About Bistro Live
Bistro Live sits on Barker Gate in Nottingham as a restaurant built around evening entertainment, with live music, a DJ, or a band featured as part of the night. Meals run as a set three course format, moving from starter to main to dessert, and waiting staff handle table service throughout. There is no reservation system, and the room takes walk-ins as they arrive. The combination of a fixed three course structure and the evening's live act gives the meal a set pace from arrival to dessert, with the entertainment running alongside the courses rather than as a separate event.

Customer Review Summary
The three course meal and live band draw repeat mention, with the photo booth and quiz nights also noted. Reviewers describe a birthday visit where staff called ahead to arrange a safe meal for a nut allergy. One diner flags the DJ's microphone as too loud during shout outs, though otherwise calling the night lovely, with fast drinks and good music recurring throughout.
