Meeting place in Nottingham on Saturday: Waterfront, Castle + - decide inside thread

Hearn tweeted the fight starts at midnight.... there are loads of bars near the capital im not sure where me and my mates are going

 

Avoiding the Eurovison Song Contest?

 

seems late cant wait thoough!

 

Gutted, i'll miss the weigh-in as i won't be back from work in time.

Midnight is annoyingly late aswell. Anyone know when Frampton is due to enter the ring? All the lads will be round my place before hand because i live in Nottingham so i'd like to know what time to get a taxi into the square.

Come on Carl!

 

And to answer your question, there really isn't alot to see in Nottingham that you don't get anywhere else.

Alot of people from out of town enjoy going to Hooters (a bar/restaurant where the waitresses wear next to nothing and are generally very attractive) and it does come recommended.

Drinking venues depend on which type of thing you're in to. I'm pretty sure all the students have just had their last exams, so they will be out in full force this weekend which means plenty of fanny.

Due to the weather at the moment, i'd recommend a couple of beer gardens called The Waterfront and The Castle. The Waterfront is literally across the road from the train station and The Castle is a 5 minute walk from the square.

Decent restaurants include Tropeiro (Brazilian food and cocktail bar, located in Lace Market) and Peachy Keens (world buffet and bar) which is near the Gala Casino. Bars obviously depend on what you like. The Approach is a nice, classyish little place near the Square but is expensive by Nottingham standards. You always see Forest players in their with the wags and it's very relaxed. Horn In Hand, Pit And Pendulum, Vodka Revs etc are good for pre-fight drinking and if you fancy a post night out then it depends what you're looking for. Those with a student card simply have to go to Ocean which always promises off the scale looking students. It's grotty as **** and looks grim from the outside, but you'd go through 9/10 birds in there like a train. EQ, Gatecrasher, Rescue Rooms, Stealth, Rock City etc are a few other places that will be packed after the fight. Stealth is generally populated by pillheads and doesn't have a dress code, a bit of a laugh and where you want to go if you fancy a bag. Rock City is a bit emo-ish and EQ + Gatecrasher is where most people go to end a night. I'll be borrowing my mates student card to get in Ocean.

 

Awesome roundup :good

 

Cookie Club in Nottingham is decent and quite cheap for after hours.
