Peggy's Skylight in West Bridgford

Ah, Peggy's Skylight – what a lovely find in the heart of Nottingham! I've got to say, it's one of those places that really warms you up with its live jazz sessions; the music is just infectious, drawing you in with everything from heartfelt blues to energetic tributes like the ones for Stan Getz or George Gershwin. The events lineup is always buzzing, and it's clear from the chatter that folks absolutely love the atmosphere – it's intimate without feeling cramped, and the staff go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable, whether you're there for a relaxed afternoon or a full evening out. The food's a real highlight too; that Middle Eastern inspired menu with its tapas-style small plates is full of bold flavours that pair beautifully with a drink or the music, and it's no wonder people rave about it for special occasions like weddings. But, to keep it real, the portions can be a tad skimpy, so you might end up eyeing the menu for seconds if you're after a heartier meal. Still, with such high praise from the crowd – averaging a stellar 4.8 out of 5 – it's a spot I'd happily recommend to mates for a memorable night out, as long as you go in with the right expectations. All in all, it's a fantastic addition to the local scene, blending great tunes, good company, and a bit of culinary flair in a way that keeps you coming back.
