is a local favourite for its diverse menu of premium and classic cocktails.

While it may not be a hidden venue, Coco Tang certainly fronts a super secret room. The Asian-inspired subterranean speakeasy prides itself on bespoke liquors and tart tonics to liven up its mixes. Served in crystal glasses, tea sets and ornate vases, they definitely to add to the exclusive vibe.
