Love love love it here, honestly one of Nottingham's best venues. Bradley is a brilliant host and works super hard, I don't know how he does it. Great bottle menu, great selection of local and almost local fare on the taps. Always interesting natural wines. Immaculate vibes. Dog friendly. Like the outdoor seating, lots of events like jazz, DJs and quizzes on. I think I've been coming here for about 15-20 years and I've seen many iterations of Jam Cafe and this is the coolest. It's really nice to see it still thriving.

Always a lovely place to visit in Nottingham. I have never had food here, not sure if it does it. Popular music venue with a wide range of artists performing regularly. Varied clientele, all ages and appearances welcome. Room to dance and bistro style seating outside on the walkway. Brad is super enthusiastic and always has a smile for his customers. A wide range of craft and bottled beers, San pellegrino soft drinks and a good selection of spirits. Definitely recommend.

The best bar in the world. Great music, nice crowd, excellent friendly service, an extensive drinks menu, the outdoor seating feels very continental, you can eat food from the great surrounding restaurants, dog friendly outside which provides more entertainment, brilliant live gigs and it's open pretty late. Like another reviewer, I've recently moved to London. There is nothing like Jamcafe here. I've made a terrible mistake.

Had half an hour to fill before a restaurant booking so stopped in here for a quick drink as a result of their very impressive selection of beers and ciders. The staff couldn't have been more helpful - all the tables were occupied, so he went inside, found a little serving table and some stools and set it up for us outside. Our drinks orders were taken quickly and the drinks arrived similarly quickly. We enjoyed our experience so went back after our meal and again weren't disappointed. Great atmosphere as well with a very alternative crowd and vibe, and meant we ended up having a great conversation with the table next to us and we weren't the only ones doing that. Being able to sit outside in the vibrant bustle of the street definitely enhanced the experience too.

I submit this shocking experience on behalf of my brother, as he does not have access to technology at the moment: I went into town this afternoon for a few birthday beers with a friend. We initially went to Jam Cafe and sat down at a empty table that two friends offered us, as they were just leaving when we arrived. One of the owners (Bradley) then approached us and told us to get up and wait at the sign, which we did without even questioning. He then went over to two young women and sat them at the table he had just asked us to vacate, note - they arrived 10 minutes after us. The table wasnā€™t reserved or booked and the two younger women were clearly walk in customers exactly as we were. He then asked us to scan in using the track and trace QR code and I told him that Iā€™m unable to do so as I legitimately donā€™t have a working smart phone. We were not offered a manual check-in option (WHICH IS GOV. REGULATIONS). My circumstance clearly didnā€™t sit well with him, as he got very aggressive and told us that we need to do what heā€™s telling us to do and "SCAN IN OR F**K OFF". He then went on to state that "YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SMARTPHONE TO EAR OR DRINK HERE" and "THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE SMART PHONES NEED TO BUY ONE". We didnā€™t bother to stand there and engage with his rudeness, discrimination and illegal behaviour, instead we just walked away in a state of shock. It was a truly disgusting experience and I hope the owner rectifies his attitude, words and reassesses his understanding of 'customer service' and human decency. I am a social worker that works with people and families who have no access to smart phones or any technology which is commonly known as "digital disadvantage" and theyā€™re currently millions of UK citizens who are suffering because of it. What youā€™re trying to enforce can only be described as a social discrimination, that has absolutely nothing to do with health and safety in any way. Itā€™s completely inhumane. Iā€™m genuinely disturbed about how we were treated and feel that the best way to prevent this from happening to other people is to communicate my experience - to inform others how this establishment behaves and hopefully find a better place to spend their hard-earned money. Fortunately we were accepted with no issues whatsoever, into a very nice little venue called 31K at the bottom of Hockley, Nottingham. The staff were absolutely charming, gave us options for checking-in and we ended up having a lovely afternoon drinking in the sun. So if anyone is thinking about having a relaxed drink in town then give JamCafe a wide birth and head straight to 31K.

Rustic but with atmosphere, a kind of "shabby chic" always something Bohemian and unusual to intrigue. On the downside, drinks are expensive with no cordials to add into the drinks. The upside is that it keeps Wspoon customers firmly in Wspoons. Build those thoughts into your expectations and you'll have a fine night.

My friends and I popped in here for a visit to an organised event and were met with the rudest staff member I could ever have had the misfortune to meet. After a faux pas on our part (bringing our own alcohol to a place - as the name suggests and we had not been to before - called a cafe) we were told to rather unkindly ā€œf*ck off and leaveā€, when trying to reason with a staff member, offering a more than generous compromise (ridding our alcohol and paying recompense for the drinks ordered in lieu), we were still rudely told that we were not - nor would we ever be again - welcome back, as they are ā€œthere to make moneyā€. Additionally the facilities are unhygienic and lacking: no soap or toilet roll in either lavatory, graffiti on both cubicles, tables not wiped down, dirty glasses, under poured and over priced drinks, sticky floors, and no hygiene rating displayed.

Came in for a drink, ordered a vodka & soda. The vodka bottle had about 1/2 a shot left in it and the guy behind the bar couldnā€™t be bothered to go get another bottle to top my shot up. Watched him try to drag as much liquid out of it as he could and pass it off as a full shot, it wasnā€™t. I love jam cafe but sort your lazy staff out. So happy to support but not when iā€™m getting ripped off. I suggest if this is common place stick to their great selection of beers and donā€™t go near the spirits.

The Jam Cafe is many things to many people. To me, it's the best place to drink a gorgeous coffee whilst listening to some banging tunes in the bleak midwinter; it's also my favourite spot to sit out in the height of summer and sip a long cool cocktail, as Nottingham throbs slowly past; works too, after a trip to Meadow Lane, with a beer and a few delicious Chinese dishes, co-opted from U-Canteen across the road; and late night, as well, in the midst of Dot to Dot, when it's rammed and smells a bit sulphurous if I'm honest - it's a cracking place then, also- See what I mean? It's all things to all men (and women and gender non-specific). It's ace.

This was our second trip to the restaurant and our expectations were generally met in almost every area. The onion soup was full of flavour. The chicken meal although nice was slightly underwhelming in taste. The 12 oz steak was an absolute highlight ( be warned it is a lot to consume along with the soup). The sticky toffee was nice and as it was my partner's birthday they done a nice job with the sparklers I provided. The resturant was quite full with others using the groupon options. It would have been nice to give my partner a complimentary birthday drink. The champagne in the glass when it was first bought was slightly flat and had to be returned which was slightly disappointing.
