What was previously The Approach is now Southbank City. That's right, that Trent Bridge boozer has cloned itself and has been blasted into the city centre

Your favourite Bridgford boozer has made the grand journey to the murky depths of the city centre. That’s right, the sports bar and grill has set up shop on Friar Lane, and is inviting you lot to join their endeavour to make the street that little bit swankier. They’ve had a right do-over, changing their name from The Approach to The Southbank Bar - Nottingham City, and have decked their halls with the freshest of decor.

Following in the footsteps of their Trent Bridge sister, it’s a sports bar through and through, with 22 screens, a projector, a darts board, an American pool table, and even a PS4. If you just fancy kicking back for some munch, you can chill out in one of the booths – they’ve got screens in too. Not slacking on their events calendar, Roy Ayers is set to play on Sunday 24 July, and Shaun Ryder will be telling his tales of UFOs, Madchester and belly aches on Thursday 28 July. Not only that, there’ll be regular live music slots from local heads, plus DJs galore. Be sure to pop your noggin in and check out all that good stuff.
