Jenkins Bar in Nottingham

Only stayed for cocktails. I'll happily recommend it.

My daughters favourite local bar so we came to visit last saturday night. I really like the table service and the waiter was really helpful and friendly. Hope to be back soon.

Jenkins hosted my 50th birthday party in January. Aaron and Carolyn couldn’t have been more enthusiastic and helpful from the beginning. As I was looking for an accessible space due to a friend in a wheelchair, they were open to us booking out both the upstairs room and the downstairs for the evening, which was fantastic. Downstairs has step-free access from the rear courtyard and there is an accessible toilet, which was just what we needed. During conversations and communication with Aaron & Carolyn, they were completely flexible and open to my ideas and made helpful suggestions about music and catering options. They even suggested that they could create a special Jenkins birthday cocktail for me for the evening. I visited before the event and met Luke and Ellis, two of the amazing Jenkins team. Luke walked us round the space and talked us through everything, answering any questions we had. Ellis, the Cocktail Maestro, sat down with us, listened to the drinks and flavours I liked, and then came up my very own, unique cocktail. The event itself was fantastic. So many friends commented on what a great venue Jenkins was; so warm and welcoming. It was great being able to have a more chilled space downstairs and a dancefloor upstairs. The birthday cocktail was a big hit and went down really well. Everyone had such a great time and we definitely could have partied into the night, even though we benefitted from a late bar until midnight. I would absolutely recommend Jenkins for a private event. Hosting my birthday party there really made it special and I’d love to repeat it every year! Thank you to all the Jenkins team!

Went here for the first time on Saturday and had a great time. Some great cocktails and lovely staff. Will definitely be back soon

School night but no atmosphere as everyone sat in coats because it was freezing cold. One radiator turned off. Poor. Didn't have food. Drinks Menu encouraged you to ask for drinks not listed - but couldn't do an Aperol Spritz 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Lovely, cosy wine bar that also serves cocktails, Dark and Stormy was fantastic!!

Fantastic friendly place to unwind

Cosy beer and cocktails on a Friday evening. Delicious cocktails, friendly table service, cosy vibe. Recommend!

Great place for an early evening drink. Great service and friendly atmosphere. Music allowed conversation. Really enjoyed it 😊

Great cocktails. Nice atmosphere

I hosted my 30th birthday party at Jenkins in the upstairs area. This is the perfect space for a birthday! I had around 25 guests but the space holds up to 35. Jenkins were so flexible and accommodating when organising my birthday, and they were brilliant on the night too. Great affordable drinks & cocktails. 100% recommend

A chilled, laid back cocktail bar with a strong selection of drinks. Super friendly staff who really do add to the chilled vibe.

Walked in and got an extremely warm welcome. Great cocktails, good prices and great music. Highly recommend!

Really like this bar. Nice cocktails and drinks. Nice environment. Go to place for chilled cocktail bar in sherwood.

Nice atmosphere. Some beers nothing on pull but good craft. Very good wine. ££££ pricey

Just had a lovely evening here. The staff really looked after us and the table service is great!

Recently visited for the first time, and had a really good experience. There’s a wide range of drinks on offer, and a Jenkins cocktail list with some fantastic drinks on, all that we tried were really good. There’s a table service for drinks which has just the right level of attentiveness and all the staff were great. There’s a nice ambiance to the place, from the decoration to having enough tables, but you’re not crammed in too close to others.

Nice little bar in Sherwood, cosy, warm. Great attentive staff. Makes cocktails. Warm atmosphere and comfortable.. Worth popping in to 😊👍

Always a friendly welcome and outstanding service at Jenkins. Great cocktails too!

First trip here! Lovely, cosy atmosphere. We had the midori sours (recommend) Staff was very welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be coming back - Thank you!

Great little bar. Cocktails, small plates and service were all great. Will return.

Lovely dog friendly bar. Gets very busy. They have an outside terrace at the back. Some seating outside the front too.

Very friendly staff and great drink selection

My first time at Jenkins. What a fab bar it is ☺️ We received such a warm welcome and shown to our table. Excellent customer service, cool tunes and such an ambient atmosphere. Shall defo be returning. So worth checking out 😍👍

Lovely friendly bar in Sherwood. They do great Irish Coffees and great cocktails. It's always buzzing and you can bring your dog with you.

Our first time here and wasn't disappointed. Very friendly staff and chilled atmosphere.

What a lovely place. The staff are warm and very welcoming. Excellent drinks and the food, oh the food!

Fantastic drinks,great service, great night. Thank you OMG another great evening at this place definitely recommend.

Lovely atmosphere, great music and polite attentive staff

Great for small groups or a cosy party upstairs.

Great bar, service and atmosphere. Very much recommend 👍😁🍸

Great bar, wonderful staff all round excellent experience would highly recommend. I did however see 2 quite dirty looking delinquents making off with their pineapple shaped glasses without permission.

Truly amazing bar with incredibly kind staff who let me have a fancy pineapple glass! My boring friend was incredibly envious. I think he stole it from me though.

My mate demanded that he take one of their pineapple pina colada glasses home. He has left it at mine. I do intend to return it. Lovely bar, but my friend let down my experience with his behaviour.

Probably the most dog friendly pub/ bar I have ever been to. The owner always seems to be on shift and she is really lovely, friendly, personable and loves the dogs. Also, really nice drinks. Not the cheapest on the high street but I don't think they are trying to compete with the pubs.

Lovely staff, decorations and atmosphere - reasonably priced alternative to town on a Saturday night.

Excellent little bar with a great atmosphere. Drinks are a bit pricey but service is excellent. Only downside is the limited seating.

Lovely place. Very friendly and helpful staff

Really nice atmosphere. Staff lady was really friendly and makes awesome cocktails. Definitely recommend :)

Popped in for afternoon drinks with fellow Nottingham author Nick Archer for a discussion of all things writerly. Great coffee and a few ciders.

Didnt know this place existed ! Thrilled to have found it. Its quaint, friendly and following covid rules.

The perfect Sunday afternoon treat. Throughout 2020 I've been impressed with Crimson Tree's attitude to innovation and adaptability. I've had great takeaways in the park, brunch outside with my parents and plenty of coffee and cake. When my friends and I saw that they were teaming up with Jenkins Bar to offer weekend afternoon tea, we knew it would be good and booked straight away. I'd never been into Jenkins before and what a wonderful surprise, the decor is lush, decadent but at the same time cosy and welcoming. We were greeted by two lovely members of staff who gave us a tour, including the sun trap garden. We were led to our large table in the window upstairs which was peaceful, with comfy sofas that swallowed us up, perfect for a good Sunday afternoon catch up session. Unlike other afternoon teas I've been to, the staff at Jenkins allowed us to take our tea at our own pace, starting with our glass of fizz and a cuppa and relaxing before the food. We were never rushed and felt so comfortable the time whizzed by, the service was exactly right, warm, welcoming and attentive but not overly so. What about the food? I hear you cry. Again, the food was even better than expected. The pictures below show a one person portion so go hungry or take a Tupperware with you! I LOVED their Midlands spin on the traditional. Mini Cobs and a slice of the classic Crimson Tree sausage roll were a great alternative to plain old finger sandwiches. Next up portions of some more Crimson Tree Classics, we ordered tea as we moved on to the sweet stuff and it was excellent with lovely plastic free tea bags. I took my brownie home with me, as I was pretty full, but being the perfect kind of fudgey brownie I think it might even have been better with my morning cuppa the next day. The scones were fluffy and light, I ate one there and took the other home. We had one veggie in our party (we let them know when we booked) and her sausage roll was swapped for a little veggie pastry. When we departed with cheery goodbyes from the team, pleasantly full of food, very happy, handbags full of cake we vowed to make a habit of afternoon tea. Honestly I can't think of anywhere as nice to go in the neighbourhood so I think we'll be back very soon! Thanks guys, keep up the good work!

Well thought out C-19 plan. Good cocktails too!

Lovely Service Owners are Lovely

Good Cocktails 🍸 a warm welcome and cool atmosphere 😎

Lovely decor, drinks price average, 1 slice of cold quiche with a few strands of rocket £7 per slice!! Extortionate ...

great drinks. table service. nice staff.

Always a beautiful experience, wonderful welcome, gorgeous drinks and sumptuous surroundings. What's not to love? Nuttin!

Great table service with a good choice of cocktails!

Great place to pop in for a drink after work

A little pricey, but great vibe.

Lovely service, excellent prices and every drink was served with a smile.

Great selection of gin, relaxing atmosphere.

Love this place..its just like Cheers..feel so comfortable going in here for a drink on my own...

Menu needs more information as just single lines and a price - googled a few drinks. Went on a busy Friday but did get a table and maybe when less busy can ask about offerings. Had two drinks but came to more than price advertised when paid at end. Didn't argue and maybe there is a charge for table service? It's not for us but lots of people happy there and reviews seem good so not not recommending.

Service good, beer OK, bit pricey

Yeah bang on. Good service n staff. Brill evening

What a great place. Super friendly. Great beer and wine selection and the staff and owners are the best in Sherwood.

Owner took time to ask us for feedback and it was all good! Nice interaction & felt appreciated as a customer. Gunpowder plot cocktail does what it says on the tin!!!!!!

Great hospitality. Very warm welcome. Great drinks

Nice little cosy bar, great selection of beers/wines and a small offering of bites to eat. The whole atmosphere is helped by very helpful and friendly staff.

Cracking smart venue with a great range of grog

Plain poor beer selection nice staff but overpriced.

Nice cosy place good wine selection but a bit limited for beer

Attended a wake there. Very attentive staff. Also had drinks there a few weeks ago. Great service x

The best bar in Sherwood. Delicious cocktails, beautiful décor and friendly staff.

Fabulous! Great atmosphere and really lovely and friendly staff. We are lucky to have this fab bar as our local 😁

Comfortable place, nice ambience. Drinks a little higher priced but 10 times better than Sherwood manor on a Friday night x

Enthusiastic staff for this small venue. Good range of spirits and cocktails. Beer selection much less strong.

lovely interior and stunning Italian Prosecco. Service was spot on, and the seats in the window are a must

Great place to go for a drink with friends service is great staff are so friendly. Decor is fantastic, love it.

A large selection of original, signature drinks. Nice place. Unfortunately, the service was poor. Too pushy.

Great local bar. The owner and staff are lovely, and the cocktails are really nice!

Great little bar in Sherwood, good selection of drinks to keep everyone sweet. The cocktails are great, really nice place to be, they've got a great atmosphere and you'd never know you weren't in the city centre! Highly recommended.

Very nice and relaxing environment however I fount the staff to be very pushy in keep asking us about 5 times if we want a drink staight after the first one. Then asked us do we want the bill!! As if they want you out. It's a shame staff needs to work on their customer service.

Love it. Great table service and good atmosphere

Nice place clean & a good atmosphere excellent staff although not cheap to drink there

Great little bar for a chat with freinds and relax. Good staff and good drinks plus snacks

They have a list of lovely tonic waters that they never have in stock. Why? Feels a bit 'cold in there, I hoped for better.

Have been in before..great service..will def visit again

Good drink. Nice staff. Comfy surroundings will be back.

Visit with girls at December for few drinks,was ok but nothing special,I believed it's improved since so will pop in back soon.

Went on a Thursday night and it got busier while we were there. We loved the deco and table service was a bonus we got very well looked after even had a laugh with them. the vintage glasses the beer arrived in were a nice touch! Have already highly recommended and would come again to try the cocktails

Walked in and he just said “upstairs...... theres a bar upstairs”!! Me:- “why, don’t you want us down here”? Him:- “theres more room up there” There were at least 2 tables and 2 bar stools free!!! Anyway, go’s upstairs and the other bar man says we’re fully booked🤣🤣, there was one couple and 10/12 empty tables🤣. I said we are only staying for 1 as we have a meal booked down the road. He said ok sit anywhere 🤣🤣🤣. So i said what Lagers do you have on draught, he said you have to go downstairs for draught 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, you get my drift???!!!!! Know this :- you’re NOT trendy.

First time visit, last night for a friend birthday. The place looks fabulous and it truly is. Drinks were beautifully put together. The staff were most welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. We had the whole of the upstairs it was fab.. Jenkins a well deserved five stars. Well worth a visit.

New wine and cocktail bar which is a welcome addition to Sherwood’s blooming bar scene. Great list of cocktails, original beers and a nice wine list. Looking forward to testing the full menu over the new few months

First time visit, Saturday night for our Anniversary. The place looks amazing a nice addition to the up and coming Sherwood. Drinks were both imaginative and fairly priced. Even better still is table service great idea for a small bar as it would get packed easily. Welcome to Sherwood Jenkins Five well deserved stars.
