Opium Bar and Restaurant

Chinese Restaurant

At the heart of the fashionable Lace Market, Opium is a stylish bar and Chinese restaurant in Nottingham, idyllically set in a renovated listed building and providing a unique Oriental dining and drinking experience.

Offering three venues in one location, Opium is a fantastic destination for a complete night out in Nottingham. Start your evening in the bar on the ground floor. Furnished with original antique Chinese screens, artefacts and opium beds, it is an opulent yet intimate area reminiscent of the Shanghai Parlours of the early 1900’s. Here, you can enjoy an extensive Dim Sum menu and a selection of Oriental Tapas.

Accessible via a sweeping staircase leading you to its high glass walls and ceilings, the first floor restaurant and lounge has a casual colonial-style dining ambience to complement the traditional and fusion Cantonese cuisine on offer. Simply furnished with chandeliers and Chinese lanterns, the restaurant also offers two private dining rooms for special celebrations.

Finally, the Forbidden Lounge on the second floor is the essence of Zen; calm, relaxing and comfortable. Designed in a contemporary style, it is ideal for pre and post-dinner drinks in a more peaceful setting than the lively bar.
