New bar The Botanist will open its doors to the public on Monday 9th October in West Bridgford.

The stunning concept will transform the old Fire and Ice building on Bridgford Road, the most prominent among the main stretch of bars and restaurants leading into the heart of West Bridgford.

Offering daytime coffee, food and a place to grab an after work cocktail, I anticipate this to be one of the busiest bars in West Bridgford. Food includes prawn and chicken gumbo. sitting alongside delicious deli boards and The Botanist’s famous hanging kebabs.

The innovative pub brand draws inspiration from all things botanical, with a cocktail menu boasting over 45 creations, many with a plant-based twist. Sitting alongside its impressive offer of world famous beers and ales, the extensive cocktail offer sees fresh fruit, herbs and spirits expertly mixed and muddled to deliver an array of unique infusions.

“We pride ourselves on offering a cocktail to spark the interest of each and every customer,” General Manager; David Derney said. “Our menu includes long and short cocktails, flutes, martinis and a range of interesting non-alcoholic options.”

Having visited the York venue back at Easter with my housemate, I am super excited to see this opening in Nottingham. The cocktails are gorgeous, with botanical twists on many classic favourites.

My favourites were the rum, cherry and thyme watering can and the passionfruit and basil crush (Pictured above)

Exciting times for the Nottingham bar scene!
