Revolution in Broad Street, Hockley, will shut its doors on August 11, bringing an end to its 27-year presence in the city centre. 

Last month the bar’s closure was confirmed on Revolution’s website, with a notice reading: “We are sorry to say that we will be closing the doors at Nottingham - Hockley in early August. 

“We're going to be throwing the best parties and serving up the best food up until this time, come and join us for one last Pornstar Martini!”

In a statement released earlier this year, Revolution Bar Group said it was looking to raise £12.5 million as part of restructuring plans. 

It subsequently confirmed that 12 sites across the UK would close, including Hockley. 

On August 10, one day prior to its official closure, the bar is to host an all-day party. 

An online advertisement for the event says: “We are going out with an absolute bang with our ALL DAY closing party which you are all invited to on August 10th!

“We’re talking all things drag, brunch, masterclasses, saxophonist, DJs, canapes, shot samples and the list goes on.

“We would LOVE for you to join us all in celebrating Revolution Hockley and the incredible memories we have created over the years.”
