Waterside Bar + Kitchen in Rushcliffe

We have twice used the Waterside Bar + Kitchen for all day team events. The conservatory area is a great space which can be closed off from the main bar and restaurant, giving privacy and a dedicated space for business meetings which you can set up according to your needs. On both occasions, the staff were extremely accommodating and couldn't do enough for us with a steady stream of hot drinks and water. Lunch was delicious and served at a time that fitted with our agenda. I would highly recommend the Waterside for business meetings if you are in the Trent Bridge/ West Bridgford area. We will definitely use again.

Really good at the restaurant today after the remembrance service. Special mention to Sean for looking after us today and there were no problems at all. Food was really good and quick service especially with the football on.

Love this place! Super friendly staff, banging burgers and Moretti Sale Di Mare on tap... what's not to love?! Great spot by the trent

Buena relación calidad-precio, buena selección de bebidas ofertas y ofertas, bonito patio exterior, mesa de billar acogedor personal muestra el fútbol y buena comida. Quisiera unas cervezas indie adecuadas no Heineken disfrazado pero aparte de eso es bueno

Vine con algunos de mis amigos para algunos cócteles que recomendaría encarecidamente. Georgie es un miembro fenomenal del personal y se aseguró de que tuvimos la mejor noche. Ella era muy consciente de todos los cócteles y recomendó los mejores. Sin duda volveremos.

All is well and amazing in the house really appreciate the teams support and service and specially the polite way of treating the guests!!

Traje a mis amigos para algunas bebidas la semana pasada y estaba muy impresionado por el servicio. Daria se inclinó hacia atrás para asegurarnos de que tuvimos un tiempo MUY agradable. 10 / 10

Excellent venue, great staff and fabulous service

Unreal atmosphere. I have never been so satisfied in my life.

Gabbi made my experience here, heaven on EARTH

Great venue with friendly and efficient staff.

Gabby behind the bar was an absolute legend great banter unreal atmosphere!

Such great food and a really lovely atmosphere! Staff were great, especially Sam. Would highly recommend!

Si eres amante de la comida como yo. ¡Te encantará Waterside Bar y Cocina! El menú ofrece una amplia variedad de opciones. Cada visita a Waterside con mi familia es siempre una razón para volver. El ambiente es impresionante, especialmente la zona de vista al río. El gerente "Steve" es increíblemente servicial y hace un esfuerzo adicional para garantizar que los huéspedes estén contentos. El personal es encantador. Volveríamos solo por el servicio.

Waterside is an amazing restaurant with a good variety on the menu list. The staff are amazing, and the manager Steve is awesome with a good managerial role to ensure the satisfaction of guests. The riverview seating area is such a beauty. We always look forward to another visit!

Loved the service and the manager was amazing!

The restaurant is one of the best in Nottingham, located at the Riverside with gorgeous views. The food is excellent, the prices are very affordable. The staff is the most welcoming, especially Steve (the manager) is absolutely fabulous. He always makes sure the clients are happy and satisfied with the service provided at the restaurant, making sure everything is at the client's taste. Highly recommended restaurant and services. My favourite 😍

Went for food and drink before tonight's match at the City Ground. I can't speak highly enough about the level of service there. All my interactions with the staff were excellent. They really knew their stuff and their recommendations for food were fantastic. I will definitely be going back for another pre-match meal when I can.

Excellent bar service, quick and efficient and always with a smile on their faces. Staff friendly and always happy to help

The place had a beautiful feel: the staff, the atmosphere and the quality of food and drinks. The tables were nice and cosy and the kind of places that feel great as a pub or a restaurant. Menu was simple but varied and food was so tasty.

Great place, lovely, friendly staff, always brilliant atmosphere

Best place to be customers service is extremely excellent very good experience and very nice staffs you feel very welcome they made feel like you part of the family I will always recommend it to everyone regards

Been in here for drinks a few times and I’m always looked after very well. Georgie has always been very attentive and friendly, always got a big smile on her face. The workers seem happy to be here and the manager Steve does a great job making this an enjoyable work environment. Will always recommend this place to my work clients. :)

Not been here in years since it was the Southbank! Really good food and a great place to watch some sport ! The staff were so friendly and even gave us table service as it was so quiet! Definitely a great place to pop I to for a lunch time snack

Food and service here was amazing definitely advise a visit

they went above and beyond today, great customer service!

Great 1st experience here will be back

nice bar with great atmosphere, good drink selection and decor, lovely staff, Georgie was very attentive and gave great service

New look is Vast improvement to old bar. Not eaten here yet. It's now a regular haunt.

Amazing place, with massive improvements since my last visit last year! would highly recommend this place now, will definitely be recommending and visiting this place again.

Was recommended this place by a friend and it did not disappoint. Food was tasty, wide selection of drinks and exceptional service, especially from the manager on duty Sean. Will definitely be returning.

I had my baby shower at Waterside Bar and Kitchen on Saturday (21/09/24), and everything was absolutely perfect. The venue was stunning, the food was delicious, and the staff were incredible. A special shoutout to Shaun, who assisted us on the day—he went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Such a stellar member of the team! Highly recommend this place for any special occasion!

Great drink prices and beer. Food delicious. Great place to go throughout the week and weekends!

amazing service as a student in westbridgeford, everyone is so friendly and so nice

Great food, great service! Definitely come back! Perfect end to our birthday treat day! Thank you for the lovely hospitality!

The meal was excellent, quickly served by friendly staff. A very pleasant lunch ending the celebration of my granddaughters birthday. Thank you

Very polite staff and very nice food,

One of the staff members was very rude to us on Saturday. We’d been sat for a few hours ordering drinks and watching the football and people starting standing in front of us and blocking the screens when we were clearly watching the TV outside. We very politely asked a staff member if there’s anywhere else people could stand or ask them to move nicely as we could no longer see the Arsenal game on the screen. The staff member (male with blondish hair and we think glasses) was extremely rude and even found it funny that we asked this. Of course we want to sit at our table and watch the screens hence why we’d arrived early!!! Horrendous egotistical rude staff member.

Lovely staff, good sports watching, nice food mostly, good drinks selection, lovely outside area and pool table available

Great bar and restaurant, food and drinks were brill, and very reasonably priced for its location close to the football and cricket ground. Good atmosphere and friendly bar staff, Sean was very helpful and had good knowledge of the beers, he recommended us to try Brixton IPA which was a very good pint. Will definitely be returning.

Great food and the server Sean did a wonderful job!

The Bar manager was fantastic. Freshly laid pool table was smooth.

Much improved over the last year or so, great value for money and good range of beer

Went with a few friends, I don’t usually leave reviews but this place had a Great atmosphere, the service was impeccable and the food I did have was very nice. 👌🏽

Friendly staff on entry. Offered a choice of gins when ordering by the bartender Sean. Seating area outside is lovely overlooking the river trent we needed a parasol at our table there was a member of staff clearing tables (Mitchell) he obliged and then asked if we wanted to order any food and recommended the pizzas. All in all a lovely afternoon.

Absolutely loved my visit here last weekend, it's got lots of deals for students and is just a great atmosphere to spend an evening. We'll be back!

Great bar, great service, great atmosphere!

Waterside makes for a lovely spot by the river Trent at all times of the day . The atmosphere and staff is very nice , and the food/drink is good quality too. There is a pool and darts setup which is maintained well . Altogether it adds up to a great time out.

Great experience, lovely atmosphere and perfect food. Steve and the team were amazing!

I found food very good and staff very helpful and good value for money. Very good clean and very easy to find.!Miss Jean Ross

Steve and the team were fantastic. Had a great meal and the friendly service topped it all off! Will definitely come again.

Stopped in on the way to the cricket a few weeks ago, great atmosphere and great beer

Great service, great food, sean and steve are the next best thing since ant n dec

Great place for pre match drink and watch the early ko game. COYR.

Lucy made my experience a 10/10 very good service and the pints are a fair price aswell would come back have a nice relaxing view of the Trent ! Phoebe was a bit quite seems nice enough !

Great vibe by the waterfront, I’d recommend Gamma ray, the food we had was 10/10! Definitely the place to come for a few drinks!

Excellent pub. Great atmosphere. Great fun!

I only really go on match days (Forest supporters only, no away fans permitted)and have done for many years now as conveniently located on Trent Bridge. Can get busy, but service is quick, staff are always great and the food is good.

I went in today before and after the forest match and I was impressed with how clean the place was and how friendly the staff were. The food was lovely and the staff were nothing but energetic and engaging. I definitely recommend if you’re about 😊

We hosted my Mum's surprise 60th birthday in the conservatory venue space at the Waterside. Phoebe, Steve, Shaun and the team pulled out all the stops to help us before and throughout the night for my Mum. The space was brilliant for our party of 40 to 50, well lit, a great feature wall that enhanced our decorations and the terrace overlooking the Trent was perfect too. We ordered food for our party for a group this big, it all came out on time, hot and was so good it was gone in 5 five seconds!!! I wanted to say a huge thanks to the team who made the night so special and my Mum had the best time. As I said, nothing we asked was too much and everything went so smoothly - which was completely down to the staff. If you're looking to host a party or gathering, I would recommend you do so at the Waterside a hundred times over!!!

Great place to drink, all the staff are lovely but must give a shout out to Steve. He’s a great manager with a bubbly personality, an asset to the team!

Lovely pub right next to the river, service was exceptional across all the staff. I do need to give Steve extra credit because he was always checking in to make sure everything was okay. Made the experience just that bit better.

Great place for spot of food. Lovely view of the river Trent. Steve and the staff are very welcoming and I’d recommend here to anyone

Been here many times for sports or just a drink! Never had a bad time, would definitely recommend!

Absolutely top quality service with very very friendly staff. An amazing selection of beers, wines and Gins would defo recommend it to anyone who lives in notts or is visiting will be back for more

Amazing atmosphere and service! Had my daughters 18th birthday party in the conservatory and everyone had the best time. All the staff were so helpful and asked if we needed any support when setting up and checked in on us throughout to see if we needed anything. We ordered a variety of pizzas and sides which were very delicious and everyone enjoyed, aswell as the wide range or drink selection. Couldn’t recommend enough, service is amazing! We will defo be back!

I’ve been coming in for over 6 years as a Forest season card holder and never had a bad experience yet. It’s to the point where we’ll even pop down for a bite to eat when at a loose end. The staff are always friendly and accommodating if ever there’s an issue so can really fault the place.

We had a fantastic party for my sister’s birthday. From the moment we entered the pub and had a drink whilst we waited to the end of the evening the staff were extremely attentive. We had some amazing food - nachos and party food and it was great quality. The mini pies were especially enjoyed by husband. A HUGE thank you to Steve and all his team. An amazing afternoon and evening! 😊😊😊

Thanks to the staff at Waterside. Absolutely fantastic two days and the fact that you made us welcome was even more special. Nothing was too much trouble. Xx

Thank you so much for your wonderful service, it’s one of the busiest days of the year with the cricket and myself my friend and our dogs came in for a drink after a very warm dog walk. All of the staff were amazing came and gave our dogs lots of water and treats and very attentive with them. It’s not often you go to a bar and you feel like all of the staff were amazing thank you

Nice place, staff lovely. Only downside: we had a pepperoni pizza cut in 8 slices with 6 slices of pepperoni (a bit poor)

Attended last 4 euro games with friends and family - Steve and Sean and the brilliant bar team were fantastic and made the experience very enjoyable. We have been coming into the pub for last 4 years or so but this has cemented it as a firm favourite.

Great atmosphere to watch the England final. Staff were friendly and efficient on keeping the venue tidy and keeping the visitors happy. A must visit in Nottingham

Gotta be the best bar in Nottingham/Bridgford when the sun's out! Hard to find a single fault the place if you're after relaxed drinks or a bite to eat. Obviously with its proximity to the City Ground, it does get busy when Forest are at home though.

We booked the conservatory for a birthday celebration. we booked only 1 week in advance but that didn’t impact the effort the staff went to . When booking the team emailed all the menus over and asked if there was anything we needed. When arriving the staff couldn’t have been anymore attentive. They offered help putting the room how we wanted , putting music on and opening the bifold onto the beautiful beer garden . They checked in throughout our time there to see if there was anything we needed and constantly collected empty glasses and plates . We ordered pizzas for the party and they were delicious ! Everyone really enjoyed them . We also had little ones with us and they provided high chairs for us. They have such a wide range of drinks with so much good choice . Honestly the perfect venue for a celebration. There isn’t anywhere else I’ve received service like I have here . This isn’t the first time we’ve had a celebration here and won’t be the last !! Thank you so much ☺️

Sean and his team were amazing, great staff, great atmosphere, great time!

Attended a party at the Waterside. Function was well designed and the staff were very polite. Food was very delicious. Worth a visit in the city of Nottingham

We went to the Waterside last Saturday and can honestly say the food and service was exceptional. The place was clean and the staff very welcoming. We would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for good food with a brilliant atmosphere.

A party of 6 of us tried to get in here after the Take Take that gig at the Forest Ground and because one of our party had pretended to be pregnant 4 hours earlier so that she could use the toilet, the door staff told her she has lied to them and turned us all away. What a pair of tw........ When I asked the younger, smug looking one if he was really going to turn 6 of us away because of something someone had said 4 hours earlier he replied, 'Yeah mate, you picked the wrong company tonight, Tweet about it.' At least the other doorman had the decency to look embarrassed by the others behaviour. I thought that sort of nonsense went out in the 70's. Very poor.

Staff and management very helpful ,friendly and provided good service.

Visited with some friends for some drinks and a quick bite to eat - I had cheesy chips (classic). Great selection of drinks, food was tasty - I will be returning to try something more substantial. But the thing that made me want to comment was the service, really nice and friendly - very welcoming. Wanted to stay longer but had to shoot off for other plans

Great vibe, Sean and Kayleigh were welcoming and quick at service. Highly recommend

Had an amazing time over the weekend. Staff were lovely and the atmosphere was great. 10 out of 10, would recommend.

Didn't give 5 stars due to toilets being closed. Only one working out of 4. Place should have sorted it knowing how busy the place was going to be on a concert day.

Was early for our booking taken straight to our table staff very polite friendly food amazing Excerllant service

Had lunch here yesterday as it was near the football ground where I was going to see TAKE THAT !!! Very good food, service and good staff, they were Very busy but our food was delivered with a smile !! Well done Waterside Bar you kept everything flowing even under pressure !! THANKYOU 🦊👍👋

Bite to eat & a pint before the rugby… Minimalistic decor. Good array of Heineken beers and lagers on the bar. Service was attentive and prompt… Top marks to Mr Essex…

I was doing a disco their, the staff were very helpful to me and the party group, food was supplied by waterside, very good freshly cooked

Lovely friendly staff and service was good.

The most amazing space to using in Nottingham. Amazing service from Phoebe and the team! They were able to make our Baby Shower an unforgettable day for us and our invitees… would definitely book again for any future events. Appreciate all your great communication, vibes coming up to the big day and on the day. Thank you for everything!

Had an amazing time at waterside this bank holiday weekend, eating Al fresco on the veranda looking out over the lake whilst enjoying the sun. Beautiful spot and great food

Great for the birthday party, I could easily book a room and move around the tables etc with the help of staff as well as plug in our own phones for music

Tag line - Beer Garden Gotta start by saying this will be home for summer time have always liked the look of the beer garden but the prices have put me off. My boyfriend took me today for lunch trying to make use of the sun being out it was quiet (but was during work hours) We was well looked after staff were friendly and happy, never caught there names (2 short guys no disrespect sorry), I can see this place being crazy in summer but will definitely return with the girls

Difficult to find a bar that has a free dartboard these days so me and my mates were pleasantly surprised when we came in, especially as there’s a pool table too. This along side the student discount we were offered makes this a more viable option opposed to the other local pubs as I’d rather watch the footy and play some pool. We were served quick, by friendly chatty staff and you could tell they were having a good time too, which added to the atmosphere. Great spot!

I went to waterside bar and kitchen before the Nottingham Forest game. Literally a stones throw away from the city ground. Great food, brilliant speedy service and a great pre match friendly atmosphere.

Great food, great service, great place!

Fantastic food, fatantic seevice from Steve definitely recommend !!

Was a quick stop off before driving to work, lovely place warm welcoming by the 2 young guys on. I like a tomato juice and was excited to see they had my favourite brand (Toms) just a shame I couldn't add vodka. The pork belly dish was amazing well presented and tasty. I spoke to Sean before I left, great customer service all round. Highly recommend to visit.

A great pub that I visit regularly! Steve and the team are very friendly and the service is always exceptional. Great place for watching live sports with friends, would definitely recommend.
