Despite the name, this 'shack' is a large sturdy open plan and airy building situated in the Lace Market area of Nottingham. Over 30 types of burger are available and is an authentic slice of Americana in Nottingham, complemented with piped music from the 1950's and 1960's. The ground floor restaurant has a U-shaped bar with two banks of 5 handpumps dispensing a changing selection of real ales, mainly from microbreweries, and some from outside the local area. The rough sawn logs beneath the bar top are a nice touch. The upstairs decor is a mixture of wooden floorboards and exposed brickwork. Dried hops hang above the windows whilst one wall is adorned with vintage looking American sporting equipment such as ice hockey sticks and body armour. Drinkers are welcome to sit at the bar, but not at the dining tables. The basement bar, named 'Ocean State Tavern' is open from 5pm weekdays and 12 noon at weekends, and has bare brickwork, industrial piping and wood which form a rustic décor. Perimeter booths accompany the bar seating.
