The Beeston Social sets out to tick all the boxes, from early morning coffee for commuters to late-night music and cocktails. Then there's everything in between with weekend breakfasts, pizzas and a children's menu.
You can eat, drink and play at the colourful, kooky spot in Beeston. As well as it being a coffee shop/restaurant/bar there's a mini arcade with games such as air hockey, Guitar Hero, Sega Rally and everyone's seaside favourite - the fairground grabber where lucky players can win a plush toy octopus.
The new venue, located beneath the Arc Cinema, off Station Road, is the latest to take residence at the £50m Beeston Square development. And it's in very capable hands with experienced Nottingham-based operators Fletchergate Industries at the helm.

Fans of Nottingham bars The Hockley Arts Club, The Magic Garden, Das Kino, Penny Lane, The Blind Rabbit and The Walrus will find all the best bits rolled into one at the Beeston site.
And the first thing that will strike visitors is... it's HUGE. In fact it's the biggest spot for eating and drink in the town. There's space for 300 inside and on sunny days the doors fold back to make the high ceilinged building even more light and airy. Outside has seating for a further 86 and an upstairs function room for showing sport and parties has space for a further 100.
Origin Cafe, by the entrance, will operate as a coffee shop from 8am each day. Commuters who bring their own cup can grab a drink for 95p. Pastries - we're talking generously-sized croissants and pain aux raisin from Welbeck Bakery- are a tempting proposition. Loaves from the same bakery can be bought to take home - choose from different varieties of sourdough, sundried tomato and oregano and focaccia.
The same breads are also used to make the sandwiches - a selection that will change daily but you might find the Reuben, chicken Caesar and roasted chickpea fillings. Beeston Brownies add a sweet local touch - something the owners hope to build on in the future by showcasing more homegrown products.
The bar and main food offerings start at noon and continue through the day into the night. One look at the different menus and you'll be spoilt for choice. Large plates include fish and chips, crispy beef with Asian slaw and a giant vegan-friendly couscous salad.
Moving onto small plates the tempura prawns, padron peppers, pork belly skewers and halloumi fries are sure to be crowd pleasers. Pizza and burger fans have it made with plenty of options to keep them satisfied whether they want the meat sweats, something veggie or vegan-friendly.
Breakfast is only served at weekends, starting at 8am for early risers until 11.30am for those who want a lie-in. You'll find all the usuals such as a full English branded the Beeston Breakfast, avocado toast, and eggs with muffins and hollandaise sauce.
The operator's city centre bars are renowned for their cocktails and The Beeston Social doesn't disappoint. There's nothing shy and retiring about the drinks which include the vibrant pink Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which comes with a dragon fruit garnish and temporary tattoo. Twister and Outkast, two favourites at The Hockley Arts Club, will also make it a happy hour or two.
Mocktails, wine, spirits, and beers on tap and in the fridge (Budweiser, Camden and Tiny Rebel amongst them) complete the picture.
What was a yawning chasm has been transformed into a warm and inviting setting. Different styles of seating areas divide the space depending on the vibe - from stools and nostalgic school canteen style wooden tables and chairs to comfy brown 70's sofas and tile-topped tables.
Diners and drinkers are surrounded by greenery galore, hanging down overhead and displayed on the book cabinets, which will also have board games. Eventually customers will be able to buy the plants.
As the company's first venture outside the city centre, general manager Lukasz Rogacewicz said the Beeston Square development presented them with a huge opportunity.
"We have ticked quite a few boxes in one venue. It's taken a year and this is one of the biggest sites for us. It was inspired by all our sites, such as the games in Penny Lane, the burgers in Blind Rabbit and pizza is a staple at Das Kino. There's three cocktails from other sites and the rest are all new to this site.
"I think it's better than I expected. When you look on paper this is massive. My biggest scare with such a big open space is it wouldn't feel cosy but I think this is amazing, with different sections. It's big but we wanted it to be comfortable. We wanted an open space that was flexible."
Late night revellers will be able to party along to a DJ until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. Ryan Chantler, openings manager, said: "From looking around and talking to people Beeston was crying out for a late-night venue and one-stop shop. We didn't want to compete with other businesses in Beeston. We wanted to bring something new and fresh."
It's not just young professionals, families and students that the venue is proving attractive to. Julie Howson, a volunteer at Beeston Memory Cafe for people with dementia, said: "I'm really impressed. We have been lucky enough to be shown around. The decor is quite quirky and it's different to anything else here in Beeston.
"You can go into different parts and they can turn the music down which I think will be quite advantageous and we are always looking for somewhere different to take them and it seems quite promising. It's a very flexible space. I love the fact that you are welcome to come here, pick up a book and read."
The Beeston Social officially opens at 8am on Saturday June 25 but if you wander past beforehand you might get a sneak peek.
