Opened back in 1999, The Spanish Bar has been at the heart of the town for over two decades, welcoming generations of locals and visitors alike. What started as a small neighbourhood pub quickly grew into a much-loved meeting place where everyone feels at home - the kind of spot where the staff know your name and the regulars greet you like an old friend.

Over the years, The Spanish has hosted countless live music nights, charity fundraisers, birthday celebrations, and of course, plenty of big sporting moments on the big screens. We’ve seen friendships made, pints shared, and unforgettable nights that have become part of Ilkeston’s story.

Our secret? We keep it simple - great drinks, great people, and great times. From a perfectly poured pint to the buzz of a Saturday night, we take pride in creating a space where everyone feels welcome.

A true Ilkeston original, The Spanish Bar continues to bring people together - one pint, one laugh, and one night out at a time.
