    very nice discovery, don't forget to book A very nice place, a very attentive staff, a jazz club atmosphere as we would expect. The sound was great, the food was just good and the price of 24 euros for the concert plus food was just right. The band was really good and we had a great time.

    Attended the Twilight show, to see Lukas Oravec and Alex Garnett quintet, on Saturday evening and opted for the included set menu. The atmosphere is truly wonderful here and the food was delicious. I couldn't believe the value for money with options for veggie, vegan and meat eaters. We sat to the right of the stage by the wall. Perfect view and perfect sound. The staff and service was second to none, with recommendations on drinks and absolute attention to detail. I highly recommend their cocktails. I honestly felt like I was in one of the jazz and blues clubs of old. The perfect escape from Nottingham at just a fraction of the typical prices usually associated with escape. Having attended the likes of Ronnie Scott's previously I'm not surprised that Peggy's Skylight has won Jazz Venue of the Year for the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2021! I will be returning very soon and encourage anyone who wants to the complete jazz or blues experience to try it out. You won't regret it!

    So we went with for the first time with one of my friend to see the Moscow Drug Club. The venue is fantastic, the performance was exceptional and the food was delicious. We’ve ordered 4 Mezze to share amongst us which was plenty: Goat cheese pizza Green lamb with orzo Rose harissa butternut squash - peculiar flavour with the rose Chicken, almond and date tagine - which was our favorite. The sauce was so rich and the chicken so moist. We both enjoyed it. We also treated ourselves to desserts : baklava and a slice of the citrus and almond cake. The staff was so friendly and professional on top of that - we both decide that we will be back. Thank you for such a great evening!

    Superb venue. Proper jazz club. The only thing missing from it to make it feel like an old 60s jazz club is the smoke! Peggy's is now part of the national jazz circuit and it gets very good artists at the top of their game. Food and cocktails very good. Service is top notch. It is a pleasure to give this wonderful independent venue my money.

    It was a real privilege just to be part of this 5th birthday celebration at Peggy's. Born out of a love for good music and food. Even a local power cut couldn't stop the heartfelt performances. Service and ambience pure class. We were 3 generations and it bridged the gap effortlessly. Will be back for more. Thank you.

    Comfortable unique style venue. Staff excellent, polite and very helpful. Band and Lead singer was superb. We came a long way to this event. Well worth it. Oh! Food was very good. Definitely visit again. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good night out.

    Honestly amazing, the drinks: exquisite, the entertainment (Kat Eaton): flawless I commend the staff here they are back and forth across the room serving everyone kindly. (Table service) The drink I had: Mardis Gras'Hopper - so tasty, just the right amount of mint and chocolate. Also tried out the cereal milk ice cream. It really does taste like cereal milk, you have to try it! Ladies bathrooms are very cool with double doors on each stall, you feel like a star coming out of the loo xD And a fancy big sink to go along with it.

    Fantastic. We have wanted to go since Peggy's Skylight opened and it was well worth the wait. Food, drinks and the music were all top-notch. We'll definitely be back very soon.

    Amazing live music. Amazing food too. We thoroughly enjoyed our first Jazz Club experience

    Probably the best meal I've eaten in 2023, and the music was pretty awesome too! Venturing out on New Year's Eve is not something I would usually do, however my husband suggested we spend the evening at Peggy's, and I'm so glad we did. Kat Eaton was an amazing performer with a stunning blues voice, and the musicians in her band were outstanding. The food was fabulous - as a gluten-intolerant vegetarian I am not used to being spoiled for choice! The flavours were stunning, and both dishes were cooked to perfection. As I said to my husband, if I'm going to get food this good then I might even be able to cope with some jazz on a future occasion! A truly special venue with a great atmosphere, which I highly recommend you try at the earliest opportunity.

    This is an amazing venue come here & you’re have the best night, from the food, drinks, live band & the staff. We saw Sticky Morales amazing band that did funk & soul covers couldn’t stop singing & dancing a long👌. The whole ambiance of this venue is electric everyone is just having a great time which is what you want from a night out. Would love to come here more but unfortunately don’t live in Nottingham but when I’m up next visiting I definitely be coming again💯🎵⭐️👌🍹

    The BEST place I've visited so far. Food is excellent, wonderful live music from the house band (they are really wonderful). Overall, just a really great experience in every single aspect. Food, drink, venue, music. My top recommended spot in Nottingham

    Best jazz club in the city… if not the best I’ve been to. Such a great fun and lively atmosphere. Abit expensive but that’s a jazz club for you. Will be coming back.

    Such a cute intimate jazz bar. Saw Jo Harrop sing which was awesome. Good range of drinks, cocktails and nibbling food

    Me and my partner have just been tonight - we both enjoy our jazz so we decided to book at Peggy’s to celebrate a special occasion. Turned up (literally the first people to walk through the door for the evening show) to find out that they missed our booking completely (or maybe I think they swapped us to a different show - possibly the Twilight one? - considering the chit chat I’ve overheard). I booked those tickets at least a week before, requesting some seats next to the piano (which would have been very special to us). Because of the error with our booking, they first sat us to a table next to the entrance door (with no guarantee of being able to sit us in the main stage room, as it was a fully booked night), then they eventually found a space for us on to the staggered seats (my least favourite place), just in front of the sound engineers. The point is - whilst I understand and appreciate that the staff went a long mile to try and find us a spot and accommodate us, to me the whole remediation just wasn’t good enough and I left hugely disappointed - even if we tried to make the most of our night. We have paid, in a moment where money significantly counts, 30£ for 2 tickets (exactly as everyone else in that room!) and we were left experiencing the first 20/30 minutes of our special night (which should have been consisted of settling down and enjoying ourselves, ordering drinks and food) stressing out and possibly trying to find up a plan B. In the end, we decided to stay and entertained ourselves, but again, was left hugely frustrated by the whole experience and it did significantly reduce the night’s mood. I don’t think such an error is excusable, especially on the main night show - we paid a ticket that was valid exactly as everyone else’s. On top of that, we were offered absolutely nothing for the trouble, nor a drink, not a dessert on the house - which again I understand it’s not a given, but would have been such a significant gesture of reconciliation. Customers give you their time and their money to make sure a unique and valuable business such as yours survives during uncertain times - do better.

    Such a beautiful venue. I have been saying I wanted to go here for so long I can't believe I've been missing out all this time. The atmosphere is amazing, it feels very intimate. I highly recommend the velvet pistachio cocktail. Will definitely be coming back again and again

    I love this place! 4 if us went at Saturday lunchtime. Had very tasty veggy and spicy sausage tapas dishes all freshly made. Nice selection of beers. Then the music! A simple jazz duet made for an ideal, relaxed afternoon.

    If you love live music, this is a really enjoyable way to see some good bands. We weren't expecting much from the food as we thought the attraction would be music and booze, but we were so happy we were wrong. The food was really really good. Full of flavour and really well put together. The service was equally impressive, and we will definitely be looking out for other bands we would like to watch here. The only slight negative, where we were sat near the stage, was that it is very drafty so in winter it feels really cold through out. But we can forgive that and sit in a jacket (as a few did) when the food and music is this good. Also,when we mentioned this, they told us next time we could ask to be sat nearer the kitchen where is warmer...so there are options

    Wow, a hidden gem in Nottingham’s nightlife, lots of dating couples, plus few larger groups like us. Was easy to travel to with tram from Beeston. Our party was mix of student’s, a musician and 3 people new to jazz. All enjoyed equally. Food was lovely if you’re just looking for light bite, staff were very attentive, toilets clean and the entertainment was superb: Lunar Octet [latin #jazz]. Plan to visit again soon.

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 1 year ago on Google
    I simply love this place, being able to enjoy live music in the daytime and evening, relax eat good food and be close to the music, without barging and being crowded is perfect

  • 5/5 joanna B. 1 year ago on Google
    Peggy’s is an absolute joy! Amazing food, warm and welcoming atmosphere, fantastic music. I love that the clientele span the full age range from 20’s to 70’s. And I’ve been introduced to such a wide range of music through my visits. Don’t forget to book as it’s allocated seating only, but going to this place is a must. You won’t regret it 😊

  • 5/5 James W. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience all round. The space is amazing with a selection between cozy tables and rows of art deco cinema chairs. There is a fantastic atmosphere with perfect lighting and a general buzz. The live music was incredible. And the food was to die for, we got a selection of meze plates which were each really enjoyable. What made the experience however was the attentive service. 10/10 highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Matt B. 2 years ago on Google
    We got married and held our reception at Peggy's and it was perfect. The staff were great, the food was amazing and the general smoothness of the day was handled superbly by the team. It is hard to overstate how fantastic Rachel and her team were; they created a beautiful menu, sourced perfect flowers and a great band, even hooked up A.V for our New Zealand friends to participate in the event. All this in the midst of the pandemic. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Fabulous evening. Great ambience, soulful jazz that moves you to a whole new level. Staff superb and compliments to the chef 👌

  • 5/5 Graham S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a brilliant time, staff are always on it and the venue really surprised me in a good way. Plenty of comfortable seating, good food and the act was 💯. Don't know why I'm not here every week to be honest.
