Penny Lane

Our Take

Seaside-themed arcade bar with 2-for-1 cocktails until 9pm Sunday to Thursday, combining cheap drinks with childhood nostalgia. Classic arcade games, 2p machines, and a live-commentated donkey derby create an atmosphere where afternoon drinking comes with built-in entertainment. Cocktails served in miniature pool inflatables and hook-a-duck sharers prove this place doesn't take itself seriously—perfect for day drinking that needs personality. The quirky vintage ice cream machine and waffle pops add to the boardwalk vibes despite being firmly landlocked in Nottingham. Gets packed with groups who want their happy hour served with a side of competitive gaming. This is afternoon drinking that accidentally turned into a funfair.
