Reverted to Spankies name in 2020 after being Re-branded as Albert's in September 2018. Two floored bar close to the Theatre Royal, Rock City and Nottingham Trent University. Popular with all ages for its relaxed atmosphere during the day and trendy bar-like feel in evenings. Industrial ventilation piping runs throughout. The upper floor is open all day. Pop up kitchen evenings Friday to Sunday.

Historic Interest

At one time, Albert's has been called the Tivoli Rock Cafe, the Fair and Firkin, Speakeasy and Spanky Van Dykes. It started life in 1910 as an early cinema, Pringle's Picture Palace. Originally owned by Ralph Pringle, one of the pioneers of British commercial cinema in the early 20th century. Pringle sold it before the start of World War I, when it became Goldsmith's Picture House. During WWII it became the Little Theatre showing rep and then in 1948 it became the Playhouse Theatre until 1963, after which it became a carpet shop (McGrath 2015).
