ONE of Nottingham’s quirkiest bars has closed for good blaming the pandemic.

Glasshouse, overlookin­g Trinity Square, has been a popular spot on the city’s nightlife scene since 2020.

Renowned for its colourful, eccentric decor the bar was decked out with topiary peacocks, neon signs and colourful flowers making it an indoor rooftop garden.

The owners revealed the closure on Facebook.

The announceme­nt said: “It is with great sadness we are letting you know we are closed permanentl­y. We’ve enjoyed every minute we’ve shared with you all here at Glasshouse.

“We wish we could continue to share the food, the cocktails and the great moments we’ve had here with you.

“However, the lasting effects of the pandemic have caught up with us.

“As we announce our closure we’d like to thank all the staff that have helped make Glasshouse the experience it has been.

Most importantl­y, we’d like to thank all of you that have come to enjoy Glasshouse with us and all we’ve had to offer!

“Without you, we wouldn’t have made it as long as we have.”

One fan said: “So sad to hear this. We had an amazing time visiting. Both the food and the service was fantastic.”

Another commented: “Such a shame fabulous place.”

The bar was previously Monty’s, a games bar, and before that, was the Curious Manor. Glasshouse was part of the locally owned Curious Venues groups. Its other bars including Lost Property, the Lost Caves, Ginsecco and the Curious Tavern in Nottingham continue to trade along with the Black Pearl in West Bridgford.
