Our Lounge

Portello Lounge is on a great spot on Central Avenue by Bridgford Park, just along from Trent Bridge. We serve a fantastic range of food and drinks (including kids, gluten free and vegan menus) in a light, airy space stretching across two floors with a satisfyingly huge chandelier hanging from the top to the ground floor. With our full height windows on each floor that open right up, our pavement tables and little balcony, we’re just perfect for people watching on match – or any other – day. Howzat!

A person holds a festive fried chicken sandwich with melted cheese, cranberry sauce for a touch of Christmas flavor, and a bacon-wrapped item on top, with a bowl of fries nearby.

Five people in festive sweaters share a holiday meal at a decorated table beside a Christmas tree, smiling and enjoying food and drinks in a cozy lounge, with candles and ornaments as table decorations.
