Nottingham sporting legend to open city centre bar
A Nottingham sporting legend is set to open a new bar to replace the former Saltwater bar and restaurant.
Ex-professional boxer, Carl Froch MBE has revealed plans to launch a new venue called Alto on the second floor of The Cornerhouse this summer.
The new bar is part of a joint venture with John Glover and Marc Brough, who have a wealth of previous experience in the bar and restaurant scene.
As part of the renovation, Alto will boast four new bars and a newly designed rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the Nottingham skyline, whilst offering cocktails and a new menu.
Charlie Truman, centre executive for The Cornerhouse, said: “We are delighted to welcome Alto to The Cornerhouse, and we are very much looking forward to working with the new team. It’s great to have Nottingham star Carl Froch bringing a new element to the centre, and adding to the rest of our brilliant venues here at The Cornerhouse.
“The new bar is sure to bring a fresh and exciting atmosphere, making the most of the great space and one of the city’s only rooftop bars, as we approach the summer months.”
Marc Brough, director of Alto said: “Myself, Carl and John are all excited to be launching this new venture together. The Cornerhouse is a staple part of the city and for us it’s great to bring our new ideas and plans to it.
“Saltwater was always a great venue and a place that really pioneered the Nottingham bar scene, so it’s brilliant that we can now move into that same space with the iconic rooftop terrace and begin a new legacy with Alto.
“We can’t wait for the people of Nottingham to see what we have instore for Alto, it’s sure to be a great place to enjoy some delicious food and cocktails in the sun this summer.”
