I think the location of Hooters in Nottingham can be a lot more easily explained by it being situated between the train station and The City Ground, Meadow Lane and Trent Bridge. Nobody in their right mind would put a normal restaurant there. Match days is the only time I have seen Hooters even remotely full. As restaurants go, the floors are sticky, the whole place needs a really ruddy good clean and hasn't been redecorated in years, the food is microwaved or deep fried straight out of a bag and it's eye-wateringly expensive. It really does rank among the worst places to eat in the city.
I was actually going to say that earlier-but got distracted by that thing called "Work" -damn inconvenient that.
I have never been in Hooters (or MacDonalds, come to that) but do see the football fans milling around outside on the trip from the station to the City Ground. I should imagine it is a very desolate place on the typically mentioned "Tuesday night in February".
I mentioned the Hotels, because earlier on in the thread (page one) there was something of a running joke that a posters Husband went in there because it was "near the hotel". I merely pointed out that it was, in fact, very very near to 3 Hotels.
You listed several other restaurants that were on offer, but, none of them are less than 400 yards from Hooters. In fact, from the reception area of Jury's Inn you can directly see Hooters.
I agree that Memsaab is a fantastic restaurant, but I wasn't offering a Tripadvisor post about restaurants in Nottingham, just pointing out that the posters Husband could have been right about it "being near the Hotel..."
Ah well, my attempt at humour fell incredibly flat... so I won't be giving up my day job anytime soon.
