Discover more about The Lacehouse
Where brickwork meets banter
The Lacehouse sits within Nottingham’s Lace Market neighbourhood and wears its industrial past lightly: exposed brick, wooden tabletops and a long, polished bar create a warm, lived-in backdrop for evenings of cocktails and casual dining. The interior feels layered rather than slick, with mismatched seating — chesterfields, benches and high stools — arranged to encourage conversation and small gatherings.A menu that moves from brunch to late-night
The venue operates across different rhythms: daytime trade leans into brunch classics and pizzas, while the late-evening menu shifts emphasis to cocktails and bar snacks. Drinks are presented with a focus on show and variety; cocktails and craft beers share space with bottled wines and simpler pours. Food aims to be unfussy and social, designed for sharing around the same table as your drinks.Entertainment and sociable quirks
The Lacehouse blends live music slots and DJ nights with more informal entertainments. A ping-pong table tucked into the room gives the place a playful edge and draws groups who want activity with their drinks. Programming can vary — quiet afternoons, buzzy weekend nights and special events each reframe the venue’s energy — but the general intent is to be lively, interactive and welcoming to groups.Character and crowd
The bar’s character is deliberately eclectic: rustic finishes meet contemporary barcraft, creating a relaxed but animated social space. Furnishings and finishes convey an approachable, slightly bohemian sensibility rather than a high-end cocktail club aesthetic. Because of its mix of dining and nightlife functions it attracts a broad cross-section of visitors looking for brunch, informal dinner or a night out.Practical notes on the setting
The Lacehouse occupies a city-centre footprint with several internal zones rather than a single-room bar; acoustics and noise vary by area. Lighting is warm and often dimmer in later hours, which heightens the intimate, convivial feel but can make reading menus harder in certain corners. Facilities and layout are arranged to accommodate groups and social bookings as well as walk-in visitors.Local flavour and atmosphere
The venue reflects the Lace Market’s blend of heritage and contemporary leisure: a repurposed urban interior that foregrounds social dining, theatrical cocktails and an approachable nightlife programme. It’s a place for relaxed gatherings, casual celebrations and evenings where conversation is as central as the drink in your hand.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
