Historic Interest
The Bodega is an Edwardian building, built in 1902 on the site of an earlier pub, the Durham Ox, which had been famous for its musical performances. The pub has undergone several name changes before reverting to Bodega, including Cairo's, Rosie O'Briens, the Pump House and the Social (Whitworth 2010). Note the unusual facade with date stone and the two sculptured shields bearing the name Bodega.
More recent performers at the Bodega include Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Duffy, Florence & the Machine, Franz Ferdinand, The Kooks, The Libertines, Mumford & Sons, Noah & the Whale, Scissor Sisters, Snow Patrol, Supergrass and Rusty Shackle.
The Bodega is in Nottingham City Council's Lace Market Conservation Area.
