The Beeston Social is a bar, kitchen and arcade on Station Road in Beeston, Nottingham, from the team behind Nottingham favourites Penny Lane, Hockley Arts Club and the Blind Rabbit. The high-ceilinged space — with mid-century-British design, plant life, neon and bold industrial touches — holds around 300, and on sunny days the doors fold back to open it up. Alongside its food menu of British classics and world street food and a retro-games arcade, it hosts open-mic nights upstairs on the last Sunday of the month, 5–9pm, with a PA provided and a mixed music policy welcoming both originals and covers. A private upstairs room (up to 90, own bar) is also available for events.
