Mystery surrounding future of Nottingham waterside pub after closure

Mystery surrounds the future of one of Nottingham's waterside drinking spots. The Waterfront bar, overlooking Nottingham Canal, is believed to have closed recently.

No explanation has been given for the closure. The last review for the bar came a month ago, complaining about slow service and the starter and main course arriving a the same time.
