Albert's - Goldsmith Street - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - Pubs and Inns on Waymarking.com

Albert's (formerly Spanky Van Dyke's, Speakeasy), on Goldsmith Street, Nottingham. Named after Albert Einstein, who visited the University in 1930, the re-brand includes a striking new logo of the theoretical physicist poking his tongue out.

I am not sure what the window with the structure of Resveratrol (5-[(1E)-2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1,3-benzenediol) has to do with Einstein, there is no good evidence that consuming resveratrol affects life expectancy or human health. Possibly a vague reference to its presence in wine and grape juice? Besides, on a sunny day they will have to re-draw it as cis-resveratrol (Ed. sorry, inner geek!)

"Re-branded in September 2018. Two floored bar close to the Theatre Royal, Rock City and Nottingham Trent University. Popular with all ages for its relaxed atmosphere during the day and trendy bar-like feel in evenings. Industrial ventilation piping runs throughout. The upper floor is open all day.

Historic Interest

At one time, Albert's has been called the Tivoli Rock Cafe, the Fair and Firkin, Speakeasy and Spanky Van Dykes. It started life in 1910 as an early cinema, Pringle's Picture Palace. Originally owned by Ralph Pringle, one of the pioneers of British commercial cinema in the early 20th century. Pringle sold it before the start of World War I, when it became Goldsmith's Picture House. During WWII it became the Little Theatre showing rep and then in 1948 it became the Playhouse Theatre until 1963, after which it became a carpet shop (McGrath 2015)."
