Fans of a Nottingham city centre coffee shop and bar are wondering why it is currently closed. There has been no explanation why Boca Lima in Hockley isn't open for business, either through a sign on the door or on social media.
The site in Carlton Street used to be secret bar Boilermaker and coffee shop Braze, but transformed into Boca Lima last July under the same ownership. The all-day and night-time venue serves coffee, cocktails and a wider range of other drinks plus meat and cheese sharing platters.
One customer, who asked not to be named, said: "We were going to go there for a coffee the other day but it was all shut up and there was no sign of life. I really hope it's going to reopen as it's a lovely chilled place - and they do great cocktails as well as good coffee."

Rather than being hidden the venue was opened up to make it more visible and to boost business after a tough time during the pandemic. A wall separating the coffee shop and bar was torn down to create a more open space.
When Nottinghamshire Live contacted the owner Nigel Garlick he said he couldn't comment at the moment but added about his other bars in Bridlesmith Walk: "Junkyard and The Kilpin are busy and doing well. Our new menu is fantastic."
