HISTORICAL FACTS: Crackdown on admission as new nottingham skybar launches | History Defined

The sky's the limit for Nottingham's newest bar with Instagrammable decor, rooftop partying... and a ball pit in the ladies. Skybar has replaced Alto at leisure complex The Cornerhouse, which closed under a cloud.

The roof-top venue had been partly owned by boxing legend Carl Froch but he stepped away as Alto's reputation went downhill and eventually sold his shares. It has now changed hands and the new owners are the team behind Nottingham's Groovebox Festival.

After the bar - on the second floor of the complex - closed down it underwent a refurbishment to wipe the slate clean and erase all memory of Alto. The decor has gone from white to turquoise with quartz-effect panelling and a stunning new dance floor. The ladies toilets, branded grimy and disgusting, have been replaced by shiny new ones... with the added attraction of a ball pit and chaise lounge for all those Instagram shots.
