Welcome to Nottinghams Restaurant

Although nearly brand-new, Nottinghams has a rich history. In this location stood the Robinhood Inn in the 1960s, Friar Tuck's in the 1970s, the Rusty Anchor in the 1980s, and Mongolian Palace in the 1990s. Let us take you on a tour of our historic surroundings and unique antiques.

Residing outside our entrance, weather permitting, is the 1918 Great White Touring Bus. It was first used as public transportation in Yosemite and then relocated to the Union Hotel in Los Alamos, Ca. where it resided for the last 35 years.

As you enter, you'll pass the Nottingham Room, a cozy dining area. The hostess station, originally built in 1890, was used as the entrance to a reported gangster's house in New Jersey. A revolving door set, once part of Marshall Fields in New York, has been used in parts to create a circular divide. A 1920 North Tonawanda "146" Band Organ, presumably the most original and pristine of its kind, was housed in a skating rink in Up-state New York for 50 years. It took 5 years to rebuild, was played once, broke, and in disgust, was encased in redwood and put outside for 20 years.

Continue straight-ahead to Little John's Pub, our family dining room. The back bar, from Pahrump, Nevada, was originally in a diner that was later converted to a brothel. The front bar is from Chicago. The 1930s canoe was discovered in an old building in Fawnskin in the 1980s and is thought to have been in Big Bear all its life. The Coinola CX-Plus Nickelodeon came from Hawaii, reportedly owned by Don Ho.

Ascending up a replica of a 1920s Greene and Greene designed Bolton house stairway, you enter the upstairs portion of Nottinghams. On your left, is the Sherwood Room, a banquet and conference area and, on your right, is Friar Tuck's Tavern, our main lounge and entertainment area. The back bar is from a Prohibition-era cabaret on Rush Street in Chicago. The Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox, or "Bubbler", is new but offers 1500 CD selections.

As you look around you may also notice numerous Craftsman-era doors, reproduced in various designs.

The Nottinghams staff hopes you enjoy your time with us. Nottinghams offers the best California Cuisine in the Big Bear Valley. The selection of wines, spirits, and beers, along with the carefully selected ingredients for your menu choices, will exceed everyone's expectations.
