11th and Social Cocktail Bar in Norwich

9-11 Upper King St, Norwich NR3 1RB

About This Pub

Ah, 11th and Social, what a gem in the heart of Norwich! I've got to say, from what I've seen, it's one of those places that really nails the good times with its focus on seasonal and classic cocktails that are as tasty as they are inventive – think whiskey with fig liqueur or a zesty daiquiri twist that leaves you wanting more. The team there are just lovely; they're all about that exceptional service, chatting away with recommendations and making sure everyone feels looked after, whether it's for a birthday bash or a casual catch-up. That happy hour deal is a real winner too, getting you quality drinks at a steal, which adds to the fun without the guilt. On the flip side, though, it's worth noting that the prices can climb a bit once happy hour ends, and if you're in the mood for something more than just drinks, you might need to head elsewhere since it's cocktails all the way. Plus, with it opening later and potentially getting packed, it might not be everyone's cup of tea for a quiet evening. All in all, it's a brilliant spot for when you're up for some proper vibes and great company, but just keep those little niggles in mind to set your expectations right.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The cocktails are absolutely spot on – creative, seasonal classics like the Figgy With It or Breakfast at Tiffany's that are packed with flavour and made with real care.
The staff are an absolute delight; they're friendly, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to make your visit memorable, just like in those glowing reviews from folks like Alexander and Joy.
Fantastic atmosphere with good vibes and banging tunes, perfect for a catch-up with mates or celebrating a special occasion.
They've got a brilliant happy hour from 5-8pm every day, where you can snag cocktails for just £8 – makes it feel like a real treat without breaking the bank.
Smack in the centre of Norwich, so it's super convenient for a night out, and the late hours mean you can keep the fun going until the early hours.

Cons

Drinks can be a tad pricey outside happy hour, with some cocktails pushing up to £11.50, which might add up if you're planning a long evening.
It's very much focused on cocktails, so if you're after a proper meal or some hearty pub grub, you might find yourself a bit disappointed – it's drinks all the way.
The place doesn't kick off until the evening, typically around 5 or 6pm, so it might not suit if you're looking for somewhere to pop in earlier in the day.
It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, which might mean a wait for a table or that cosy spot you were hoping for.

Jodie on the top bar was amazing great cocktail recommendations. We went for a friends birthday and she took such good care of us, funny, knowledgable and professional.

I was served Mia and rob and both were absolutely delightful and very respectful.. service was served with a smile and nothing but good vibes. It was my first time here and due to Mia and rob I will definitely be back. Thank you both so so much. Keep doing what you both are doing.

Ethan was one of the highlights of our night. From the moment we arrived at the bar, he was friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable right away. He has that rare mix of calm confidence and subtle charm that instantly puts people at ease. His cocktails were genuinely great – balanced, well-made, and served with care. We especially appreciated his recommendations; it’s clear he knows his craft and enjoys it. Nothing felt rushed or forced, which made the experience even better. What stood out most was the way he handled the atmosphere — present and attentive without ever being too much. He created that perfect balance of fun and chill, and we both agreed the night wouldn’t have been the same without him. Thanks, Ethan – you’ve definitely earned two regulars next time we’re around.

Food rating is for drinks! We went to 11 socials on Sunday night and sat at the bar, the bartender (Brendan?) was top notch at customer interaction while making tasty cocktails, he made me proper Caipirinha like they would in Brazil and it was so nice to watch
