Penny Lane in Nottingham

This lady has taken on a tattoo that someone else started on me and as unfortunately closed down,but penny lane as taken it in her stride and done a amazing job at finishing it 👏. The details in the tattoo that she has done is absolutely stunning 😍, i would definitely recommend for a fine detail tattooist and will definitely be back 👌

Had to change food after we had ordered because they had run out, plus everything was VERY salty. Generally not great food at all. A nice place, and fun to have drinks and play at the arcade, but not a culinary treat.

if you like playing pinball and other machines then this is the one for you.

Service wasn't great can't rate the food as didn't have any but seemed like a really good atmosphere just needs more things to do in there

Great fun pub, complete eith amusements

Visited on quiet Thursday night hoping to play pinball but they don't have that anymore. Bought a couple of pints, service was very poor. Guess you would get a very different experience on a busy night but if you can't serve a pint when the bar is quiet then there is no incentive to go back

Great venue with a great look. Some awesome arcade games for all the family. Can have hours of fun here

Lovely staff, very attentive. Had a great night, one of my favourite places!

Fun place, great cocktails, great games and service was spot on! A young dark haired lad think his name was Joe Was amazing, he made friends with my 4 year old boy 🙏 definitely returning

It's good, I enjoyed my time here but it's not somewhere I would go again. Some machines weren't working well and everything felt pretty dirty

Brilliant staff. Kept us safe when a guy followed us all night. Such lovely service. Made us so safe and so lovely. Perfect staff. Kept children and women safe. Cannot stress enough how brilliant they are.

Brilliant staff I felt so comfortable and loved every moment as they helped so much , I couldn’t stress enough to come here as they are just perfect people that’s seriously deserve the best in the world. Please make them feel loved 🤍

Brilliant service. We came in for a speaific cocktail that we had last year but didn’t realise that the menu had changed. The lady behind the bar said she’d do her best to recreate it for us and she did a fantastic job. 10/10. Thank you!

Hotdogs were grey in colour, not sure if they had been frozen for a while and was quite herby and the taste a bit overpowering for some of us. The burgers were pretty good and curly fries were lovely. Cocktails were just ok as well, not sure with it being so quiet when we went that it impacted quality or not

Top fun. The shooting game and the fortune teller were my favourites. Also ducks 🦆

Absolutely awful service. The bouncer was so so rude to us as we came in. We were wearing pub golf hats and he told us we had to remove them which we did and then he came over and said we had to finish our drinks and leave as they ‘don’t accept pub golf’ even though they let us come in knowing we were pub golf. The bartender said they accept pub golf all the time and that we weren’t rowdy at all. The bouncer them came over and was rude to us again telling us to leave. We spoke to a manger and they weren’t listening to us at all. My friend was crying after being shouted at us and they were completely unsympathetic and didn’t listen to our complaints at all. We’d speak and they spoke over us and spouted out generic phases. The staff were overall unsupportive and unresponsive and overall useless. Wouldn’t come here again.

The bouncer was so rude, he was a bald angry man. He shouted at us as we came in for wearing hats before even asking us to remove them. Just a generally very aggressive demeanour. He then shouted at us while we were inside and then let multiple people with hats on through the door, all men, and didn’t say a single thing to them. It was overall a very hostile atmosphere mostly caused by the bouncer but reinforced by the rest of the staff. Whatever bouncer we had was clearly very power hungry and just looking for a problem. Would stop me from coming again definitely.

Love the concept of this place. Staff are all lovely, only issue is the queuing for drinks was a while each time. Apart from that cannot fault the place

Food was delicious. We did have to remind the server that our child had a pudding ordered. Great old tunes over the sound system which was at a good pitch, so we could still talk without having to shout at each other. A variety of games in the arcade area, tho not always clear how many tokens needed and where to put them. Only got 8 tokens for £10 so when what was supposed to be a 2 player game ends up as 1, that felt like a wasted token. The 2p push slots were so heavily piled up I think we won a total of 8p and a young lad stole mine out of the machine and refused to give them back!! Cheeky sod!! But, all that said, ut was a lovely time for a catch up with my friend and her daughter, with nice food in a sound environment. I personally wouldn't go again, but it you haven't been it's worth the visit. If you have the extra pennies to spare. Thanks for a lovely 2hrs slot.

Very expensive, I drink bitter which they don't sell so didn't have a drink. Machines very expensive £10 for 8 tokens. have 2 young kids so very expensive. Food was expensive, so did not eat there, got food on way home. Went there for a birthday party so very disappointing, except kids loved it.

amazing night but staff are so stretched most nights its impossible to get a drink, maybe some speed pumps would just finish this place

Ioved this place never been before first time Saturday my son and his girlfriend took me will defo return

Very nice place. Good food and drinks.

Cocktails are extremely weak. Came here for happy hour on a Sunday and even at essentially £5.50 a cocktail we wouldn’t pay that again. Don’t waste your money!

Funky place to drink and great idea to have a games area to have some fun

Good fun, very popular. Went for drink and played the arcade games, lots of fun 👍

Great cocktail range, nostalgic 70/80s music and amazing arcade games for all ages!

Place is great but the food is disappointing, don't bother with the desserts, not as described & nothing like the pic on the menu .

Great venue and attentive staff.

Cool place. No real ale or cyder, stocks the usual array of london type larger and keg beer at higher than average price for notts. The games are fun and it's easy to get tokens to play them which work out at £1.25 each but after half an hour or so you will have done all the ones you want to play so a good stopping place as part of a larger night.

Good food, lots of options for drinks. The arcade is the best part, good place to go with friends and family.

Not for me loud and a fight broke out. Food was awful

Good for some fun. 10quid for tokens got us a few fun games and I would recommend going for the ice hockey which is good fun. Beer selection isn't great, but it's a place to play some games and have fun for a few hours.

This is a great idea for a bar, just wish there was other old school games to play.

Pre-made cocktails in a bottle?!?! £11.45 for a cocktail that is already pre made in a bottle is scandalous. Staff are whipping the cocktail makers round like it’s hard to mix pre made sprits with Ice. Imagine £11.45 for a cocktail that’s being poured from a bottle pre-made in a factory. Get yourself to Wetherspoons for 1/2 the price. How can you justify?

Really enjoyed the food and the and the games are fun but it is very noisy

This is a great atmosphere to play party games and be taken back to your childhood would rate to go play games and drink beer for sure! Our food was cold and quite stale it came out super quick we had hotdogs and wings. The hotdog buns were hard and crusty at the ends showing it was left out out and sausages cold. It’s super busy so I’m guessing they have these out and ready for chips and sauces. No server was available so we couldn’t mention this to them. The wings were fine just regular frozen wigs cooked with a sauce dribbled over the top. The drinks were hot and miss but you’re paying for the novelty of them. We order 6 cocktails in total and 2 in it if the 6 would order again. The games were so much fun so if I was going again I would drink beer and just play games. Then go for a nice cocktail and some food elsewhere after. Can’t really be any fairer than that. I would love this to of been rectified but no one was around at all as it’s all mobile and bar ordering.

Works Xmas do here. Drank a lot. Thirsty. Ate a lot. Tasty. Got told I was very attractive. Blushes. Rode hungry hippos. Lost. That's all I remember but would defo's go back.

Cracking place. Not ate here before but they do some lovely drinks including mocktails. The arcade is great fun too. We always try and pop in here when we go to Nottingham.

This is a very busy place with something for everyone.

Came as part of a group, food was tasty and the menu had lots of choice. Nothing spectacular but filled me up, mozzarella sticks were a highlight. Arcade machines were great, mixture of token machines and 2p machines. Would recommend for the interesting cocktails also!

First time going what a good experience

Ross and Natalie were superb bartenders and really friendly, will deffo come back!!!

Ordered spicy burger, which was in keeping with ones I had overseas, unlike many UK places. Fries and other sides extra. Ribs were also excellent

Fantastic atmosphere, great music, drinks a bit pricey

We ordered on the app, and our drinks (2 cans and a pint) took over 25 minutes to arrive (after chasing). Then another 25 mins for hot sandwiches and chips. And the waiter had a face like thunder. Food was fine and the atmosphere was nice.

Games don’t work, drinks are weak. When you complain about the games they never get fixed

Very nice place.... the sofa it was great...

Well I was surprised at how bad the staff are and how awful their practices are. Went here with friends ordered a glass of Zinfandel,the bar staff rinsed the glass with water and was about to pour the wine in until I noticed a few mil of water in the glass. I quickly grabbed it and turned it upside down for the water to leave the glass otherwise it would've been watered down and then she did the exact the same to two pints of lager that I couldn't do anything about. As she poured into the glass it was flat as a pancake until she got 3/4 the way and started swilling around to get a head on it. 4 drinks was over 20 quid but when you get rubbish service and cowboy antics with the glasses it really annoys me. Will never go back. Sorry to be blunt but it really was garbage.

Great cocktails 🍹 Entertaining venue with its ammusment arcade machines 🕹️

Even though we were right on the cusp of the deadline for food, Natalie sorted us out and was so patient with us x

Great bar albeit expensive, must be tried..with arcades, air hockey and drinks!

Decent venue, good place for pre drinks. It was quite quiet when we visited, but I'm sure the atmosphere is better during busier hours.

Good bar with arcade games available. Staff is welcoming and nice. Good fun

Had a great time! Really fun, good games and great service by Ross.

A great place for food and drink, plus the bonus of playing some retro games. Anything from Outrun 2, Air Hockey, 2p machines and even a Zoltar Fortune Teller. Fun for all the family.

Great place and 2 for 1 on cocktails

Bar with cocktails and an old arcade like at the seaside. Air hockey, penny drop, horse races etc. Good atmosphere.

Waited for ages to get served at the bar for a drink as there was 4 people all just talking behind the bar..... Rest was great

Love the two penny pushers & air hockey just like being at the seaside in the middle of the city

Matthew was very friendly and provided great service late at night. Fun environment and unique to Nottingham.

Loved this place 10 out of 10. Fun for kids to go to or even to have fun as adults. Everyone I was with enjoyed their selves. The cocktail jug life is my fav cocktail there. I ate cheeseburger and fries.. it was lovely

A cool little arcade and pub. Great for kids and adults.

3* because its so overpriced now. I understand the whole idea and what it's about, but drinks, games far too much over priced now.

Didn't have the food but looked nice, shame about the games side as most of the machines were really run down and don't work. Also 8 tokens for £10? Why not just make it £1 per token 😅 Cocktails where nice but at £11 a pop you wouldn't have many. Good for a one off but wouldn't go again sadly

Very good place. Different from your normal pub. Games and entertainment. Prices for drinks are slightly pricy

Great place friendly staff. Excellent time.🙂

Very creative cocktails with great scenery. Happy hour until 9pm!

It's good... Once... The novelty of the arcade machines is great the first time. But a lot of the time the machines don't work correctly and it's very expensive. The drinks are very expensive and the wait times can be very long. But it's definitely worth going at least once just to experience it. It's okay. But looks better than it actually is

Great place for drinks and arcade games, loads of games to choose from, no end of fun

The cocktails are really nice and tasty with a wide variety to choose from. There are some sweet options that are original and feel like desserts in a glass! The food is also pretty good. Their small plates like the Brie wedges, Halloumi fries and sweet potato fries are very good, not too oily and pretty tasty! I personally was not entirely satisfied with the sandwich as I found the baguette bread quite dry. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is really nice both for a meal during the day or drinks in the evening. Good retro music and a lot of fun arcade games! It’s worth checking out!

Had a great afternoon there, atmosphere is great and superb decor. Food was good, drinks good if a little on the pricey side for the beers we had. Some of the machines were broken too, like the Outrun machine with only one screen but the steering was broken, a roulette machine doing its own thing and a hockey machine out of action but taking money. Must get a hammer but given the focus of it could just use a bit of TLC. Tokens could use a bit of balancing too, some games gave a lot of a value, some barely seconds - make them cheaper but make some double token, like the air hockey/hockey etc. A couple more classic arcade machines (SF2 / Final Fight etc) would be great to just add a bit variety too. Grateful this place exists, just with another 10% it could be beyond dynamite.

OK but felt a bit like a seaside pub

Like a little bit of beach arcade in the centre of the city, great tasting and imaginative cocktails. Fun to be had through the day and night.

Have visited a few times with different groups of people, and always had a good time. We’ve never tried the food but the cocktails are nice, and a good deal when the 2for1 offer is running. The games tokens are reasonably priced, although the quality of some games are better than others. It is a bit difficult when there’s only a few of you playing games, and you don’t have a table, meaning there’s nowhere to keep your bags and coats. Unless you put them on the floor. I think that aspect of the bar could be improved!

We visited on a Saturday night, it's best to pre book the games as it can be very busy. Really enjoyed it, much more fun than a regular bar.

Ok, for a 1 off visit, some machines are not working correctly. The floor was covered in water/drinks, and we almost slipped over several times. Drink fairly expensive compared to other bars in the area. Don't think I would rush back here anytime soon.

Didn't have food but the tokens were £1.25 each, some games were definitely better value than others e.g. the air hockey

A good place to socialis for most age groups.

Had a great time and won several stuffed ducks. I now have too many ducks.

Food was good, staff seemed a bit dull, atmosphere was okay, arcade machines are old and a lot of them are not working properly ie tokens get stuck, machines don't turn on or function properly, example hockey puck got stuck and basketball machine wouldn't display score.

We had a fabulous time with some lovely cocktails yesterday unfortunately I put my sunglasses down and someone has stolen them whilst their I asked staff if they had been handed in and got told "I dont think so sorry" (they didn't check) which was disappointing and why my review is low 😔 I would return again as we had a gun time but was disappointed by this.

Love this place, great for the young and not so young! We enjoyed a pint and food while listening to some great music. And of course played some fun arcade games.

Very expensive drinks and a on all round with the arcade games avoid at all costs

Cool bar with themed drinks and games. I went when it was happy hour 2 for 1... good times to be had here. Staff were wonderful.

One of my go to places when out cocktail drinking in Nottingham! Located right outside the Lace Market tram stop. There’s a wide range of cocktails and other drinks as well as mocktails for those who don’t drink. The cocktails often come with extras (packet of sweets, small inflatable, post card and pencil etc etc) which is a nice touch. We often have food in here too which is always hot and tasty, plus comes straight to your table after you’ve ordered on the app. It can be a pricey day out if having cocktails, food and playing the arcade games but there’s often 2-4-1 cocktails offers on which is a bonus. Staff are always friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is great.

Great fun so nostalgic. Amazing place to kick start your day session off

Fab place for drinks (food will be next time) and arcade entertainment. The staff and service is great, friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Ria for taking care of us during our visit - THANK YOU 🎉🥳👏

A great fun place to go for a drink and a play. We went on a work night out and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

great atmosphere, music was great! we got the tutti grutto and skittle cocktails, they were very tasty. arcade looks fun as well.

Extremely busy in Saturday afternoon after football match. Couldn't get to the bat.

Great atmosphere, lively but not loud. Mixes modern pub and dining with video arcade.

Not a lot going on here. Machines are tired, not much variety and the donkey derby wasn't activated. Cocktails were ok but overpriced, the staff were great though.

Good prices for a tourist and games to get you social

Great atmosphere and good music

Fun novelty of arcade and fair games, but past that fairly average good and beer. Fun for part of the night out but otherwise just pure novelty

Cocktails are good & the games are fun but there could be more of them. The food is awful though. So overpriced for what it is & actually tastless. Poor service too like only bringing out half our meals despite us being the only people in there ordering food.

Food was good, service was even better.

Fun spot, would be great fun with a group. I was there early and not drinking but liked the concept of all the games. Air hockey tables need a bit more air going through them. Probably 4 stars if I was with a group and out for the night. Need a better selection of no alcohol beers, rather than a token 1 that isn't great.
