Quirky Basement Hideaway
Nestled in the basement of the striking Hydrogen Building at 31 Wollaton Street, Bunk offers a distinctive escape from Nottingham's bustling streets. The venue's subterranean setting creates an intimate, dimly lit space where exposed brick walls and industrial accents foster a cozy yet edgy ambiance. Patrons descend a short flight of stairs to enter a world of inventive mixology and bold flavors, making it a favored spot for those seeking something beyond the ordinary pub experience.Cocktail Mastery and Wings Focus
Bunk shines as a cocktail bar, crafting drinks with precision and flair using fresh ingredients and house-made infusions. Signature concoctions blend classic techniques with unexpected twists, appealing to both novices and connoisseurs. Complementing the bar program, the menu spotlights chicken wings in various styles—from spicy glazes to tangy marinades—served alongside shareable small plates. This dual emphasis on drinks and casual eats positions Bunk as a versatile venue for after-work unwinding or pre-night-out fueling.Central Nottingham Pulse
Positioned in Nottingham's lively NG1 district, Bunk benefits from its proximity to key landmarks like Old Market Square and Nottingham Trent University. Wollaton Street places it amid a mix of shops, theaters, and eateries, immersing guests in the city's dynamic energy. The basement location provides a contrast to the overhead urban hum, offering a tucked-away retreat while remaining steps from trams, buses, and nightlife hubs.Evening Rhythm and Crowd
Operations kick off at 5pm daily, extending to midnight on most nights and 1am on weekends, aligning with Nottingham's nocturnal rhythm. Saturdays start earlier at 3pm, accommodating daytime crowds transitioning into evening revelry. The space accommodates groups comfortably with communal seating and high-top tables, where conversations flow as freely as the cocktails. Live music or DJ sets occasionally enhance the vibe, keeping the energy infectious without overwhelming intimacy.Design Details and Sensory Appeal
Industrial design elements like raw concrete floors, neon accents, and metallic bar fittings define the aesthetic, evoking a modern speakeasy feel. The air carries scents of charred wings and citrus garnishes, mingling with the subtle hum of mixers and clinking glassware. Soft lighting casts a warm glow, highlighting bottle-lined shelves and creating photogenic nooks that capture the venue's playful spirit.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
