Old Angel Public House, Grade II listed pub in Lace Market, Nottingham, England.
The Old Angel sits at the corner of Stoney Street and Warser Gate, displaying architectural features from the 1800s with original windows and brick facades. Today it operates as an organic gastro pub with a dedicated venue space serving seasonal cuisine.
The building was constructed around 1600 and underwent significant renovations in 1878 under landlord W Robinson. Further modifications followed in 1883 by architect H Walker.
The establishment played a key role in the local rock scene during the 1980s, providing a stage for emerging bands in their early years. The venue space became known for launching musicians who later achieved widespread recognition.
The pub sits conveniently in the Lace Market area and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that it functions as both a dining establishment and event venue, so availability can vary depending on scheduled performances or private bookings.
Beneath the pub lies an extensive cave system that served as an air raid shelter during World War Two. These subterranean spaces remain a fascinating remnant of wartime history.
