One of my extended work colleagues has asked me about clubs in Nottingham, I pretty much never make it past the pubs in Hockley so have no clue. Can anyone give me an idea where a bunch of 30 something blokes wouldn't be out of place? Thought Tantra was ok last time I went but that was 6 months ago, anywhere else decent?

The other problem you'll have is finding places that will let a group of blokes in.

Def this, we really sruggled!

We got lucky in that we spent the day in P&P and tipped the waitresses well. P&P let us back into the VIP bit at the back, but it was good fortune more than good planning

Are many of the pubs like that?

I think it depends, I was once turned away from a Wetherspoons because they were only letting in women and couples... Generally pubs are OK, but bars can be an issue.

Oceana cater for stag dos but I'm not sure if I'd class it as good...

hope you can all fight

They ain't the knobhead type that get into fights  :)

My mate rang Oceana to arrange entry, so it's probably best to do that with your chosen venue - you'll know in advance whether you can get in or not and no need to try and split up or whatever.

Why don't you go somewhere decent instead?

Can't see you having problems getting in to most places. Nottingham's dead at the moment so they'll most likely drag you in rather than kick you out.

Have fun :)

I'm not going to it anyway mate, its kind of an extended work colleague that's asked me. Got any suggestions?

Best bet would be the Approach http://www.theapproachnottingham.com/index.asp. Live music, decent crowd, can't see a problem with a bunch of blokes getting in.

If they ring ahead I think the place is pretty accommodating.

It's just off the market square so there's plenty of other pubs to do before there.

There's a strip club a few doors away as well although it's not very good imo. It's the only one in Nottingham though so I guess it's as good as they're gonna get.

HOOTERS

My Stag night in Nottingham (2002) was Hooters then Jongluers which has been replaced by Glee comedy Club.

Great night.

Good idea, I did that on one, forgotten about that.

probably oceanana due to its size but for fun why not go to a comedy club or go to the dogs at colwick racecourse lol. I did this on my stag night a few years ago with about 25 mates, we all got in and i won about £86 on the night and won 5 out of 6 races on the tote and just missed out, afterwards half the guys went to notts and the others either went home pissed, skint or back to derby lol

My stag do is gonna be in Nottingham now at the end of next month. I am going to start by letting my home game buddies sample a real poker experience at DTD, by having a private two table sit & go.

However, looking for something fun to do between about 4-7pm, obviously more of a drinky type thing, rather than a paintball type thing - any good suggestions for a midday tipple?

If the weather's ok and there's a decent enough number in your crowd then the waterfront isn't too bad.

Pretty tough time of day to find anything overly exciting though tbh.

Hooters any good at that time of day? Can't be or evilpie would have said so

Hooters isn't good any time of day.

Never been, but surely it is just a strip club for cowards?

Not even that mate tbh, just waitresses that wear skimpy shorts and tops, nothing more.

Dont forget the weird mixture of customers, from family's out for their lunch to old men sat in raincoats and then a few spotty geeks!

Plus the beer is awful and the food is the dirtiest shit I have ever seen.

Oh and the women should never be seen in those clothes, normal ratio is 1 fitty and 12 dinner ladies.

One of my most hated places!

We hogged the back of living room for a few hours, paid (tipped hard) for waitress service and got drunk

Doubt NG1 would have a problem with that

But theres also Reflex that is sort of an 80's bar.
Tbh it depends what your looking for? I've spent many nights in Nottingham for many years so i'm happy to help. 

Can someone recommend another curry house apart from Memsaab please? They can't accommodate their group for the night they want.

How big is the group?

Noor Jahan if you want curry house
Cumin if you want curry restaurant

About 20 I think. What's the differenrce between a house and a restaurant? Restaurant nicer I guess?

Either of those should do it

If they go Noor Jahan mention my name, im on commision

LOL ok

OK strip clubs now lol? Does James still have one they could get in free?

Totally useless in Nottingham I'm afraid.

Best bet is a few taxis to Derby to club sixx. Some hotties in there.

There's only one in Nottingham now. It's on Friar Lane opposite walkabout. I've not been for a good while but with good reason. The birds are well ropey!!

LOL thanks, I will pass that on.

I assume its this one? http://www.flirtzclub.co.uk/Humbug1.htm

Flirtz. That's the one!! Aka bar humbug.

Minibus to Derby could be a plan if tits have to be on the menu for the evening.

Can anyone recommend a decent place for hotels? I need about 5 twin rooms.

I am going to try the Park Plaza, which I stayed in once before, but their reservations line is closed until the morning. But if that goes tits up, any suggestions?

Obv I am looking for city centre, quite cheap etc.

Crown Plaza, Ramada, Holiday Inn express & Park Plaza are all really good location wise.

No idea what they're like for quality but I'd guess they're all pretty decent and I'd assume you're not overly bothered about luxuries of any kind.

All 4 of these are within easy walks of everywhere you'll want to go.

If for some strange reason you want to go to Hooters then I think Jury's Inn is closest to that. You're a bit of a trek from everything else then though but nothing overly stressful.

Agree about the approach the atmosphere is decent not usually any young idiots that can't handle a pint and the live music then dj combo works really well

Have fun mate

Matt missed the Mercure, Welbeck, Ibis and the Strathdon

Think Park Plaza is by far the best though.

Yup. Forgot those ones. All pretty close to everything you'll need.

Got the Park Plaza booked in the end.

Next question - curry house?

I quite liked the one near the Hogs Head (if that still exists - both pub and curry house)

Think thats a no and a no im afraid.

Hogs head is now the royal oak but pretty much the same.

Think the curry house has changed to a nail salon. If your facing the bar leave out the right doors and over the street on left?

Ralph took me to a curry house which served Ostrich Tandoori.

Can't for the life of me remember the name of the place.. it was quite near the Gala.

Very good food.

Would think Ralph would take you to Memsaab. Really good food.

Christ, I'd hate myself for not having Ostrich tandoori, booked

Only problem with Memsaab is it closes early. Unless you're doing curry first then beers you'll need somewhere else.

Also they won;t like you if you're all pissed. It's a posh curry restaurant not a curry house. As I said though it's really good food.

Memsaab was superb, thanks for the recommendation.
