Hole In The Wall is a pub at 63 North Sherwood Street in Nottingham city centre (NG1 4EZ), a little larger than the name suggests, with a long bar on the right and a large outdoor paved patio to the left. It welcomes both original music and covers, making it a versatile platform for emerging artists, and its in-house PA supports a mixed-genre line-up in a community atmosphere that encourages local talent to take the stage.

NottinghamAbout the night
The Hole in the Wall is a 1930s art-deco back-street pub at 63 North Sherwood Street in Nottingham (NG1 4EZ), and its open mic runs on Sunday evenings. The uncertainty that hung over the pub when the previous licensees announced they were leaving the trade has passed - it is trading under new ownership and reviewers in 2026 still call it a cracking little family-run boozer. There's a guitar and a piano on hand, so you can travel light, and entry is free. The rest of the week takes in a Thursday quiz and karaoke nights.
