Tilt in Nottingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fabulous place for a cocktail and great service by the staff and mixologists. Go here if you're after an authentic, quirky and cozy cocktail venue

Wow!! Great place- top notch cocktails, great team - really nice touches!

Used to be arguably the best cocktail place in the country. Not sure when it happened but, it seems to be under new ownership. The menu is now tiny and very limited. They will make drinks if you ask but the quality is not even close to how it once was. What was once a delicious thick creamy and natural tasting Pina Colada now feels like it came from a slushy machine (I think it did) Actually quite sad how worse it is. It's not TERRIBLE but it's nothing special now.

First time visiting. Meeting friends for drinks. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Ice tea and pretzels are a nice touch too. Will be visiting again soon

Really great cocktails. Excellent music and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Tyler was incredible. Life changing bar service.

Give Tyler a pay rise we love him plz and thank you.

Best place, Tyler was amazing!!! The only reason i shall come back. Give Tyler a pay rise on a Tuesday

Tilt has quickly become one of my favorite places in notts for a drink, a relax and a vibe. The atmosphere is excellent, the team at Tilt are very friendly and their latest menu refresh is exceptional. Id particularly recommend this place for their non alcoholic drinks, Tilt has been the best sober drinking experience I've had since giving up alcohol. Their low/no alcohol mixed drinks are given just as much care as their cocktails. Definitely check this place out.

It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Although the Death Star has been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from their hidden base and pursued them across the galaxy. Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. The snacks and cocktails are both great in flavour and price. (Vegan cocktails too)

Decent cocktail bar in the middle of town. They offer a nice mix of standard cocktails and they own twists. I sought advice and I have to say they hit the mark with each that I tried

Good little bar with very friendly staff and nice drinks.

Friendly attentive intimate bar with great drinks and ambience!

Cozy, hidden city centre spot which I really enjoy going to for a drink or two. Menu has changed for slightly less interesting drinks since I first went, but still a fantastic vibe and great friendly service.

They have changed the cocktails. They used to be excellent, now they are mediocre

Beautiful little cocktail bar, very cosy and they provided free ice tea and popcorn at the start. Menu has a selection of drinks.

Lovely atmosphere and really great knowledgeable staff. The happy hour deal is a no-brainer when looking for good cocktails in the city center. Complimentary snacks and a soft drink on arrival is really great too.

Our favourite cocktail bar in Nottingham I've been going here semi regularly for the past year, and it's been great to see it go from strength to strength

Excellent cocktails and service in a cosy, dimly lit and comfortable bar.

Great little bar, good service and atmosphere plying bluesy jazz tracks, would go back, not sure if they do any food as only saw a drinks menu as we were in there after midnight, would defo go back

Nice drinks, good value during happy hour. Lovey decor and a warm atmosphere.

Great place for cocktails, I recommend the coffe old fashioned if your a whiskey drinker 👍, great service, will definitely be coming back again

The new bar is a little monolithic and overbearing (I liked it where it was, but I think that's driven by nostalgia from the old Cookie Club days) and clumsily overlaps the historic fireplace, however this has opened up the space quite a bit, making it a pleasant and interesting space to spend time in. Staff are super.

Excellent staff. Lovely cocktails. Definitely worth a visit.

A large selection of cocktails and a great atmosphere! The staff were great and the general vibe was friendly and relaxing. I will definitely be back (happy hour 5-7 tue-fri.

Cosy with good cocktails and great happy hour offer

If you like cocktails, this is a great place to visit, lots to choose from and better quality than some of the other cocktail bars, well worth a trip

Tilt is one of those bars that you return to everytime you come to Notts and is the first place you think of when some suggests drinks. It's cozy and welcoming and the staff are experts, they'll always try to make room for you.

We love Tilt. We always used to visit when we lived in town, but haven't been for a while. Love the layout of the bar now, it feels much more spacious. The staff there are great too! Cocktails are amazing.

The best cocktail bar in town! Amazing!

Great service, we had a great evening

If you're looking for quality cocktails, this is the spot. Everything is done with care, love and knowledge. I had one of the best vespers of my life here l!

Very nice and well priced cocktails for Nottingham

This place is an OG venue for me. It’s cool, it’s sexy and it got great cocktails. I only ever order an Old Fashion but it’s the best I’ve had. The only problem is that it used to be way better. They seem to have limited access to the top floor which in the past would have guys on dialling guitars giving out some proper nice rustic American mid west course try vibes. However, they seem to have done away with that. I’m not sure what their plan is for that space but come on guys get the guitars back.

Intimate cocktail bar, drinks nicely mixed and reasonably priced....I did not realise it was happy hour so bonus

Excellent and knowledgeable staff. Very sociable and talkative. Would highly recommend them cocktails/atmosphere

Absolutely fantastic. They can make any cocktail so ignore the menu. Best coctail bar I've been to in at least a decade

Quite pricey, with an eerie atmosphere. The drink I had was very strong, to the point where it just wasn’t pleasant and I spent £9 to have two sips of my cocktail.

Mmmm extreme good cocktails small place

My favourite cocktail bar - and I have been to a few! The team, headed by Tahlia are super friendly, love chatting with the clientele (or maybe they were just humouring me) and if there is a cocktail that isn't on the list, they know how to make it and make it perfectly! That's not to say their own cocktails are substandard - anything but! The team have really good taste and know how to come up with novel drinks that are sublime. You have to visit - but please not all at once - it's not a huge bar, and I want a seat!

Fantastic quality cocktails A knowledgeable friendly staff and great cosy atmosphere

Cute bar in Notts with a good choice of cocktails. Staff are friendly and if you go during happy hour there’s some good deals.

Told us it was closed when it was quite obviously open. Apparently they are very picky with their clients.

Apparently wrong clientele. Bouncers make claim that closed a couple of hours earlier, despite obviously being open. Disappointed.

Great cocktails, great vibes, even better at happy hour! Highly recommended. :)

After 8 cocktail was delightful. TY. No draught on tap.

great cocktails, lovely atmosphere!

Great vibes! I love this place and consider myself to be a regular. It is amazing for all ages (even those on the older scale, like myself!), the eye candy behind the bar deserves a review in itself, even my husband agrees! I want to specifically mention the front of house Dan who always makes us feel like family, I wish I could adopt him or be his cougar as he is so special.

Only is in but the cocktails were good

Absolutely amazing. I can not recommend this enough. I also recommend this drink called ‘After Eight’

Definitely a hidden gem, hands down best place for a French martini and old fashioned

Stellar Service matched only by the Spectacular Food & Drink - a must visit.

Great venue. Great cocktails and staff

One of the best cocktail bars in Nottingham. Music is at the right volume and good selection. Try a chilli dipper martini- honestly the finest alcoholic thing I've tasted.

Love this place, only a small place but offers great cocktails with a good atmosphere with music playing but in the background so you can all communicate with your company, the place does seems to be unknown as I've always managed to get a seat when going might be a little off the beaten track but well worth the visit

Great service and friendly staff, the vibe is also really nice and chill. Also this is weird but it smelt great 🤣!

Fast service and good cocktails.

I like quirky cocktails and off the wall malarkey as much as the next person. I liked tilt because it is a little bar and because the Sir Bullion cocktail was one of the very finest I've ever tasted. Considered and executed perfectly in choice and proportions, an absolute treat.

Interesting and tasty selection of drinks, good service. Reasonably priced at happy hour.

Fabulous bar and during happy hour you can't go wrong. Very tasty drinks, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

Excellent customer service, good vibes and where I only had the Gin Garden cocktail, I'd definitely recommended it. Very tasty.

Quality music, quality place. If you like Alternative music and sweet Cocktails go here. Tilt Up!

Nice cocktail bar in Nottingham. Unfortunately I had an incident with the one of the staff members who informed my friends and I that this was our last round. His reasons were that we were too loud. We were shocked that in a bar playing music, there is such a thing as being too loud. And when we went to speak to this staff member he quickly took it back and apologised. Poor service and clearly not valuing the customers. Although I think this was one person with poor judgement, it ruined it.

One of my favourite cocktail bars in Nottingham. First time back since restrictions have eased and it was an easy process finding a table. Drinks are just out of this world. Can't wait to go back.

Always friendly and great service and food

Amazing venue with knowledgeable staff that will help you through the menu! Recommended for couples out for a nice drink and usually good love music pre covid!

Nice cocktails but smelt like pee.

One of my favourite bars in Nottingham - love a date night here.

Great cocktail amazing toastie sandwich and chips nice and hot staff so nice and friendly

Another FANTASTIC evening at Sample above Tilt. Honestly bring any guests we have to this place - the concept sells itself but the service is always amazing and the staff are super friendly. Thanks for another amazing evening. We’re back again in two weeks!!! 5/5

I really like Tilt and think they have a good choice of cocktails but don't take anyone that's into real ale or you'll never hear the end of it! Cute layout as well, but be careful going up and down the stairs if you've had a few drinks as they're a bit of a trip hazard if you're 3 sheets to the wind!

Lovely cocktails, great atmosphere, steep stairs to climb

Tilt is easily the best cocktail bar in Nottingham. Be ready for them to teach you what makes a good cocktail no matter what your preconceptions may be.

Brilliant cocktails. Really recommend the Beekeeper or the Broke After Eight.

Nowhere near enough seating now that the upstairs has turned in to a super-hip bespoke eatery.

Great cocktails and a nice environment, even better now they have moved the bar to the other side of the room. Wish they had a lager on tap!!

Interesting venue in the city centre. Also visited SAMPLE which is upstairs from TILT. Good food, good drink. Pleasant polite helpful staff

This review is on the restaurant section. Excellent friendly service in a pleasant original setting. However, the premises are exposed to the kitchen and we were left with a heavy fry smell in our clothes. Food was very well presented and above average but nothing exceptional. I would recommend the place for its unique experience but I don't think we'll be going again. Value for money is good if you're there for the experience; rather bad value if you're there for the food.

Nice and good offers on wednesday evening on cocktails

A hidden GEM and great concept of a small restaurant based around ingredients and not a menu. Definately worth experiencing - it's all about the unknown surprise delivered for you to eat.

Myself and a friend recently visited Sample and had a great experience. The restaurant itself is quaint, warm and cosy with dim lighting, and is decorated with dried and home pickled ingredients that the chefs use in their dishes. The menu is a interesting concept, with two variations for each ingredient on the blackboard. The ingredients are locally sourced and change with the seasons, so you'll never get bored if dining here frequently. Upon arrival, we were greeted and given some fresh baked lemon and turmeric foccacia with olive oil that was delicious, so much that we asked for seconds. The concept of the menu and the ingredients were well explained to us by our server before ordering. The food portions are well presented Michelin style portions, with each dish explained to us by our server. Some dishes that stood out were the fried bream with Japanese sauce, bean balls with pickled onions and a basil emulsion, and duck with mango salsa and pomegranate. The posh rendition of "beans and toast" - sourdough with borletti beans, tomatoes served with black pudding and truffle butter, was a favourite of mine and somewhat nostalgic. We ate around 14 courses each and were both stuffed by the end of the evening. At just £24.99 per person this was a great value for money experience and we look forward to returning in the near future.

Not cheap but you pay for quality. Friendly, classy and delicious. A favourite for a date with the wife.

Great concept for tapas, which is based on choosing an ingredient and the chefs make one of two options. £25pp and it's eat as much as you like, so definitely good value!

Birthday meal at Sample in Tilt restaurant .

Lovely cocktails, staff are always friendly, atmosphere buzzing! Great night out! It's a small venue so get there early for a seat, otherwise just enjoy the bustle!

Had wanted to go to Sample for months and only had the opportunity to yesterday evening. Service was immaculate - our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, providing her own recommendations without forcing them down our throats. She definitely went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our evening. We got to sample 13 of the on-board dishes and were pretty wow'd by the pork and the chicken options. That being said, every dish we had was very carefully prepared and really tasty! Great value for money too. Would highly recommend Sample to-all.

Lovely cocktail bar, I miss the old tilt menu though

Gorgeous, top quality cocktails, love it here

The new restaurant on last floor is amazing, you just choose the main ingredients and the chef prepares high quality dishes for you randomly. The quality is very good and price medium, two people we spent £75 with a ottel of wine. Recommended

Was first time went as partner goes alot friendly bar

Love the cocktails here! Always stop off for one on an evening out

really good cocktails. nice and cosy atmosphere too

Fantastic food, amazing service and great price - I would have happily paid £10 more per person. Wine was also a good price too. We got a beautiful bottle of red for around £17.

Lovely bar, great cocktails, prices are about up there for non-cocktail drinks like beer and lager and they've stopped playing blues sadly

New sample restaurant amazing new zero waste concept, choose a base ingredient and the dish is built around it and described when delivered. Tapas concept, choice of courses. Amazing food and wonderful service.

This review is for the Restaurant above Tilt named SAMPLE. Keep going to the top floor in Tilt, and you will find one of Nottingham's finest eateries. This place has only just opened, but we had heard good things, so decided to book a table for 4. We were not disappointed, this place exceeded our expectations on every level. The service was excellent, the food was amazing (every new plate brought flavour and quality) and to be honest at £22.95 per head for the food you are getting (we had 17 plates worth) it's a steal. Highly recommended to all. If I could leave 6 🌟 I would!!

This is a review for Sample, the restaurant on the top floor. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and it was really good value for money. They had great vegetarian dishes and meat dishes. I definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Awesome cocktails in a really relaxed atmosphere Good music as well which is always a plus. Well worth a visit!

Amazing cocktails. Properly made by people who know what they are doing. A refreshing change from the style over substance cocktails served in many places.

Some might be put off by the slightly-more-expensive-than-other-places cocktails but you definitely get more than what you pay for. It's a great little place tucked away behind a blink and you miss it doorway. The staff are great and there is live music here occasionally. I have never had a bad cocktail at tilt and the atmosphere is great, even when it's packed to the gills. Without a doubt my favourite cocktail bar in Nottingham.
