Right in the heart of Nottingham, Red Dog Saloon on Victoria Street is the kind of place that brings people together over great food, cold drinks and seriously good vibes. Just minutes from Old Market Square and the Lace Market, it’s perfectly placed for everything from laid-back lunches and pre-night-out dinners to full-blown celebrations with friends and family.
At its core, Red Dog Saloon is all about authentic Southern-style BBQ done properly. This is a restaurant that takes its meat seriously with slow-smoked brisket, St Louis ribs, Nashville hot wings and burgers made with chuck steak ground in-house. Everything is cooked low and slow, just as it should be, and served in a lively sports-bar setting that’s relaxed, welcoming and always buzzing.
The menu is unapologetically indulgent. Crowd favourites include the Pepperoni Pounder, stacked with mozzarella sticks, jalapeños and marinara, and the Rodeo Burger, loaded with pancetta, onion strings and fig ancho BBQ sauce. BBQ lovers can dig into classics like pulled pork, burnt ends, or the mighty BBQ Stack, piled high with ribs, wings, fries and corn, all of which is ideal for sharing. There are also great veggie options, from loaded hummus plates to plant-based burgers, so everyone’s covered.
The atmosphere is what really sets Red Dog apart. With screens throughout the venue, it’s a brilliant place to catch live sport, while the fully stocked bar serves up craft beers, cocktails, and a standout selection of American whiskeys, tequilas and mezcals. On Saturday nights, the energy ramps up even further with Nashville Nights, bringing live country rock and a dancefloor buzz to the heart of Nottingham.
It’s also a fantastic choice for group celebrations. Whether you’re planning a birthday, work social or just an excuse to get everyone together, Red Dog Saloon offers private hire options, tailored menus and the option to add DJs or live music to the mix.
