    AC-DC UK tribute band played here not long back it was a fantastic night the band was amazing none stop classic tunes and giving it all with the singing and back ground music 🎶 very enthusiastic and brilliant entertainment the atmosphere was out if this world !!! This place is 100 % for the best night out on the weekend it doesn't shut until 3am they all ways seem to have great gigs held here most of the time. The elements of this place is clean and plenty of drinks 🍸 to choose from at good reasonable prices ,having three bars to select from as it can get crowded with a upstairs stage and balcony to see the stage from below. Interesting interior features.Not one unhappy person in sight very friendly place to be with a outdoor seating area if you need to cool down from all the fun. Lovely bar staff to security staff smiles all round. Best place to go to Party hard and rock out those stress and blues away. Get on to thier website rescue rooms nottingham check out what special occasions and events they held from your favourite bands or tribute bands is playing or book your own gig there check out the dates 📅 and book your tickets 🎟 the main section held up to 300 people.

    I did like this venue and the layout. Staff and door people were nice. However, as a professional music venue the sound quality is no way good enough. They need to invest in this. Compared to,say, Band on the Wall in Manchester, where there is a fixed house PA too, the difference is significant.

    Everytime I've been it's great. Brilliant staff. Lovely venue. Well organised. And top notch treatment recently when booking a disabled person. Easy to get seating booked in advance. Security person let us in early and showed us to our seats with a proper clear view of the stage. 👏

    I have been going to Rescue Rooms for years for gigs and shows. It has long been one of my favourite venues. The sound is good, it is small enough to feel intimate but big enough that the crowd can give a great vibe. The staff have always been lovely. Prices at the bar are pretty standard, probably considered a little expensive if you're not used to it. Recently attended Seasick Steve and there was some trouble with a couple of individuals and the bouncers were straight onto to them and got them out. The photographs are from the last two gigs I attended, "A1" where we were situated on the balcony and "Seasick Steve" where we were front at the barrier.

    Good sound quality, decent drink prices (I'm a Londoner) if only they are a single member of bar staff short. There is a pillar in the rear right quarter of the room which cuts off views from certain sections but it's up to you if you stand behind it! Enjoy yourself.

    I must admit ... I think I'm too old for this place but it was a good time. Different rooms for different tastes. It appears to be very popular as it was packed. The security staff were friendly enough. Drinks were affordable. The two main rooms we spent the most time in could definitely do with better DJs. Sorry guys, but you gotta work on your transitions. It was painful to listen at times.

    I have been here for several gigs now and it's a really nice intimate venue! The cocktails are nice and the drinks in the venue bar are very reasonably priced at happy hour. The quiz and karaoke night on Wednesdays is great fun although there are very often not enough tables and the quiz is a little unconventional, so if you like a classic pub quiz you may either love it or hate it! The vibe for karaoke is excellent though and the whole crowd gets involved!

    A good venue for seeing live bands. Some views aren't great so unless you get early to get a good spot and never move you'll be OK. The main floor has a good view but if it's busy and your standing at the side, the view is obscured but a large pillar! The balcony at the back has a reasonable view of the band but the view of the stage is a little restricted by the ceiling, lighting and ticker tape machine. The side balcony view is severely restricted. A good venue but depends on where you stand.

    Love Rescue rooms, saw Cloud Busting in the music venue and had a chill in the bar. Great atmosphere, always a pleasure watching live acts here.

    I've been going here for over 15 years, most of the time it is a wonderful venue for live music. Great intimate space, nice outside seating and separate bar with seating. Can only give 4 stars because sometimes it's a bit hit and miss in terms of sound quality and lighting. Even with earplugs in sometimes it's impossible to hear vocals over the music because the levels are so bad. Luckily this isn't the norm, but it happens regularly enough that it needs to be mentioned.

    Off to one of our favourite music venues to see Joan As Policewoman. The venue is smallish but has a good bar and good sound. Staff friendly.

    What a venue! Saw The Reytons here twice and they tore it down but this venue is top class. Average prices but can't beat a can of red stripe whilst having a good time. Good variety of live music there. Friendly staff and bouncers.

    Attended Tom Walker gig. Staff were amazing, had everything under control. Bar staff friendly and happy to give recommendations if not sure on what to drink.

    Great venue but acoustics were really poor as we couldn't hear either acts vocals over the rest of the music. Doubt we will return. Also no toilets in gig part. Had to exit and use the bar ones.

    Great bar and concert venue. Decently priced drinks and great acoustics for live music. Attended a drag show in 2018 and most recently a concert on the 31st of August 2022 and I had an absolutely amazing time.

👍👍 Absolutely amazing! I went to have lunch on my graduation day with my friends. Food was very flavourful and cocktails were nice. Special dietary options are available and you always get 2-4-1 cocktails. Service was really friendly and approachable. Ambience and music is just cherry on top.
