Café Sobar

Café Sobar is one of a kind. Every time you visit Café Sobar, as well as enjoying great food and drink in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, you’ll also be supporting a fantastic cause and helping local people to change their lives. A vibrant and welcoming alcohol-free environment offering something for everyone. Named as one of Nottingham's Top 10 bars by The Culture Trip, a refreshing alternative to mainstream bars and restaurants. Whether you’re calling in for one of our signature all day breakfasts, grabbing lunch with friends, or simply enjoying our perfectly prepared coffee, you can always be sure of a warm welcome. If you're looking for a venue, join the many local groups and businesses that consider Café Sobar an ideal location to come together for social and business meetings. Cafe Sobar has been developed by Double Impact, the Nottingham-based drug and alcohol recovery charity, with the support of a grant from the Big Lottery Fund. The initial idea for Café Sobar came from the users of Double Impact services, who found that one of the main barriers to their recovery was social isolation and the lack of places to go that are alcohol-free, particularly in the evenings and at weekends. Our vision is to provide Nottingham with an alternative to the mainstream restaurants and bars, offering a convivial and creative space open to everyone who wants the choice to socialise without a focus on alcohol. Cafe Sobar is a social enterprise, so all profits go directly back into the Double Impact charity, helping to fund the services needed to support people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. The bar also provides opportunities for people in recovery to gain valuable experience, training, volunteering and employment.
