Happy after my visit to The Pelican Club. The atmosphere and service was great, with a lovely range of drinks. The staff were helpful and the live music was a lovely touch.
The meals were rather pricey for the size, and the menu was rather limited, but the quality of the food was fantastic.
If you want a warm atmosphere, cool surroundings, tasty food, amazing cocktails and brilliant live jazz then this is the place for you. The perfect night out.
Me and my wife had a great time going for dinner on a Friday night. Staff were very attentive and constantly asking if we needed anything and refilled the water bottle every time it was empty without asking. Food was great and top it off the entertainment of the jazz band playing really made the evening special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special evening.
An excellent, inclusive atmosphere with recently priced drinks. The staff are attentive and kind, with a good reception in a table seated environment. The sound of the bands isn't too loud and allows conversation at your tables.
Really buzzy, busy restaurant in the centre of Nottingham with live music sets throughout the evening. There were six of us. All said the food was good but my lamb was slightly over salted. Service was really relaxed and friendly. Would go again.
An Italian restaurant that doubles as jazz venue. The food was remarkably good, on the whole, with the stuffed aubergines very tasty and highly recommended by the vegetarians in the group, and the pork medallions very succulent.
The jazz ensemble, a duo with the lead Italian singer treating the diners to a smooth repertoire, was nice and acted as a background music rather than being too intrusive.
Location I a quiet square of the Lace Market. Parking is extraordinarily expensive around the site, so use public transport if you can.
The host and staff were impeccable.
Two points worth noting:
- Vegetarian options are somewhat limited and the vegetarian pasta option rather dry
- The venue is more a restaurant that provides a setting for jazz rather than a jazz venue that happens to serve food. Lovely night out but would have loved a bit "rawness" and edginess about the jazz.
An excellent venue that combines really good Italian food and live jazz. Staff were all unfailingly helpful and enthusiastic. We shall certainly return!
So nice place. Cocktails are amazing. If you want to have nice time in calm atmosphere— this is the best! Recommend!!!
Tastey food, with great music and brilliant staff. I would definetely go back. We had cocktails, starters , mains and desert. Everything was great except the ravioli i had which i was not the biggest fan of the sauce (hence they lost 1 star) , but that would not put me off coming back. Next time i will try a different dish. The atmosphere was fantastic and the selesction of cocktails topped the night off. Lovely restaurant.
Great experience, food was lovely, everyone was very polite and live music. Unfortunately on a pasta dish there was a big piece of plastic at the bottom so my sister only found it at the end of her meal wich was a bit discussing, we raised this with the waitress and recognised the food was really good, she appoligised and that was it..we where expecting at least some discount on that dish but no compensation for the mistake was made, we wherent expecting much since she only found it at the end of the meal but it would have been a good gesture a discount on her dish at least. We paid around £130 for 3 ladies plus tip, no desserts, 1 bottle of wine to share,2 cocktails,2 starters and 3 mains.
Great restaurant with fantastic menu & live Jazz. Service great, food was sublime. My only criticism is the cocktails didn’t feel very boozy. Even by stingy British standards.
Great food, excellent service & atmosphere.
It's a lively place, so be prepared for this.
Food is delicious and wines are well selected at reasonable prices.
Jazz sessions are great and it's a warm, cosy, cossetting sort of place.
Highly recommended.
Staff did as much as possible to make a birthday special, they were all wonderful. Can't thank them enough. Food was lovely, all cleaned our plates . The only tiny tiny comment is that I'd say the music was a tad too loud for diners in a smallish space, the act they had on was brilliant, we enjoyed the music a lot and of course you go to a place like the Pelican for the music as much as anything else...but we still came out with sore throats from shouting across the table at each other all evening which was a little much when the act was in spitting distance anyway.
Treated hubby tonight for our Anniversary! Great selection of drinks and cocktails, All of the food was amazing and cooked to absolute perfection.
The bar staff were very friendly and Dan was so attentive! The lady jazz singer was also excellent! Will 100% be returning, we had a wonderful night!
Went here for dinner on a Thursday night, was quiet but the music made up for it as the atmosphere and decor was lovely. Service was fast and our waiter was friendly and helpful, tentative but not overbearing. The food was very tasty and had an authentic feel to it. We shared an antipasti and a pasta course and had a secondi each which was more than enough as we had to take the rest of our mains home. Bang on, will be back for some live jazz I'm sure!
Amazing service by the lovely and beautiful Kyra! Food was incredible and so was the wine. Loved the live jazz music, a lovely touch and deffo improved the cozy atmosphere. Deffo recommend and will be back soon!!
Great place with life music and warm atmosphere. Very lovely and helpful staff. Affordable prices. Hope to come again to try some of their food.
Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food and wine. Great music.
Love everything about this place. Great cocktails, delicious food and the live jazz is always a treat. I really like the decor as well, you feel as though you've been transported when you walk through the door.
