31K in Nottingham

They made me a delicious whiskey sour. I am now at the airport, sad to fail finding a decent whiskey sour anywhere since Sunday. But in the end glad that they were the last ones to make me a whiskey sour, I now get ready to fly somewhere with no whiskey sour

Great food,cocktails are delicious and staff welcoming 😁

always a pleasure! never had a disappointing meal from 31K. always have a variety of creative options (plenty of vegan too). great cocktails menu (a lot of them can be made into just as good mocktails). very attentive staff and great atmosphere! I recommend to everyone.

Wow! What a venue! I hired out Yolk next door to 31k for my birthday, which is ran by the same people, and it was such an incredible night! Right from the start - The whole process of booking the venue was smooth and the staff were so accommodating. Communication was fantastic and the staff really wanted to make my vision come to life. I got to create my own bespoke drinks menu and choose a colour scheme which looked great on the night. The bar tenders were fantastic, so friendly, accommodating and just good vibes. The canapés were absolutely delicious! And the venue just looked beautiful. I was allowed to bring my own decorations and play my own music all night and the staff came on to check how I was throughout the night too. Honestly such an incredible venue in the prefect location of Nottingham. Highly recommend! Thank you so much for making my night so special!

Brilliant staff & excellent food. Cannot recommend enough.

Really outstanding Bloody Mary.

Beautiful food, atmosphere and even more lovely staff. We had to come back for seconds! Thank you Rory and co.

Beautiful place, we'll be back soon

Really enjoyed a super tasty breakfast here, and my son said the vegan option hit all the right spots! Fab coffee , easy to recommend Rory and his lovely team

Great place with exceptional service. Menu was interesting, food tasty and good value. Cocktails were delicious- highly recommend the Black Forest as a liquid dessert.

31k is an atmospheric hub like no other. With chic - yet historically rich decor fit for all occasions - I can assure that you won’t be disappointed on your visit. The staff are friendly and attentive - and the seasonal food and drink menu’s are to die for. This venue gives the luxury of an upmarket London bar and food spot, minus the stuffy price tag and ambience. Make 31k a priority to visit whilst you can still get a table - it is the best in the area by a long mile ✨

We hired 31k for part of our wedding celebrations. The bar is lovely and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The whole process of organising the day was made very easy by the 31K team. We had quite a few last minute changes needed and none of them were a problem in the slightest. Everyone had a brilliant time and we’d definitely book 31K again for future events

This is one of my favourite place in Notts for food, the french toast is 👌🏼 More recently, I hosted my sister's hen do brunch there and it was incredible. The lead up to the hen do was super organised, with Will taking our pre-orders for food and helping create a personalised drinks menu. On the day, staff were so friendly and attentive. Everyone at the hen do loved it! I would highly recommend booking events/celebrations here. They cater so well for vegetarians and vegans, and offer a lot of the cocktails as mocktails too.

We had a wonderful dining experience at 31K. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy, with the chimichurri sauce adding a delightful flavor to the mixed bean salad. The churros and chargrilled pineapple dessert were exceptional, making them a must-try. The cocktails, especially the Old Cuban and Picante, were well-balanced and delicious. The service was outstanding, with a friendly and professional waiter enhancing the experience. This restaurant holds a special place for us as it was where we had our first date, and it continues to impress. We will definitely be back!

Super efficient staff run this two-storey bar. It has a great choice of drinks and food, and plays 80s music. What more do you need?😊

We had a FANTASTIC evening at 31K for my graduation! The food was perfect and everyone was equally as jealous of eachothers plates. The service was both attentive and super friendly, with fab recommendations of cocktails and puds! Thank you ever so much to Will, Rory, April, Flynn, Nell and Adam who made our experience so special. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone, whether it’s to celebrate an occasion or for casual weekday drinks!

Had a surprise party for my dad’s 60th on the mezzanine. Having been before I knew the place was fab but the staff exceeded my expectations for this event. Will and Keets were fantastic during the organisational process! The mezzanine is a great space and it was great value for money for a saturday night (even if most of the group were outside the majority of the evening lol). Wills service throughout the evening was faultless and thank you so much for putting up with us! He brought a drink on the house for my dad which was ready on arrival and was a great touch. Great cocktails and they did an amazing job with the menus we designed, having special printed menus was a great touch. It was a great evening - thank you to Will and the team!

The food was incredibly salty. In particular the "shredded kale in garlic" was more like seaweed. There was no other flavour beyond an astonishing amount of salt. The staff were generally lovely, but when they came to ask how our meals were, they left before we could answer and explain how dreadful it was. Atmosphere is relaxed, but the room was full of flies which made the eating experience less pleasant.

Sick place! Amazing drinks and a such a good team. Proper hospitality pros.

Beautiful place to have breakfast! Service was amazing and food was delicious 10/10

I had the pleasure of having a love potion which was recommended by one of your staff it really didn't disappoint either

I recently hosted an event here and couldn’t be happier with everything. The planning, the staff, the drinks, the menu, the service, everything was 10/10! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to come here.

Delicious food and extremely cool staff. Enjoyed my dinner tonight

Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff, good sevice, reasonable prices and the food was nice.

Food here is amazing, the menu is built somehow to accommodate your stomach needs. The service is exceptional always. Even if you don’t come back for food, you may come back because of the great service they offer.

Breakfast was spenny and a smidge small but it's the quality was head and shoulders above.

staffs r nice and kind. and i love their yuzu cocktail!

I love this place. A cool and intimate atmosphere paired with amazing cocktails makes for a lovely evening, with knowledgeable and attentive staff. Definitely one of the better bars in Nottingham! I haven’t tried the food yet but from what I heard it’s just as good as the drinks.

Very impressed! Food was outstanding 10/10. Made fresh and I beautifully presented. Service was excellent 👌 highly recommended.

First time been there with friends. What a nice place. Nice experience of lovely cocktails. Very nice place, good and quick service with great ambiance.

Nice place for cocktails, quick service. The blue lights flashing above the bench by the window is quite annoying but that’s only a minor detail.

Just been there for grabbing a coffee as it was cold day. Very nice place, good and quick service with nice ambiance.

Good for our Christmas social. Well priced and excellent drinks

The best cocktails in Notts. Been here many times and never disappoints. You can expect to wait for drinks if they’re really busy but the cocktails are 100% worth it. Really nice interior and staff too. I’ve not tried the food here but I’ve heard it’s as good as the cocktails. I recommend the crème brûlée cocktail, a nice twist on the espresso martini.

visited twice, once for work and once for a dinner with my wife, on both occasions it’s been impossible to fault the food or the service! (cocktails are awesome)

First time visiting 31K and I had the most pleasant experience, the atmosphere and food were beyond incredible & I can’t empathise how lovely and helpful our waitress (April) was, nothing was an issue and she made sure we had everything we need. I can’t wait to try out the lunch menu and visit again soon!

Super cute and quick dinner with drinks. My partner and I turned up with no reservation on a busy Friday night - we were seated promptly by a friendly waitress who got us on a table in the corner but moved us to a table for two where the people didn’t turn up. We were in a rush so only had a starter to share and mains. We had - Smoked mackerel starter to share - Baked cod with Romeo sauce, new potatoes and tender stem broccoli - Wild mushroom arancini with sundried tomato butter, truffle fries and squash salad Drinks - Lychee mojito The food came out after a decent wait, the smoked mackerel salad was DELIGHTFUL (pickled fennel was delish) and overall we were pretty pleased with the food. Baked cod was cooked okay, was nearly overcooked but definitely not noticeably overcooked. Nice touch having the skin on. The arancini was lovely, I was expecting a bit more of potent hot of mushroom but still lovely, wished I got the romesco with it (not sure what I was thinking!)… The vegan truffle fries - SENSATIONAL, I need them again. Everything was well seasoned and cooked well. I loved the variety of veggie/vegan dishes on the menu I can only wish that it was a bigger upstairs space but aside from that cannot fault it. Also the amount of ice to cocktail is crazy - but still tasty…. I’d have them again, but if you want to go cheaper - stick to beers and wines. I would go back and definitely recommend, one of few places in Nottingham I genuinely enjoyed, sad that I had to rush to leave.

Visited plenty of times and always satisfied. Staff are lovely and attentive, food is delicious, and obviously the cocktails are fantastic. 31K really nail balance, really good value for money experience across the board.

Finally managed to get a meal here and it did NOT disappoint. Would highly recommend! Always a good vibe

Felt a cool place! Nice cocktails 👍

Really yummy food, great for brunch but rather pricey!

Trendy little cocktail bar with a massive menu. Cocktails are £7 on weekdays (if memory serves) and £10 on weekends. The nuclear daiquiri really is dangerous! We haven't tried the food yet, but it looks fantastic.

Great cocktails and amazing food! We were very well looked after by Will and his colleagues. Thank you for a brilliant evening!

31k is one of, if not the, best cocktail bars in the city. They have a great selection of craft cocktails full of classics, twists and original drinks. There's also a good selection of draught beer. It has an intimate yet lively atmosphere and fantastic customer service. The prices are already excellent value for the quality you're getting, but their happy hour prices on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are perfect for happy hour hunters and people on a budget. Perfect for dates and drinks with friends.

First time here. Sat outside and enjoyed the classic Tom Collins cocktail - thanks. The staff were friendly and efficient without being pushy. Will go back.

Great place service excellent and to the table👍🏻

Cocktails are the best in Nottingham, atmosphere is fantastic and the menu is different to anywhere I’ve been and definitely a great unique selling point!

Thursday evening and had tables service while sitting outside. The place was busy inside with folks eating. Was my first time here at it's slight down the hill in Hockley

Nice, bright bar in Nottingham City centre. Had a quick pint watching a band during dot to dot festival.

Visited here a couple of times now with my partner and it’s really a lovely place to go to chill and have a nice cocktail or two. The pics is great just £6 for a cocktail Sunday-Wednesday and that can be at any time. I’m aware they also serve food which I have yet to try but from the look of other peoples I’d say it’s probably quite good.

I booked 31k (their private hire space in yolk next door), for my 30th and surprise wedding. Goodness we love this place anyway, we have visited many many times over the years and the cocktails are always superb but these guys know how to look after you. Will who I emailed to organise the event made the process unbelievably simple and created the most lovely personalised menus too. David looked after us personally all night so professionally, zero stress with our games and shifting tables outside so we could enjoy the sunshine, nothing was too much, Ben made the most amazing cocktails with ease. The team were absolutely wonderful, cocktails are great and the space was just lovely. To have your own space in the centre of busy notts on a Saturday with personal team looking after is just awesome. Couldn’t recommend them enough, we had the best night. It’s very affordable to book too, if you need a private hire in notts, this is the best. Thank you so much Will, David and Ben.

"table service, dogs everywhere, was good"

We visited last night for a hen party. The cocktails were so tasty!! Staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely decor inside. Would recommend.

bland food, chefs don’t know the difference between a jerusalem artichoke and a globe artichoke

Went yesterday with my 4 friends. Restaurant was so lovely food was amazing. But me and my friend that are the mushroom starter woke up 6 hours later in the middle of the night being violently sick, was traumatic and don’t wish it upon anyone. Other than that was lovely

Great idea for a menu, so simple, but lots of combinations to try. Something for everyone :) Choose your protein, carb, veg, and sauce. 16 options to mix I had the hake with pear salad, green risotto rice, and a fresh pesto

This was my first time here and between the wonderful yet light food that feels luxurious but healthy and delicious, and the exciting unique cocktails to suit many palettes its a fast favourite for me.

Service a little slow and can be rammed on weekends. Otherwise a lovely bar. Best old fashioned in town.

Fab meal. Great concept. We loved it. So reasonably priced. Service was fab too. Will def return xx

Well I can only say that the previous reviewer must have been eating in a different venue . I’ve just had the most delicious “hashville “ dish , the best Bloody Mary I’ve had in years and gorgeous service . 10/10 in my book 👍👍

Great food and service, the poached eggs were perfect! Staff are always wonderful 🧡

Limited food choices, absent minded staff and even the food that is available was really terrible. Overpriced and absolute waste of time.

Great venue with amazing food and cocktails. As the venue is small, I would advise to book a table before visiting. Even when it's busy, the staff are very attentive and always seem to be in a good mood. The menu isn't large but it works for this restaurant and it's different to other places in that you build you your own meal from the column options available. Highly recommended this place.

Great food and service. Lively atmosphere.

Great ambience, amazing stuff on the tap. Just a bit pricey but worth a try.

Extensive and creative cocktail menu with a lovely ambiance. The service was a little slow due to it being a Saturday evening.

Great coffee, fantastic friendly customer service. We’ll worth a visit

Amazing menu with really great food and cocktails, the staff were super attentive and friendly- would definitely recommend :)

Really enjoyable, love the idea of choosing the components that make up your meal. Will return!

Fantastic cocktail bar in quirky building. The doorman knew we had a booking and greeted us by name, great customer service. Food was excellent, simple to order and delicious. Extensive cocktail and drinks choice Throughly recommend

Visited after reading a great review from a local food critic. Unfortunately, was sadly dissappointed. Love the concept of the menu (pick an option from the 4 "lists" including a sauce, side etc, but the food was a let-down. However, the positive was the wine selection! Was very busy, which is great for the place, but overly noisy and not much room between tables (and dogs, pleasant surprise rule for a city centre venue), but not off putting for myself particularly. Food had to be returned due to a couple of elements which were inedible, but they were replaced with alternative option. A shame as was expecting a lot more, maybe better in the week when maybe less busy and they have longer to cook they're leeks! Guiness gravy was lovely, but not enough to soften the leeks and allow both my knife and teeth to get through them. Probably return, but just for the wine.

We had some food here and it was very nice. I had the mushroom pie which was tastey, but compared to the fish it was a little small. I would recommend to have the fish if your hungry. We got lucky to get a Seat, as we had not booked, so i would definitely recommend booking. Staff super nice and helpful. Great bar, and would definitely go back.

Amazing staff and very accommodating with our toddler

Lovely service, good menu and some delicious secret recipe beans. Could not recommend it more highly.

Went here for my boyfriends birthday with a large party of friends and family and it was wonderful! Very easy to prebook online, the staff were so so friendly welcoming and accommodating. Will did a excellent job of serving us, making sure we always had full drinks and were having the best time (he even wore a party hat all night 🥳), and the food was very delicious! Couldn’t have asked for a better place celebrate his birthday, can’t wait to visit again :)

Best bar in Nottingham. Amazing food and cocktails.

In my opinion the best cocktail bar in nottingham. Always has a great atmosphere and a fantastic selection of delicious drinks

Stopped here for brunch. Lovely attentive staff, excellent tasty food. There was a bit of a wait but it was well communicated and pleasant surroundings in which to wait.

Great bar. Went for drinks and they had some lovely cocktails. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Best cocktail bar in town. It has no parallel.

Ate there yesterday evening pre-concert. Meal was absolutely perfect and the cocktails. So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant when looking for somewhere to eat. We got lucky and got a table, but several others got turned away as got full. Food and service a 10/10 from all of us 4 diners.

Great food, nice wine, fab service and to boot on a Wednesday 2 for 1 on food. 2 steak meals for £14!!!! And the pepper sauce was amazing! The vibe in there was great too Defo place to go!

Wonderful atmosphere and amazing staff - courteous, attentive and always happy. The cocktails are incredible with great blends and the food is exceptional. I will be back very soon!

By far my favourite bar in Nottingham. Can get busy, but the service, food and cocktails are 👌.

Beautiful venue, amazing staff and scrumptious food!

Dropped in tonight (Saturday 21st January) on the off chance of getting a table. So glad we did. The drinks menu is great but the food, oh my, fantastic! Service with a smile and wonderful ambience. Worth every single star. Well done all.

I always enjoy coming to 31K for a drink - which are all reasonably priced and super tasty (definitely something for everyone). My friend suggested we go for food which I had never had before and I was very pleased with all the choices available (particularly for vegetarians) and thoroughly enjoyed my meal that I got to construct for a great price! (Think this deal applies only on Wednesdays) Will definitely be doing this again!

We came here for the first time on NYE and thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff were very attentive and friendly, the cocktails were unusual and tasty, the atmosphere was pleasant and the decor is really cool. The only thing I would say is that the toilets needed a good clean and the DJ on NYE kept stopping tracks so there was sometimes an awkward silence 😂 scrub up the toilets and sort out the DJ and it’s a 10/10. I have to give it a 5 though because we still had a fantastic night so thank you 😃

We had a lovely night at this venue during our winter party. The staff was very friendly and food was very good. We loved our bespoke cocktail menu which added such an amazing personal touch to the evening. And of course no night is complete without some karaoke, kindly arranged by the staff - this venue is amazing for student groups. Would highly recommend!

We had our university Christmas party here and I could not recommend enough! The food and drinks were incredible, the staff was so friendly. Communication was amazing during the planning process and the owners so accommodating to a university society. Honestly, if you're looking for a spot for a chill night out or a party venue - this is the best place to go. Will 100% be returning.

We turned up on spec on the last Saturday before Christmas and got a very warm welcome from the host who worked hard to find us a great table. Fab cocktails and excellent service and great atmosphere

We hosted a private party here recently and it was just brilliant. The team were an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout, really professional and super accommodating - nothing seemed too much trouble. The bespoke cocktails and late night snacks were spot on too. It's clear they love what they do and genuinely want to deliver the best service possible. Thank you to Will, David (suavest door host in town) and all the team for making the party such a success!

I have been to 31k countless times since I discovered it, and every single time I have had a wonderful experience. The food and drinks are incredible, with 5 star cocktails at the price of only £6 from Sundays to Tuesdays. the only reason you should not go here is if you don’t want to leave obsessed!

Rocked up for a Christmas meal with some friends. Lovely friendly bloke on door. Entire Camembert for starter (I'll let you decide whether good or not) and a delicious build-you-own Christmas main. Class staff, class food and delightfully different cocktails.

Not only they serve good food and large portion, the customer service here is excellent too. I wasn’t aware that I was served a drink which is different from what I’ve ordered (Key Lime), but the waiter took the initiative to tell me they have served the wrong drink and served me another cup of drink that I’ve ordered initially for free. Such service and honesty deserves a commend.

Incredible service with an amazing waiter. Food was fab - cocktails were amazing as well and waiter was excellent at recommending good stuff to try. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic atmosphere and staff. I loved the menu and the ability to customise your own dishes. The beetroot tart was excellent and the madeira sauce was fabulous. Unfortunately though we both had glazed parsnips and they were really undercooked, the thin ends were nice but the vast majority of the parnsips was still almost raw. I'd either recommend avoiding the parsnips on the menu or 31k cutting then into smaller pieces and parboiling them for far longer. It was a shame because everything else was perfect, we still had a great time though.

By far my favourite place in Nottingham. Never had a bad time here amazing cocktails, amazing menus that change seasonally with an excellent chef meaning you can try so many new and different flavours here especially with the mix and match concept of the food menu. Staff are so friendly and knowledgeable just everything they do here knows how to put smiles on faces and you can tell the owner takes so much pride in the business and rightly so :))))

Really nice vibe here, love the food (I had pasta and artichokes), the staff were great and the price was really reasonable! Can't wait to try other menus!

Good atmosphere, table service and reasonably priced drinks, especially wine
