Last orders for Nottingham cocktail bar

A Nottingham cocktail bar in the city’s hip Hockley area has closed for good.

Cottonmouth, on Goose Gate has shut its doors for the last time after five years in business.

However, the company’s owners say they are in talks with a new operator to take over the building, who will “inject more quality” to Nottingham’s hospitality sector.

A statement from Cottonmouth owner Adrian Whitehouse said: “It’s been a great five years, but we feel that now is the time to do something different with our lives.

“We’ve met some incredible people along the way, new friendships have blossomed, and we will always be grateful for the all the folks that have supported us, whether it be walking through the door, or spreading the word.

“What happens next for the cottonmouth brand? Something exciting! There’s a few ideas in the hat for now, so you haven’t seen the last of us yet… we just need a little bit of time.”
