Can anyone recommend some great clubs in Nottingham to me? Places along the lines of Air in Birmingham. Or the custard factory. (or maybe these just don't exist here?)
And any nice bars with cheap cocktails. I remember going to one once that was all b1g1f but I was so drunk by the end of it I have no clue what it was or where...

Rock city is a great rock club but if you want something like air then its not what you're looking for.
Mode is probably the best nightclub around here although all the outsiders will be told oceana - dont listen - its over-priced and its shit.
Theres plenty of good bars for cocktails around though.
Cucamara's is probably the best, a leg wobbler will set you back about 4 quid but its got about 4 different shots in it.
Next best cocktail bar and uber cheap is Templars - bit hard to find if you dont know your way around nottingham but they have some fantastic deals and its about £6 a jug (fills about 5 glasses full)
As for cocktail bars cucamaras is where we always used to go! It's up an alley way just off market square. I've never been to templars but the pit and pendulum does the 7 deadly sin cocktails which are wicked!
p.s. Icey - thanks for the avatar! i'll upload it when when i have more time tomorrow!
I've been to mode and hated, hated, hated it. Maybe it was the night but I didn't like the music and the people in there did not seem like a nice crowd.
I also really don't like cheese nights and after what I've been told about ocean I'd rather throw myself off trent bridge than go there.
I will try oceana at some point.
But dammit I guess there really arent any good clubs cuz I already know of everything mentioned.
I'll definately try cucamaras and templars. I go the pit cuz i do love it, but I'm not to impressed with the cocktails, 2 for £5.50 and I can't taste a drop of alcohol.
Thanks for your help. Was hoping they'd be some great clubs I hadn't heard about, I guess there aren't any
Apart from that most places are either shite or average. Nothing like Air or Custard factory im afraid.
Noticed you live the other way round to me, notts home and brum at uni. Which city do you prefer?!
Not really sure what Air and Custard Factory are like though.
Notts is a great city, Im sure you will have a good night!

I do however think Nottingham town centre is prettier than Brums. And they have the best buffet chinese restaurant I've been too. Yum.
As stated, Stealth is alright for some ngiht.s
Firefly and detonation/detonate nights are also good if you like that kind of music.
Comparing the biggest city in the uk after london with nottingham isn't exactly a fair comparison though
Well its alot different to say Broad Street where pretty much all the bars and clubs are on one big road .. yeah alot of the bars in nottingham are scattered around but you'll always find somewhere wherever you go.
Sorry just wanted a little rant.
I guess at least it keeps most the idiots confined to one place.
Also, as someone mentioned, the firefly nights are good, they're not at stealth anymore, they're in a big community centre place - just one big mash-up and they happen once a month. Good if you live in B'ham cos they finish at 6 so you can get the train back in the morning.
The Bomb was the best club in nottingham but it shut down However an application has been put in to re-open it so watch this space!
Avoid oceana, ocean, mode etc at all costs unless you're into that shit.
I never really thought of Notts as confusing but had a quick think about it and realised with all the little side streets, alleys and areas it is pretty bad to explain places Since the Lace Market and Hockley took off it's a lot more confusing than it used to be.
Havent been back to Templars since i got back from Uni, think theyve done it up and its under new management i think, not sure .. but i liked it there, good laugh again.
p.s don't think i've been to a student night since i was 17
Check out 'the social' opposite from hogs head just down from lloyds bar, had a great night in there once. Depends on your music choice though
And the way you dress. They used to be very anal about dress code. God forbid you're not sporting the scruffy tramp by ted baker look
Yeah the Social is wicked, small bar downstairs but they have good breakbeat/electro nights on upstairs at the weekend :thumb:
