About This Pub
Ah, Bar 20 & Rooftop Terrace – it's one of those places that really pulls you in with its charm, especially if you're after a spot with a fabulous sea view and a relaxed, modern feel. I've got to say, the rooftop terrace is an absolute winner; it's ideal for unwinding with friends over a drink, and the staff are just top-notch, always ready with a smile and willing to go the extra mile, like putting on the F1 for eager fans. Prices are fair too, and little touches like the games available make it feel like a proper gem in the area. On the flip side, though, it's a bit gutting that the cocktails aren't made fresh – some have complained they're just poured from cheap bottles, which takes the shine off what could be a standout feature. Overall, if you're in Lowestoft and fancy a chilled-out vibe with friendly service, it's worth a visit, but maybe stick to the simpler drinks to avoid any disappointments. It's got that 4.1 rating for a reason – plenty of good moments, just with a few areas that could do with a tweak.

Lovely view, we had high hopes to enjoy some cocktails there, but sadly they were just from small jars from fridge(we saw lady pooring them) we had coffie martini and strawberry daqiri. It was terrible 😢
We would love to come back if the coctails were made appropriately. Sorry to leave a bad review, but this is to hope that some good changes can be made. #lovelowerstoft
The staff and the atmosphere were great. Our biggest disappointment was when we ordered 2 cocktails. They have a lovely cocktail menu with detailed description. The shock came when we saw all the cocktails were coming from cheap store bought bottles, I wouldn't even call them cocktails since they are just some simple non alcoholic juice that you can buy in Lidl. Very disappointed and we never saw anything like it before.
Loved this bar, we asked if we could watch the F1 instead of the Olympics as my daughter has become an avid fan, and to our surprise they put it on and made her day. It has a Fantastic roof top terrace and drinks are reasonably priced too. If we were to move to lowestoft, this would defo have to be our local, staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Highly recommend.

A quiet but very friendly bar. The atmosphere was brilliant with a modern theme with a lovely sea view and comfortable seating. The bar staff were very friendly and happy to have a chat with us whilst we enjoyed our drinks. I love the games which they have on offer. A hidden gem in my books. I hope to return soon when I’m next in Lowestoft 🙂
