Best bottomless brunch: great good and the cocktails were amazing. Kyle was the best server

Would not recommend bottomless brunch. Shocking service. Takes ages for drinks to be refilled and even had to chase an order. There are so many better places for bottomless brunch out there. The fact they asked for us to pay before we begun, which included a service charge, should raise alarm bells. Would not have minded if the service we received matched the amount we paid. Will not be returning! The only positive is the food was nice.

Sorry guys hugely disappointed with our visit, staff were all too busy sitting in corner drinking and felt we had disturbed them by being there! Food was terrible. Both of us have dodgy tummies today and the cocktails were definitely not the greatest either, won’t be returning

The bottomless brunch was unreal. So many drink options, and the food was delicious. Service was spot on—fast and super efficient. A great experience all round!

Absolutely loved the cocktails—such a great selection, and the 2-for-1 deal made it even better. Jake was brilliant, super quick and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

We had the best experience from start to finish at Escobar. Everyone we interacted with were so pleasant and accommodating. Especially Raj and Jazz were amazing hosts who kept in touch and made sure all our plans came to fruition. Would recommend to everyone genuinely :) thank you for everyone at Escobar for your time and effort!!!

The woman with the long curly brown hair and a nose piercing is very disrespectful and very rude. could have been much nicer to customers however she was dealing with personal issues whilst on shift which was very unprofessional. I understand that working with customers can be difficult at times however when they are nothing but nice to you it’s very disappointing when they are very rude

Raj is 23 years old, he called me old. But we had the best time. Best bottomless brunch we’ve had for years.

Amazing bottomless brunch!! Food was amazing and drinks were delivered quickly by Raj and Kyle!

Busy Saturday evening ordered 2 for 1 cocktails service was slow but it was busy

Went in for cocktails the staff were great and cocktails fabulous for a great price, I would definitely recommend it

Terrible cocktails, they sound good on the menu but made from premix. Food took ages and was mediocre at best.

Had the best time at bottomless- Kyle was great with re-filling the drinks!! Fully recommend

Great staff, attentive and very friendly. Amazing bottomless brunch!

Amazing place and food. Highly recommend 👌🏻 👍🏻 👏🏼

Brilliant bottomless brunch. Kyle very attentive and ensured we weren’t left without a drink through the entirety of our 2 hours. Would highly recommend.

Lovely little place to come for bottomless brunch, good food, good cocktails and great staff!

Amazing good service and drinks, definitely recommend!!

Really good service and nice cocktails.

Great atmosphere, vibe and drinks for hangout and catch up with mates

The best cocktail bar I’ve been to in a while. Service excellent, cocktails excellent, venue excellent! Would highly recommend to go and sit at the bar and speak to Raj to rustle up cocktails specific to your liking. Overall fantastic!

We had Raj serve us and had the best experience! He was so lovely and we had such a nice evening having conversations with him. The service was excellent and so was the food. Would highly recommend to everyone and will definitely be visiting again soon! - Thank you guys again!

Once again the place to be! Food 10 Drinks 10 atmoshpere 10

We stopped here for dinner before a gig around the corner. The food ranged from neutral to downright awful. We had the empanadas, the corn fritters, the beef pinxtos, the chicken tostadas, the patatas bravas, and the tortilla chips. The patatas bravas were by far the best item we got. The sauce was decent. The empanadas were advertised as being different kinds (spinach and chickpea, vegetable, etc.), but they only contained corn. So that was very disappointing. The corn fritters lacked flavor and were quite dry. They also contain a lot of mushrooms which were not advertised. The chicken tostadas contained very wet and flavourless shredded chicken, except for a chimichurri which tasted like boiled cabbage and mint. The similarity to cat foot was too much for us. The beef pinxtos were not what you'd expect. There were potatoes and shredded beef that were really pressed together to make a kind of savory cupcake, topped with the same chimichurri. It was all very mushy. Finally, the tortilla chips were truly inedible. They were thick, unsalted, and undercooked corn chips served without any dips. Huge disappointment and very poor South American-inspired food, even for England.

Booked the Bottomless Brunch recently, both the food and cocktails were great. Purchased an extra dish with the tapas (BBQ chicken wings which were amazing). If your a gin lover the Bramble is also a must! Raj and the staff were all very friendly providing great service. Even popped back in the evening for a drink where they remembered us from the day. Great music, nice people, lively atmosphere - here is somewhere to add to your list of places to visit.. we will be back! :D

Booked the bottomless brunch and was not disappointed! Great venue, lovely staff and a good selection of tapas - the chicken wings were so tasty! We came back later in the evening and the atmosphere was vibrant with good music and great service! Would book again :)

Honestly the best place to go to in Nottingham. I’m from Derby and will happily travel to Notts just to see Yuvii and the team. Drinks and food are absolutely spot on. The atmosphere is pure vibes. 10/10 recommend.

All-round 5 stars. The music is different every time I go in, and the place is always kept clean. The food is served hot and fast as well as there being a great range of cocktails (my recommendations being 'Wray of Life' and 'Man Goes Bananas'). And the 2 for £12 deals are amazing! The lamb chops and crispy squid are also a good choice. The vibes are immaculate. Definitely recommend visiting!

I couldn't recommend this bar enough! The food is epic! The drinks are awesome! And the service is even better! Me and my partner have been here 3 times already and 100% will keep coming back. If you don't already know about Escobars pop in and give it a go, you won't be disappointed!!

Two cocktails for £12 but you have to have the same. Drinks nicely made and good service.

Good service from jazz. Nice atmosphere.

visited escobar for the bottomless brunch and it was the best i’ve ever had !!! 2 hours of unlimited cocktails, their were soo many choices, the tapas was to die for.. the best part was you get your moneys worth deffo recommend

How I've passed this place in the 2 years its been open I don't know??? First time visiting tonight and I can honestly say that they made me and my friend feel like family and regulars... cocktails were perfect and the staff were so attentive. The place was clean and really warm and welcoming. Good selection of drinks and food. Will deffinatly be coming back next weekend before a show. Thanks guys

Fab service, great atmosphere, loved the bottomelss brunch soo much, such good value for money, shout out to archie for being an amazing server, kept the drinks flowing. The food was also amazing, i wokld deffo recommend the bottomelss brunch

Half price cocktails had half the amount of alcohol in - don’t be deceived by the 2 for 1 offer Tapas we’re average Out first and final visit I’m aftaid

Dude this place ! It’s the one ! Atmosphere is amazing love it

Love his bar. My new favourite place for cocktails.

Absolutely amazing bar, great staff and atmosphere, made to feel so welcome, can’t fault anything

Visited escobar, the staff were very Friendly, the cocktails were amazing. The food was delicious. The atmosphere 5/5.. Can’t wait to visit again

This is a lovely bar. Drinks and atmosphere were to die to for! Unfortunately the food (though tasteful) was NOT coeliac safe, after being advertised as gluten free!! After having a lovely meal, the evening was some what ruined due to this important, ignored detail! I believe this needs to be sorted very quickly as it can result in more dreadful consequences!!

Yeah the owners can’t handle a little bit of criticism without crying like babies. Food and service well below escoPar. It’s well known in Nottingham hospitality industry to avoid this place!

I got mad cow disease from the food here then later found out they have a 1 star hygiene rating despite having a 5 star sticker in their window

Decided to try this bar out after hearing good things.. . Pablo Escobar died in the 90's and the 'tapas' they served probably died with him. Garlic chill prawns- burnt garlic so badly still had a bitter taste in my mouth hours later. The 30 minute wait between receiving 1 dish and the other 4 didn't help either. Sweetcorn fritters were fried in oil older than the building itself. Speaking to staff about our poor food was a complete waste of time, even Speaking to manager made no difference as he was blasé about our concerns. All in all £50 wasted on probably the worst food in Nottingham

Awesome barman, good music and nice food. Cocktails were so nice and happy hour a total bonus!

Great food, cocktails and music Raj was a top barman aswell great service

Best bar in Nottingham warm friendly service

Service was ok, ordered a strawberry cocktail and had people order after me get served before me which seems a bit odd don't think I'd go back, quite a dark setting and the music outside was better then inside. Based apon the uncomftable sarcastic comment going from the owner I shall rate this now correctly.

We have been coming here for years, partly because of the cocktails and decent food, but primarily because of the fantastic Hispanic atmosphere created by the staff and the music. However despite the INSANE price increases (which we wouldn’t mind otherwise) all the Hispanic music and vibe which would usually go with the name Escobar; has now been swapped with very heavy and very loud rap which I imagine is the reason it has been empty the last three times we have been. Disappointing. Honestly it has so much going for it if it could just either readvertise or go back to the original spirit of the bar. Shall not be returning sadly, the end of an era for us.

Best bottomless brunch in Nottingham. Fantastic food, drinks and value. Archie and Jaz gave fantastic service and I would definitely visit again

Service with a smile and great choice of drinks, brilliant place

I Think the place is Fantastic 😍😊

Blasting super annoying "music" at the door.

Replaced the Indian restaurant. This is a nicely decorated cocktail bar and tapas restaurant, run by a great bunch of people.

Can’t comment on food as we only had drinks but wow the place is decorated so lovely me and friend nipped in while out for her birthday and to be honest wish we had stayed longer we were greeted at the door by the owner and a server sat down straightway and told about the offers I ask for a fruity but strong drink and the owner had a whole new cocktail made for me based on what I liked and it was the most amazing cocktail! Even put our drinks on a plastic cup for us as we had to run for the bus back to derby. Definitely be returning.

Love it here! Lovely staff and such good music and cocktails!!

Great Drinks... amazing service, very friendly staff. Loved the outdoor seating Will definitely be back

Lovely food, great drinks and music. Great vibe would definitely come again!

Amazing, had such a good time - Archibald especially was amazing, such a good vibe and food was so tasty. Cannot wait to come again!!

Lovely establishment, lovely atmosphere and drinks. Highly recommend the peach margarita.

Great place to eat to be honest, ordered the rum & Coke wings and they were nice. Great service and friendly staff will definitely be back
