Quick info
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
Reviewers single out the staff most, calling them brilliant and friendly, and one says they phoned a guest with a severe nut allergy beforehand to confirm a safe meal. Diners also name the three course meal, the live band, good music and the photo booth. One reviewer found the DJ's mic too loud during the quiz and shout outs. Another group was moved without fuss after being seated apart.
