The Ernehale in Arnold will reopen later this month after its new operator revealed the date customers will finally be welcomed back.
The former Wetherspoons pub will reopen its doors on November 21, following a difficult run-up to the relaunch which has included three break-ins.
Jamie Thomas, who operates The Whitemoor on Nuthall Road in Nottingham, has taken over the Arnold pub after it was put up for sale earlier this year.
The decision to put the popular pub on the market had surprised regulars, who said at the time that the venue was always busy.
Now its new operator has confirmed customers will be able to return later this month.
Announcing the reopening date, Jamie said: “After three break-ins, countless hurdles and more challenges than we ever expected, we’re so excited to finally announce that we will be opening on November 21.”
“It’s been a tough journey, but we’ve never given up. We’ve picked ourselves up, pushed through and kept going.”
The team also thanked people in the area who had offered their support while preparations to reopen the pub continued.
Jamie added: “A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us, sent messages, checked in and stuck by us.
“Our community means the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you all back!
“We’ve been knocked down, but we’re coming back bigger, better and stronger than ever!”
The announcement ended by telling customers to “save the date” and “spread the word”.
Jamie added: “21st November, we’re back!
“Here’s to new beginnings!”
Locals say they hope reopening will mark a new chapter for the Arnold pub following months of uncertainty over its future.
