THE APPROACH
When local businessman and late night bar operator David Willans of the legendry Southbank Bar viewed the premises of the then-known Phoenix Bar, he automatically knew he could weave his web of magic and create his latest venture The Approach.
QUALITY ALL ROUND

A late night venue incorporating fine food, quality drinks, diverse entertainment and quite simply good friendly service with a smile.
All sounds good, so tell me more...
With a ground floor bar furnished in a warm yet stylish decor with comfy lounge furniture throughout, by day you can enjoy a light brekkie, freshly squeezed juices, smoothies and coffee.
LUNCHTIMES
Lunchtime can be from traditional fish and chips to a fine three course meal prepared freshly from our kitchen team managed by head chef Peter Smith.
After a busy day at work, shopping or flitting around the city I'd say you deserve a treat... Why not try some of a glass of wine, a cocktail or an award winning real ale.
EVENINGS
As night time approaches our mood and atmosphere changes, dimmed lights and table service. The attention then focuses onto our central stage as we welcome the cream of Nottingham's most popular entertainers Roy de Wired, The Fab Four, The Joe Strange Band and solo artist Kris Ward plus many more.
The ambience can be enjoyed with just a drink from the bar or over a sumptuous three course meal in our restaurant adjacent to the stage area.

Approaching new heights, come and visit us soon
