Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Wirksworth

"Standard Hill, Park Row, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 6GN. From the team behind the magnificent Hambleton Hall in Rutland, it’s no surprise that Hart’s is a formidable restaurant. Expect contemporary British fare in a smart dining room punctuated by cosy booths and soft lighting."

"This boutique hotel is a 3-minute walk from the city centre. It has an award-winning restaurant, a private car park and stunning views. Hart’s Hotel is located in a quiet cul-de-sac away from the noise of traffic and nightlife."

"The fine-dining restaurant will be taking it outside to the courtyard on April 12. Fans of the up-market haunt can reserve a table for snacks, afternoon tea or the à la carte menu. And staff are prepared for the elements."

"So this *technically* isn’t a bottomless brunch, however, we think it’s definitely still worth a place on the list - it’s The Hockley Arts Club’s bottomless afternoon tea. If you want to add some elegance to your indulgence then this is the occasion for you. Taking place every Saturday at The Hockley Arts Club, diners can enjoy a decadent afternoon tea, complete with finger sandwiches, cakes and other sweet treats, accompanied with the restaurant’s signature iced-tea pot cocktails."

"A post shared by The Hockley Arts Club (@thehockleyartsclub) on Jul 5, 2018 at 7:35am PDT. You won’t find many places more Insta-worthy in Nottingham than Hockley Arts Club. With neon signs, gorgeous cocktails and a third-floor “electric garden”, then you’re really spoiled for choice when it comes to photography."

"Spread across three floors, this fun speakeasy bar boasts a vintage look and a run of innovative cocktails. The food is worth your time too though, thanks to thoughtfully chosen charcuterie and bottomless afternoon tea."

"Thanks to Andy Murray (no, not that one) for sharing his kickass photo of The Vermonter and The Malibu Surf and Turf!. At Annie's we have your Tuesday night SORTED. Come see us for dinner, then take your seats for #AnniesQuiz from 7.30pm in The Ocean State Tavern… Specialist subject is Orange Is the New Black (but if you are no expert on that, there are general knowledge rounds too)."

"This burger joint has such an iconic status in the city that a film was recently made about it. The toppings can be pretty out there, for example, The Vermonter (pancakes and maple syrup), The Elvis (peanut butter and jam) and The Sunday Dinner (no explanation needed). Everyone in Nottingham knows Annie’s."

"The Nottingham Contemporary, situated in Nottingham’s old Lace Market district, is one of the largest contemporary art centres in the UK. The centre is home to an eclectic array of art exhibitions, film screenings and talks from prestigious figures across its 3,000 square metre floor area. There is also an elegant artist-designed café to rest tired feet."

"In 2009, the city opened one of Britain’s largest contemporary art centres. This is set in the Lave Market area, and there’s a small homage to Nottingham’s lace-making heritage in the traditional lace pattern on the facade. The gallery is free to enter and puts on up to five contemporary art exhibitions each year."

"experience is one of the most fun-filled bottomless brunches in Nottingham. They call it the ultimate bottomless brunch, and it’s pretty easy to see why. There’s live entertainment, which includes a drag queen bingo special, all to a backdrop of “the best and worst music from the last 30 years”, according to their website."

"Whether you're looking for pizza, ping pong, cocktails or cool interiors, this quirky Nottingham bar has it all. Head over to Das Kino for nights out you'll never forget, complete with drinks, dancing and live DJs until late."

"Somewhat hidden on Bridlesmith Walk, this superlative craft-beer outlet also serves unusually good bar food. A brunch of huevos rancheros and pancakes is a good start before an assault on its IPAs, as, later, might be shared charcuterie and cheese boards or small plates such as short rib in Baltic porter gravy or mac’n’cheese balls with arrabiata sauce. The best value is in its larger plates and, particularly, in taking them away, as you get 25% off."

"Part craft bottle shop, part American diner, if you have a beard and/or tattoos Junkyard is your nirvana. This place boasts fifteen taps and an inventively dirty food menu – don’t miss the fish burger: pan-fried fish with caper and parsley mayo slipped inside a toasted milk roll. Mac and cheese balls are also ace."

"An uber-cool neighbourhood hangout, this minimalist bar boasts over 15 American, British and European beers on tap. Fill up on hot wings and sloppy joes, washed down with a glass of your favourite brew while sunning yourself in their slick garden area."

"Café, bakery and restaurant by day, cocktail bar by night, Coco Tang (on Bridlesmith Gate, near the Lace Market) is the place to go for home-roasted Vietnamese coffees made with condensed milk, bowls of pickled salads, rice noodles and soft-shell crab, and fragrant pork patties with fish sauce dip. There are cakes, too – choose a slice of Japanese roll decorated with hand-painted strawberries, or a crispy Hong Kong egg bubble waffle. It’s a colourful, vibrantly Vietnamese space."

"A Vietnamese kitchen-cum-cocktail bar, Coco Tang is the perfect venue for a quirky date night in Nottingham. Step inside and find yourself transported to an exotic land, with indoor palm trees, an airy roof terrace and authentic tiles imported from Ho Chi Minh City."

"Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, this Nottingham rooftop bar has you covered whatever the weather. A favourite among students in the city, Coco Tang has a buzzing atmosphere thanks to its quirky Asian interiors and impressive yet affordable cocktail list."

"Rollercoaster Restaurant is set below a vast rollercoaster track, where you can watch as orders tackle two gravity defying loop-the-loops before dropping 8 metres"

"An exciting play centre where children can let off steam at the best indoor play centre in Derbyshire View Site"

"Described as a magnificent 17th-century ducal mansion, Nottingham Castle sits atop cliffs 40m (130ft) high, offering fabulous views of the city. Originally built in 1067 by William the Conqueror and then rebuilt by a series of other kings, Nottingham Castle is embedded in history. Offering a medieval-to-modern British and European art collection, this ancient building has a lot of culture for visitors who wish to take a step back from the energetic city life."

"Once spoken of in the same terms as the Tower of London and Windsor Castle, Nottingham Castle looks over the city from its high sandstone crag known as Castle Rock. As with many strongholds in England the castle was torn down in the wake of the English Civil War to prevent it being re-used. Afterwards Henry Cavendish, the 2nd Duke of Newcastle, built the Baroque Ducal Mansion on the remains and in 1878 the Nottingham Castle Museum opened in this building."

"One of the best photography spots in Nottingham is the Wollaton Park. There are deer walking around there (in a special section) and if you bring a good zoom lens, you can take some incredible shots, especially in Autumn. As we visited Nottingham in May, it was also very nice, green and pretty and I took a lot of photos in Wollaton Park."

"Wollaton Hall is an Elizabethan Manor with huge gardens and is a short bus ride from the city centre. Inside the house is a stuffed animal exhibit (quite creepy but fascinating) and the gardens and lake are a perfect location for a long romantic walk or even a picnic."

"There’s actually two Edins in Nottingham – “Edin’s Deli Café” on Broad Street, and “Edin’s Kitchen”, around the corner on Carlton Street – the main difference being that the “Kitchen” opens earlier, closes earlier, and serves breakfast, while the “Deli Café” opens a little later, stays open a lot later, and doesn’t serve breakfast. They both offer great value lunch deals with two courses on offer for either £6.95(fussy diners beware – the choices are very limited). However it has to be the “Deli Café” that takes the lunch menu trophy, thanks to their £5 “Express Lunch” with a 125ml glass of winedeal."

"At his deli-cafe (15 Broad Street) and latterly Edin’s Kitchen, the Bosnian restaurateur has repeatedly proven it is possible to deliver tasty, homemade food at knock-down prices. This eccentric space – its every available surface covered in junk shop bric-a-brac – serves glossy pastries, salads and sandwiches, as well as a global grab-bag of mains at around £7. For instance, gnocchi in a blue cheese sauce or Lincolnshire sausages with a spicy lentil and coriander stew."
