Spend in the city on Small Business Saturday and take advantage of the great range of unusual and original shops and venues Nottingham has to offer – all while supporting the local economy and businesses! Take a look at some of our top recommendations. For more information and inspiration from the city’s independent businesses visit www.itsinnottingham.com/independents
Independent restaurants in the city are synonymous with quality food, fresh ingredients and friendly service and Sinatra on Chapel Bar is a perfect example of all three. Serving seasonal dishes prepared from scratch in their kitchen, Sinatra is the perfect destination for a cosy date night or catch up dinner with friends.
For locally sourced steaks, home cooked specialities and a Motown soundtrack, look no further than Soulville Steakhouse on Queen Street. With hearty recipes and guaranteed service with a smile, a visit to Soulville Steakhouse is food for the soul which won’t break the bank.

Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or a casual player, spend the evening letting your competitive streak free at Alt Gaming Lounge. If the wide array of platforms and games don’t take your fancy then we’re sure their menu will. Try an indulgent ‘Freak Shake’ or game themed cocktail.
If you’re looking for something unique but still want an incredible range to choose from, Ice Nine in Hockley is a treasure trove of eclectic products. Renowned for their extensive array of sterling silver jewellery and alternative clothing amongst other things, you can find everything from Bongo drums to Banksy prints all under one roof.
The hardest part of treating your tresses in Nottingham is choosing between the city’s great independent salons. From Zullo and Holland on Upper Parliament Street, specialising in Wella products and creative styling to Icon Hair and Beauty in The Cornerhouse, specialising in L’Oreal products and technical services, you’ll
be spoilt for choice. For a sanctuary of pampering and relaxation in the heart of the city, visit Beauty Temple on Queen Street. With elegant treatment rooms and a beautiful champagne bar, book in for a deluxe treatment or treat a loved one to a gift voucher.
