Nottingham is very similar to the other hookup spotswe've profiled in that the best days to go out in Nottingham are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. However, pretty much all of the bars and clubs are opened on the weekdays too so you don't have to wait until the weekend to go out. Phew!

Any Notes

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The Rum House is a cocktail bar that specializes in serving... you guessed it! Rum! We often forget how great rum can be, but this alcohol is way better than the rum and cokes we used to drink as young adults. Let The Rum House convince you that rum is the sophisticated beverage that it was always meant to be. Each signature cocktail is better than the last, so you'll just have to try all of them! But if you did have to pick just one, we recommend Gin Rummy, which is a rum and gin based cocktail. We don't know how they get that combination to work, but somehow they do! If you hit up The Rum House on a Tuesday, you can take advantage of the buy one get one half off drink special. We never thought about going out on a Tuesday before this drink special!

The most popular hangout out spot is along the bar, where you can strike up a friendly conversation with the bartenders or locals. It may not be fancy, but it is incredibly friendly and comfortable. And sometimes that's exactly what you want in a hookup spot!

After all, what could be sexier than a bit of healthy competition? Exactly!
