BOX Nottingham in Nottingham

Gave our group a free extra hour at karoke, great placr

Love Thursday evening Bandeoke, getting to sing on stage with a band is fun! Great vibes and good drink selection.

Great food. The place was fantastic until they put the football on at an ear splitting volume (after we'd ordered). I can understand people are there to watch sports but it was on unnecessarily loud and my partner and I couldn't talk to each other normally afterwards.

Very good food, great atmosphere. No none alcoholic drinks on festive bottomless brunch. Great night tho, thanks codie, you were awesome

Blond Barman completely ignored people waiting at the bar to serve people who only just turned up. Very poor service, and very ignorant

Decent pub for sport abit pricey and definitely not enough staff on

There are a lot of large screens for watching football (unfortunately without sound) but you can watch several games at the same time, eat ok, two karaoke rooms on the upper floor are very fun,

Update. Just waited 15 min in a half empty venue for a drink as bar staff ignored us constantly. Poor

I would like to say that I have had a fantastic experience here courtesy of the manager and staff working at the BOX Nottingham. I had a situation where they kindly helped me out with a gift card, and I can only speak the praise of Anna who put things right. I will be coming back here again.

Went here on Saturday night it was excellent

Nicely turned out modern bar. Excellent selection of sports shown continually. Live band 3 nights a week. Serving mainly top end Lagers on tap at top end prices.

Used a karaoke room and darts for a hen. There was also a live band on in the main bar and dance floor area

Great place for live music . With dance floor .

Fab games and karaoke 🎤 had a great works night out we didn't have food so can't rate it

We recently used BOX to host a team event and it was great. The staff were attentive, we had use of the private rooms upstairs but were still able to play the games downstairs. We all really enjoyed it.

£13.10 for a double vodka, are we in London??? Absolute rip off, don’t waste your money. Bouncers always pleasant though

Decent place to watch a bit of footy with a pint. Can get a bit crowded at times (whether that's good or bad depends on your perspective) and there was a long wait for food and drinks but maybe that was just because it was saturday evening. Been here twice and loved the selection of beers that they had both times.

Hannah and codi are the best, give them a pay rise!

We have been trying to organise a friends surprise birthday evening with Box for the past few weeks. After a week of no reply we have suddenly been told that the time slot we were arranging to hire out has been given up. Yes, we hadn’t paid a deposit yet but we were waiting for some questions to be answered first. Extremely unprofessional communication and left us with not much time to organise anything else.

Great atmosphere and really friendly staff

The last few times we've booked to watch a particular sport event, Box are unable to actually show it, or turn it off midway. Booked a table for 8 people to watch the F1, website said it was being shown, and we stated in the booking that we were coming to watch the F1. There were numerous other groups also booked to watch it. A few minutes after it started the staff told us all screens would be turned to the football. Eventually after multiple people complained, they kept on two screens without sound. I really don't know why they bother to take sports bookings that they can't keep, no one is booking to come and watch part of a race/game! The venue is big enough that it seems so easy to group sports bookings together rather than only showing one thing.

If you want to watch any sport other than football, just straight up find somewhere else. You will have your feed changed when any PL game comes on, regardless of the amount of people watching it with you. A little bit of table reservation management would probably fix this, just put groups into an area to watch together? We had 5-6 full tables wanting to watch F1 - not exactly a fringe sport - and all of them stated in their reservations what they came to watch. It gets really exhausting asking staff to change certain screens back. Not exactly an isolated incident either, after 4 different visits with 4 different sports, football will always win. Just gonna find somewhere else. Food and drink is great, but that will always be secondary to the actual reason we want to be there. Shame because we'd genuinely thought we'd all found somewhere we could hang out.

Showed up at 4:45pm. Took us until 5pm to receive service and the bar refused to offer two-for 1 cocktails. The server literally put her hands up in the air and shrugged at us when I complained before serving someone else. Never going here again and will advise all our friends as much.

Great night out with friends. Kareoke and live bands. Not overly priced.

Stumbled across this yesterday when walking to a different pub and by god it caught our eye. Clean, tidy, sharp and certainly eye catching. Even though we didn't watch a sporting event there's a tv at every angle with a jumbotron style tv in the middle what looked brilliant. We didn't eat but there was a wide choice of beer on offer and a great atmosphere. Also for a change the staff looked like they liked there job. Can't wait to go back

Great bar for sport bit expensive for beer though

Went for the bottomless lunch with some girlfriends. Really friendly staff that tried their best to host our bottomless drinks, whilst also busy with other customers. Couldn’t do enough for us but because it was so busy (fair enough Saturday pm) , sometimes had to wait for our glasses to be topped up. I didn’t quite get why they didn’t just leave a full bottle on the table every so often, as we were a group of 7. However, the bottomless drinks were amazing. Everyone gets fizz as standard and then you can choose a cocktail on top of that. We were trollied by the end of it. Food was ok, tasty and decent portions. The salt and pepper chips were lovely! The atmosphere was great and the place itself, including the loos were very clean. Definitely recommend and we will be back. Great value for money.

Always a great experience at the box, Jamie and the team are so accommodating and always ready to go the extra mile even when it’s busy. Darts is great fun and always good for a group. So nice to have something like this on the Nottingham scene.

Having been to other Box venues across the uk I assumed this would be on the same level. JAMIE the manager was so unhelpful, sarcy and hardwork. Came with a group of 25 and spent over £800. He was just hardwork from the word go. Considering we were paying customers on a Monday afternoon he just had a chip on his shoulder. I am astonished to discover he is the manager has zero people skills. Avoid especially if hes working. This also shows the discrimination of the company as they don't even have the decency to reply to any of our comments yet every single comment has had a response.

After being to many of the box venues across the country, I found this venue at Nottingham below par with everything mainly customer service. I found Jamie the manager attitude towards my party of 19 people extremely rude, unprofessional, unequipped and lacked basic customer care, considering we spent £800 on a quiet Monday afternoon any person with some sort of business sense would see this a good bit of of revenue for that day. Jamie however chose not to look at it like that but rather a inconvenience and made us feel as if we're being awkward and needy which was quite the opposite we understood it was a large party we understood there would be a wait, but tell us that you will get served when you do, and serving others before us, after we had been in there for over hour at this point is just wrong and when we asked why we were met with Jamie's answer of you will be "served when we're ready" and your more than welcome to go elsewhere" Considering this was a celebration and we had alot of family together after such a long time and based on recent riot events which has heightened a level of discrimination across the country I feel Jamie made us feel unwelcome with the same prejudice and discrimination we had experienced over recent weeks and that is very sad, On a final note I hope that you read this review and implement some changes mainly how you handle larger groups a little common courtesy goes massive way also some basic training in how to handle situations would be very hand for you guys

Didn't have any food. Both myself & my husband have enjoyed drinks from here & also had fun playing shuffleboard.

Avoid this place, certainly when Jamie the manager is working! Right from the beginning he was very unwelcoming, unprofessional, sarcastic and cant do attitude. Although we were a group of 20+ he was emailed in advance with notice so has no excuse. Also there was not a customer in sight when we arrived so he should have been welcoming us with open arms to spend best part of £800. What was meant to be a live and kicking atmosphere was ruined and definitely would not return here. As for Jamie, I wouldn't even have him manage my sky box subscription let alone the BOX. I think its worth booking a slot into the private room for some training on that 85” TV. Make sure you pre book though!

Disappointing Experience During a Special Celebration I recently attended a friend's wedding celebration, and I am utterly disheartened to report that our experience was nothing short of disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the level of service was shockingly poor, which completely overshadowed our special occasion. To begin with, the attitude of the management, particularly the male manager on duty, was dismissive and unaccommodating. His behavior was not only unprofessional but also gave us the distinct impression of being discriminatory. It seemed as though he had a preference for serving other guests over our group, which not only felt unfair but also tainted our experience with a sense of being unwelcome. Moreover, the restrictions placed on our orders were baffling. We were a sizable group and decided to indulge in some cocktails to celebrate the occasion. However, we were informed in no uncertain terms that we could only choose from a specific selection of cocktails due to the size of our group. Any deviation from this limited menu would result in an extended wait time, beyond the already lengthy delay we were experiencing. This was incredibly frustrating and felt unnecessarily restrictive, especially considering the amount we were spending. To put it into perspective, our group spent around £800, which one would assume might warrant a more flexible and accommodating service. The overall experience was marred by the lackluster service and the unwelcoming attitude of the staff, particularly the management. It was a disappointing experience, to say the least, and it unfortunately became a talking point of the day for all the wrong reasons. I regret to say that I cannot recommend based on this experience, and I would urge potential patrons to consider other venues where the service matches the significance.

Sarcastic, rude, arrogant manager JAMIE. As a big group of friends in Nottingham for the first time as well THE BOX celebrating an auspicious occasion, Never have we ever have I ever been made to feel so degraded and belittled. JAMIE from the outset was extremely dismissive and unwelcoming. We had pre arranged with another member of staff the private karoke room due to the party size being 20+. On arrival it was made clear JAMIE really wasnt in the mood to accomodate us judging from his sarcy tone and huffing/puffing every 5 seconds. Our friends had been waiting in the queue for a while whilst he look passed and served everyone else before us. When confronted, he said “you’ll get serves when you get served” couldnt have been more unprofessional if he tried. Considering we spent £800 it had ruined our celebration and we certainly wont be returning.

Went to celebrate my friends wedding and the service from start to finish was horrendous. The male manager I would say was racist. Seem to prefer to serve others before us. Told us we could only have specific cocktails due to the size of our group and told if we are to order anything different we would be waiting a lot longer than we already was. Really bad service considering we spent £800.

Shandy is lit. 🥰 thankyou so much for being amazing! 🤟

Warm and friendly Free sunbed , outside tables Relaxing place

Great food and always good service

Fantastic bar. Will absolutely be going back.

Great bar decent prices 8 shots 8 drinks £107 bargain price

5 stuff behind the bar , doesn't have a clue what to do ( luck of training) Unbelievably slow 🐌

Didn't have food here but excellent venue, great atmosphere, shuffle board highly recommended. Staff were great too

My second visit to this amazing place was not disappointing. They seem to have placed the customer at the heart of their thinking in just about every angle. The live music was well chosen with a very talented band who played the audience like a fiddle probing for what would work and then going for it. When things go right without a hitch then it speaks volumes about the chain of command. Everything from the drinks range the decor and ambience and super cleanliness of the rest rooms is something to be proud of and celebrate. The staff were engaging and enthusiastic and left little to chance and that does not happen by accident If there was one word of warning it would be this; the higher the standard you set then the higher standard you have to maintain and that is where you have to leave no room for complacency. As a retired hotel manager I know acutely this dynamic. For now well done.

Easy to pre-order food online before you go. Good service as they know who ordered what, so it makes it easier. The chicken starter/side was really nice, as was the vegetarian goats cheese pizza. The lamb in the lamb & chicken kebab was very dry. Not a venue I chose to go to, and I didn't think it was suitable for a family meal with children...but if you're looking for a sports bar that serves food, then this would be ideal.

Not had food yet but the negative review are silly. This bar is a great addition to the drink scene and even for a coffee, have loads of drinks on offer if your drink of choice isn’t here then try not to dislike the venue. The bar is not bad. It’s a good bar in overall.

Great live entertainment, or sports. Yummy food, especially the chicken wings! Lively atmosphere.

Superb bar, we went on a Thursday night and there was Bandaoke - Karaoke with a band! Very entertaining. The beer was cold, the staff were super-friendly.

This place was so much fun!!! And they have the coolest toilets ever!

Great place to relax and enjoy a great drink

Booked the karaoke for a couple of hours with a group of friends, and we had an amazing time. The room was a great size, and the staff were really helpful, especially the manager Hannah. We'll definitely be back!

amazing evening watching the f1, martina leah and lewis made it especially special (:

Went with friends to watch the England game. Atmosphere was fantastic unfortunately the game wasn't. Great Pizza and burgers

Love it in here! The cocktails are good and there are games to play. The private rooms are brilliant and worth the price and the events are frequent. I love the band-eoke!

I had a disappointing experience at Box Nottingham on Friday night. My friends and I ordered drinks and stepped outside for a smoke. When we looked back, the door was closed, and no one informed us to take our drinks or warned us about the closure. We weren't allowed to take our drinks outside, resulting in a significant waste of money since they were almost full. It's frustrating that there’s no way to contact management online to address this issue. A little communication from the staff would have made a big difference.

I can't comment on food as I didn't have any. I went to a karaoke party and it was very good. The facilities and bathrooms are really good.

Gorgeous venue with amazing staff that know so much about food and drinks! Would definitely recommend to all my friends and family!

Was served by Leah yesterday and received terrific service and loved her recommendation of the watermelon and pear cocktail 😍 10/10 will be coming back soon

Went with friends, the food was beautiful, the staff very helpful & pleasant. We had the karaoke room definitely a wonderful idea 100% recommend for a good night

Really cute place we found on a whim! Cocktails were fantastic, Pina Colada is to die for, really yummy and had an offer of 241, so even better. Staff were lovely. Never thought a sports bar would be such a vibe but they have plenty to offer more than that such as games, live music, dancing on benches and even a photo booth upstairs. And one of the coolest and cleanest toilets I’ve ever been to 😅☺️

Grace was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic bar, pizzas are banging

Staff are very welcoming and attentive. Great decor and atmosphere.

Box is a fantastic addition to Nottingham's bar scene! It's a huge but welcoming venue with loads of seating areas and large TV's, ideal for watching football and various other sports with your mates. The food is excellent, especially when taking advantage of the £8 lunch menu but if you're really hungry then it's definitely worth trying The Guv'nor burger! There is a fair range of draught beers including alcohol free options with some interesting and locally brewed craft ales. There's also spirits aplenty with some excellent whisky's. The staff are very friendly and work incredibly hard to ensure everything runs smoothly. Josh is particularly knowledgeable about the range of drinks available, and is happy to spend time talking you through everything and making some great recommendations! Josh is passionate about his job, enjoys interacting with customers and is incredibly friendly 👍

Josh great to talk to the drinks is decent about this place and the vibes is great

Great place to watch the football, staff were friendly and a wide selection of beer.

Cool venue and facilities but £10 for a gin and lemonade is atrocious. Others drinks are not particularly cheap either

Terrible experience. Waited over 1 hour for drinks at bar. You need another bar. Absolute joke sort it out

Karaoke room was loads of fun & table service was efficient for how busy the bar was downstairs. Had a great time!!

Staff very helpful and jolly. Entertainment for everyone on selected nights. We had a good old laugh

If you like football I imagine this this is a dream pub. Too noisy for me personally. Beers are all keg. No hand pulled. Well appointed.

Magnificent time there. Food , service atmosphere was all pukka

Live band was absolutely brilliant, made our night - will be back!!

Hired one of the rooms upstairs for meeting space. Venue and service was fantastic. Great facilities and space. Everyone was impressed and the manager on duty Hannah was brilliant, just the right amount of attentive. Food also a highpoint. Would highly recommend.

An exceptional evening, good rock covers, a very beautiful place, a must in the evening in Nottingham.

Good atmosphere, services is slow at the bar when a few people in. Good option of games.as well as always some type.of entertainment

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Box Nottingham! We hired a karaoke room for around 20 people - the room was perfect size and there was a great choice of songs on offer. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the bar service was fast. Would highly recommend this place!!

What a lovely young man, Gareth gave excellent service with a smile, such a delight to be here, fantastic building by fothergill watson should have named it Watsons Bar as we already have a Fothergills bar in nottm

Very busy bar. We played shuffle board, which was very funny. Equipment was well looked after.

I paid for a shuffle board for an hour, was on for 5 minutes and left to cheer on a friend who was in karaoke for 10-15 mins, returned and they booked someone else on the table. As a slap in the face, they offered them a full refund and we just had to accept we couldn't get the full time I paid for. What the hell, guys!

Only popped in to have a quick afternoon drink. Plenty of choices of drink.

Great atmosphere good service great staff

I went in for the first time last night. 10th February 2024. It's a lovely building, and the place had a good vibe. Unfortunately, I'm in no rush to return again, due to the drink prices. £18.45 For 3 Pints.

Only had drinks Saturday night good atmosphere and a live band on

Amazing customer service. We came on Saturday and wanted to thank hettie and Eve for making our night the best. Little issue with booking time on arrival but they corrected all mistakes and made our night amazing

My friend works here and we absolutely love it. Bandeoke on a Thursday is our favourite!

Brilliant venue trendy modern shall defiantly be going back

Slow service. Didn't honour the queueing system. Awful.

Disappointed the first 2 draught beer i ordered and none on tap . So had to settle for a 3rd choice and was expensive at £6.40 a pint . But the establishment was very clean . But bar staff spent to much time making cocktails they should have at least i member of staff just to serve beer . And also some of the seating was very cramped .

My first visit. Great Saturday afternoon. 2 for 1 cocktails were superb as was the food. Great atmosphere. Top notch service from everyone . Will absolutely visit again.

Great new sports bar visited in daytime to watch a game, can't wait to go back at night

Booked the kareoke room for my birthday I can honestly say it was the best choice I made for a birthday celebration yet !!! Me and my friends enjoyed every moment of it !!! Will defo be booking again !!

Was a lovely place, only went in a private room but staff and hosts were lovely. Some food was amazing some of the dishes needed work.

Loved it, went in on a Monday afternoon, and night,

Busy but nice good choice of drinks

Too noisy, crowds everywhere.expensivr drinks and terrible food

Amazing night and stunning venue! All the staff were very friendly and made our night, will definitely be returning!

What a beautiful place , great beer great staff but wow its expensive, other than the prices 10 out of 10

We went here as a small group to play electronic darts assuming how busy it always looks must be a sign of a great bar. Sadly this was not the case. It took over 45 mins to be served at the bar due to only 2.5 staff working behind it on a day where there was huge games on in the Premier League and 6 Nations. For our second round of drinks we attempted to use the QR but failed instead resorting to table service again this took well over 30 mins meaning we were unable to enjoy our drinks as we had reservations elsewhere. As for the darts we were initally set up wrong however this was resolved once we brought the staffs attention to it. It was fun due to the company however being a fan of the digital darts experience I can confirm there is better elsewhere. Won't be rushing back which is a shame as the screens, decor and facilities all look incredible just need the service to match :/

Love this place because of Beth

Didn't eat. Had drinks and fun with friends. Great sportsbar.

Leah was absolutely brilliant, will definitely come back because of the service
