Carolyn1985 1 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I saw a reference to a bar called 'The Bentinck' today in an old leaflet on pubs from 1970s Nottingham - I think it was 1974ish. Would this have been the one on Station Street which is now a Starbucks or were there others with the same name? Does anyone remember it? Niche question I know!

Cliff Ton 10,498 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Was this specifically a reference to a bar rather than a pub ? The Bentinck on Station Street was always known as a hotel; maybe it had a bar of the same name within it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carolyn1985 1 Posted July 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I can see one very terrible photo online below the hotel where starbucks used to be. Not sure if this is what they are referring to though. I saw the reference today randomely and can't remember if it said bar or pub. https://www.inapub.co.uk/venues/the-bentinck-hotel/nottingham/ng23aj/24784 There wasn't anything else with a similar name?

Oztalgian 3,345 Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 This is a photo from their website The Bentinck Hotel – Comfortable Hotel in Nottingham City Centre Looks pretty good and well situated. Can't see the menu on their website though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,498 Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 This shows what the place looked like in the 90s, before Starbucks moved in. https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/ntgm021079/posterid/ntgm021079.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
