Indie coffee brand’s newest venue lands in Hockley

BEAR, a Midlands-based coffee and lifestyle brand is expanding with a new store in Hockley, Nottingham.

This will be the company’s seventh shop, located on Carlton Street and doors will open on Thursday, November 16th.

The building, formerly housing Boilermaker and Boca Lima has kept its architectural character, including a glass roof and exposed columns.

In this new shop, you can expect expertly brewed coffee, fresh seasonal food, hand-crafted cocktails, fine wines, and craft beer.

Additionally, they will offer ‘Later at BEAR’ in the evenings from 5 pm, featuring delicious items like smash burgers, taco trays, loaded fries, and unique cocktails.

Craig Bunting, co-founder of BEAR, said: “As a brand rooted in the heart of the Midlands, with our headquarters proudly based in Derby, we are elated to be bringing BEAR to Nottingham’s vibrant Hockley neighbourhood. Taking on this iconic location is a natural and fitting next step for BEAR, and we’re thrilled to become a part of the dynamic community in Hockley.”
