Ocean (Nottingham)

Ocean, formerly the Astoria, is a nightclub located on Greyfriar Gate in Nottingham, England.

The building opened as a palais de danse to replace Victoria Halls in Talbot Street.

It was known as Greyfriars Hall and was opened by the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Walter Wessen, on 8 October 1929.
