The Bierkeller Nottingham
Nottingham · NG1
Amenities
Summary
A German-themed bar venue in Nottingham city centre. Three separate bar areas. From £500/day. The Bierkeller interior — German beer hall aesthetic with Bavarian references — provides a distinctive themed interior not commonly available in UK cities outside London.
About this location
The Bierkeller Nottingham occupies three bar areas in central Nottingham near Friar Lane. The venue’s defining characteristic is a German beer hall format: a specific interior aesthetic with heavy timber, communal table arrangements, Bavarian-themed decoration, live Oompah band provision, and a visual language associated with Central European drinking culture. For productions requiring this specific setting — drama with a European nightlife scene, commercial shoots for beer or food brands, productions where the Bavarian-themed interior provides distinctive visual context — this is one of the few UK venues outside London offering this particular format.
The three-bar configuration gives set designers multiple interior environments within a single booking. Nottingham NG1 city centre location makes it accessible from the East Midlands and gives production access to the Lace Market, the Old Market Square, and Nottingham Castle as additional location environments nearby. The hire rate structure (starting from £500/day) is lower than comparable themed venues in London, making Nottingham a cost-effective option for productions that need this specific interior look.
