Our beloved Rescue Rooms was born in 2003 from the ashes of the RKO Sports & Media Bar, with a mission to create a relaxed and welcoming bar & patio for socialising, and an incredible, intimate live music venue space to accomodate upcoming live acts.

In our short but illustrious history, we have been lucky enough to host some amazing artists, including Jungle, The Killers, Dave, Everything Everything, Calvin Harris, The Amazons, Wild Beasts, Four Tet, Jake Bugg, Chase & Status, Bloc Party, Charli XCX, Animal Collective, Loyle Carner, The Libertines, Disclosure, Stormzy, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, London Grammar, Young Fathers, Wolf Alice, Sleaford Mods, and… er… Toploader, amongst many, many others.

Our bar & patio also plays host to some of the best late-night bar events in NoNo (North Nottingham), with the city’s longest running indie disco Pressure on Tuesday nights and our infamous Karaoke night on Wednesdays, while under the cover of darkness on Saturday nights, we form an allicance with our neighbour Stealth for a huge multi-room party Stealth vs. Rescued.
