Bendigo Lounge in Beeston

Oh, Bendigo Lounge is one of those places that just hits the spot for a laid-back get-together in Beeston. Named after a local boxing legend, it's got this charming, eclectic decor with murals and big windows that let in loads of light, making it feel warm and inviting no matter the time of day. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is a real winner – whether you're tucking into a brilliant breakfast, a smashing burger, or even some vegan options, everything seems to be cooked with care and arrives pretty quickly. The staff are top-notch too, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after, which adds to that homely feel. Plus, with deals like Tapas Tuesdays or Cocktail Club offers, it's a wallet-friendly choice for midweek fun. On the flip side, though, the QR code ordering can take away from the personal touch you'd expect in a cosy lounge, and it's a shame about the lack of student discounts since it's right in the heart of things. Portions are decent but not massive, so if you're starving, you might fancy an extra side. All in all, it's a solid pick for anyone wanting a good meal and a chat, with that 4.4 rating speaking volumes about the good times had here – I'd say give it a go if you're in Nottingham, but keep those little niggles in mind for a balanced experience.
