Reviews of The Southbank Bar - Nottingham City
Watched the 2022 play off final here. It was definitely the next best place to be if you couldn't get to Wembley.
The food was fantastic, the place needs a refurbishment as it's looking a bit dated and worn, the booths have small tv's in the wall, so you can watch whatever they have playing, a nice little touch.
A night with Leigh Woods - It was a fantastic night, the bar staff were great and the venue was plentiful. Thank you to the owners for hosting.
Great for watching sport, however they must have a tie up with Sky, as both F.A. Cup games were on a few TVs and just analysis from Sky on big screen. After seating us in front of the big screen. Bar staff also need to top up pints, far too many pints with frothy head, and below pint measure. Soon adds up at £5 per pint
Great food and atmosphere. Drinks a little pricey and not disabled friendly. Comfy booths
Drink are one of the better ones in nottz, overall design looks nice with plenty of space.
Only downside is it's £2 pool table per game 😅
Great bar, amazing cocktails, live music
Excellent night,Bon Giovi Band ,dined in the 98 club beforehand and the food was superb,I love this venue ,every time I visit it manages to create good feelings and great memories,thank you Southbank 👍
Friendly service. Offered a replacement for food not available. Quantities were large and very satisfying. Throughly recommended.😊😊
What a brilliant St Patrick's Day at this bar, the management have got it right, no queueing to get served, very polite bar staff and plenty of them to cope with the volume of customers thank you for a great day ,,,,
Bar staff excellent, drinks abit pricey but that's ok. Door staff really let this place down though
Perfect bar for students who are looking for an affordable meal with great drinks. Came in on a Saturday and was able to get a table almost straight away despite it being busy.
Atmosphere was lively and bar staff were ever so friendly and helpful at providing a high quality and fast service.
Was able to get 40% off with my student card and 2-4-1 on cocktails too, which was a bonus.
Good just off city centre bar. Nice open tables and seating.Food menu pretty good. Projection screen for sports events. Slightly over zealous service.
Yes I would recommend going here music good dance floor great on a night out
Plus points- The band (The Money) were amazing and the staff are really friendly.
Down side - the general music level was far too loud, we were sat right under a speaker, and the food was poor - my burger was almost cremated and the chips were cold, and hardly and gluten free choices.
I don't think I'd go again.
Went to see Billy Joel Tribute show. The staff were very friendly, attentive and constantly checking you were getting service in drinks and meal. The atmosphere felt safe and exciting with everyone having a great time. Highly recommend.
Visited Southbank on a few occasions. The happy hour deals are decent but their standard prices are pretty expensive especially Magners. There are a couple of members of staff who have attitude problems and make you feel unwelcome. Good for watching sports though.
little pricey on drinks but good student prices on food. also one of the better sports bars in notts
We went to see the Abba tribute band and had turkey dinner. Perhaps too many drinks. But a good time was had by all.
Lovely pub good music. Great atmosphere. Not expensive.
St Patrick's Day, very busy but good service, excellent music and a great atmosphere
Great sport's bar, nice food and drink and a cracking atmosphere 👌
Great night socializing good beer and quick bar staff
Great for sport. if u have a free Guinness it's not a bad option
Enjoy the bar and the staff are polite and friendly. I like to sit in their small garden but I find that the loud talkers are back on it. I wouldn't mind so much but they've only got themselves to talk about and i find them boring. That sitting area needs extending and partitioning. Self indulgent loud mouths one side, and casual talkers the other. No one excluded, just categorised for their own awareness 😂 only messing. Kind of. Love the place.
Decent sports bar in an area with quite a few of the same style venues. Good beer selection with a nice layout and vibe.
Great music great atmosphere just prices are a little high
Absolutely fantastic price and great food! TV screens in the booths are great idea too!
Been here 3 times now and 10/10 every time!
This is quite simply a fantastic Pub with loads of Staff very clean and a brilliant atmosphere
Very nice fish n chips, the portion fills you good, the sauce is great.
And 40% off for students, so I only paid 6£
Good pub good service will visit again
Had a great evening in here with live music .....
When I went in it was full of Irish people, but then again it was St Paddy's Day.
Always a warm welcome, attentive staff, plenty of sporting action to choose to watch, food is very good sports bar style food, drinks are reasonably priced, especially during happy hour (3 hours!!) 🤣
Great sports bar bar staff brilliant
10/10.
Polite staff, good atmosphere although it was quiet. The food was amazing. Will definitely be back when I'm next in Nottingham. 😁
Excelent service, the staff was si kind. And this place has a good enviroment for drinking something with your friends and share food. 😎
Just the place for sports, food and the staff are a class act.
Great 50% student discount on all food
Nice friendly staff good beer and food
Just a decent pub, service from staff was excellent so was the food/beer
Staff very friendly and avery helpful made you feel welcome a absolute pleasure,
There was six of us got a table straight away,service was quick and efficient I can't rate highly enough
Love this pub. The artists that they have on are brilliant too! When we went they had 3 men and a box playing, 2 guys with guitars and one sat on a drum box, they were fantastic! Good service at the bar and it's a nice pub. It's a bit dark but it all adds to the atmosphere, which is always full of positive vibes and smiles! Found on Friar Lane in a beautiful building, so it's a very popular watering hole!
We came here from all over to celebrate a birthday and watch the World Cup final. The service was excellent! Food was decent, but we had a booth reserved and the waitress we had was super friendly (and genuine) and attentive so we were very glad we chose to go here. Great atmosphere for the footy too and big screen, along with the booth screens and big screen tvs dotted all around.
It was ok big brekky was not good mushrooms tomatoes and 3 hash browns very disappointed
Really nice place with excellent drinks and lots of staff serving
We always enjoy it in here. Lovely, friendly, some staff don't care about complaints or procedure but they are few and between. Food is good, atmosphere is good, the bands on bank holidays are well worth a look, big screen for the football and reasonably priced drinks. Well worth a look
Came up for Notts County v Aldershot.
Great place to come. Full of TVs for sport. £2.45 for a pint of pale ale! £2.45! How good is that price!!! Nachos and burger were amazing and lots of it! Wish I lived up here for places like this. If you’re in Nottingham and like sport/beer/pub food, come here! 100% recommend!
Nice pub very quite when we were there was told it would get busy later
Really smart place. Visited on a Friday night and Saturday morning, impressed both times. Friday night was real busy but still got served quickly, Saturday was quiet and of course served rapid.
Breakfast menu is mega, my American breakfast 🍳 was great, pancakes and bacon and sausage. We had a couple of the breakfast baps too and they are awesome value for money, really packed with bacon, nice bacon too.
Layout is cool, a few booths with 6-10 seats, private TV screens on them, screens around the bar anyway but good for your group.
Loads of seating in the main area and pool and a massive projector screen.
Really smart industrial 🏭 decor checkmate in the toilets the whole place is bang tidy.
The Southbank is a must go if you like sports, to here
Great for students. 50% off food and massive screen for football.
Always a good atmosphere
Great venue, and beers 👍
Came to watch Chelsea vs Bayren Munich, I'm a Chelsea fan and it's not going well but we come here a lot. The staff were playing with cocktails and gave me and the girlfriend a free cocktail each..... Amazing! After checking about her nut allergy they weren't sure (2 cocktails for me!) But they felt bad so they brought her a nut free one! Unreal service!
Good fun here, live music is always good. Table service drinks are handled well and lots of bar staff walking the floor
This is a great sports bar there's a large selection of different types of beers. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There's television's for you to watch the
Latest football match or other sports events that you may want to view.
Great place to watch sport, especially football. Good choice of lagers. However, not that cheap!
It was ok, went to watch a couple of World Cup matches. Nice big screen and enough smaller screens that a good view wasn't hard to find. Not sure I'd go there for any other reason though, too characterless and geared for large numbers, nothing like the cozy pubs I like
Great atmosphere good beer and a place to can have a boogie if you are inclined.....
Unfortunately it was very quiet, thanks to Boris & the tories
Located just on maid marion way just off the market square. Large dance floor and stage for band and arttistes. Leads of draught beers . Selection of gins and cocktails served. Good ladies toilets plenty of seating around the dance floor and booths and tables. DJ was really good playing dance stuff for all ages. Wasn't too loud . Brilliant night. Two minutes walk to the square for buses trams and taxis home.
Regularly visit here for ppv boxing events. Great service and pretty good food and drink. Only reason it's not a 5 star is because the DJ plays music so incredibly loud, most of the guests sit with their fingers in their ears.
Was happily surprised as it used to be not my kind of pub but all changed and is lovely inside..plenty of choice on menu + lunch specials. Lovely staff. Will go in again soon 😀
Love this place, even though it's in the centre of town it has the feel of a 'local pub' & is an amazing sports bar!!!
Always the centre of a celebration - be it any Patron Saint Day (they do them all!), a world cup (any sport) or Christmas sing a long this is the place to be in Nottingham!
*
Great food and drink reasonably priced not sure about the entertainment was loud and soundchecked with yea, yea, one, two over and over again got a bit annoying so left straight after our meal. I would go back for food not the entertainment lol
Doing what a sports bar does best, putting on all the sport you need and serving a decent variety of beers. Could have done without the drummer tuning up for an hour for his set later.
The best place to eat as a student. Great prices, quality and quantity for an unbelievable price! They have entertainment as well, PS4, Darts, Pool, so much fun :)
Great sport-watching experience in this pub. Lots of tv with multiple choice of sport events, plus pool and ps for customers! They have nice beer, both commercial and craft, and a variety of food/snack/desserts. Really worth going also for the position, very central to Nottingham and near Old Market Square!
They got great drinks, food, darts, pool and a PlayStation. You should visit sometime.
Good sports bar. They put on extra mini bars when it gets busy which is a great idea. Food is good. You can book a table under the big screen for sporting events
Went here to watch the superbowl and hired a booth, good table service and food. Drinks were a bit lacking if you don't like Carling but the atmosphere more than made up for it.
Great service, drinks and food. The best bar I've been to since the dawn of the 'new normal'.
Excellent service, no matter how busy it was at the bar. Good food with deals to upset most of the city centre! Our server cam was very attentive with the additional bar service from Tyler! Thanks guys!
I always start in this pub when drinking in nottingham..it has good food ale and staff
Great beer variety and good food. My only complaint is that the speakers are above the tables and sometimes it is too loud for my taste.
Food was OK. Generally food is like wetherpoons but more expensive. Breakfast was like £8 without a drink and basic in my opinion. Other places have better value.
Very good
Stunning venue and very understanding staff fantastic live music enjoy and please stay safe
Great place for football fans and also family's but not on match days warm friendly staff for brilliant slot of choice the day I was German v Mexico 🇲🇽 as the Mexico did blocked book tables in front big screen the German 🇩🇪 were not very happy a brilliant day and both set fans think had great day and Mexico shared there food with everybody I try some myself and yes very nice but not on the menu
It's not for me it's very DER
Doesn't service strongbow darkfruits but does carling darkfruits. Not the cheapest however many tvs with sports on. Ok bar. Usually more lively over the weekend
A good night out and live bands, however the AC leaves a lot to be desired meaning on a particular warm night its not pleasent.
Food is cheap for students and as would expect... pretty goooood. Only major fall is the pool table is completly wrecked and really should be repaid or placed out of order
Staff are fantastic, especially some lad called Harry, lots of screens, great beer selection and good crowd.
Loved it and shall return!
We watched the boxing match then a live band .The pub was busy and lively, great atmosphere, average priced beer staff extremely busy but friendly helpful and competent
Love this place, great choice of drinks, really down to earth. Staff are brilliant, polite and friendly.
It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night, to say they had live music and they are just off the market square. Well everyone else missed out, we had a great night.
Ok inside. Over priced drinks tho. Bandy and a malibu (singles) 11 pound something. Nice staff tho
Nothing wrong but not really my thing. It's a sports bar which is fine if that's why you're going in there. Nice pint though.
Love this place , but don't know why ?? Great live band , great atmosphere. My man dancing, what a sight I must have looked like but I don't care . Lee Hogg, your a legend.
I lime going in here to end the night but the toilets need sorting you can smell them half way across the room. Howerever music and bands are good
Fantastic live music. One of my favourite bars in Nottingham
Fun place to be, too many activities to mention them all, but, whatever the time of day always something to interest you! Great food great service great prices
Best burgers, hands down. The Bourbon BBQ Burger, that is. Spectacular discounts, as well. Huges screens and monitors all over the place. A real sports bar.
Great for watching sports good selection of drinks and food. Staff are really good with table service while youre watching the match
Unbelievable service, incredible facilities and a great atmosphere for sports. Massively recommend southbank for anyone looking for a place to watch any game
Staff are fantastic, especially some lad called Harry, lots of screens, great beer selection and good crowd.

Great bar and one of the best places for watching live sport in Nottingham. However, prices of drinks are above average.
Great beers. Live band. Open late.
Busy but great atmosphere. Had a brill night.
Nothing special. Kind of a sports bar. Standard prices. Tends to be a gig on. Clientele - mixed age range. Not stuffy but not chavvy either.
Lively venue especially with the rugby on today, great service and selection. I have eaten here before and the food is great.

Friendly staff, great selection of drinks, quality food, live music and multiple screen live sports, you can even do gaming! What's not to like?
