16 new jobs as cocktail bar announces opening date

Be At One, the latest bar in a crowded Nottingham scene, has named its opening date.

The cocktail bar will open to the public on Friday 16 September, creating 16 jobs.

TheBusinessDesk.com revealed in June that Be At One had chosen Nottingham for its latest opening, and work has now been carried out to transform the venue on Victoria Street, which used to be the Nirvana bar.

Co-founder and director Steve Locke said: “I’m really looking forward to opening the bar – it’s going to be absolutely phenomenal. Nottingham is a great city and the Hockley area in particular is really buzzing, although there’s nothing like Be At One there at the moment.

“We take our drinks seriously and are consistently refining our menu and testing the drinks to keep improving them. We also pride ourselves on offering great customer service.

“Our new bartenders are all local talent and they undergo nine weeks of training which costs £5,000 each. This training means that all our guests will be acknowledged within five seconds of reaching the bar. To my knowledge no-one else invests so much in training their bartenders.”
