About The Beeston Social

This is the background on The Beeston Social, from the venue and its listings. It has live music 1 night a week. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

The Beeston Social is a grassroots music venue in Beeston, Nottingham with a standing capacity of about 300.

Listing notes

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.

The Beeston Social holds about 300 standing, which makes it a medium room by the sizes we use across the directory. That is bigger than the typical room we list around Nottingham (about 150). At 150 to 500, a room tends to book acts with a following of their own: local headliners, or support for a touring band, often through a promoter. Treat the number as a guide until it is verified, and check it with the venue first.
