Ole Frank Public House in Lowestoft

Ah, Ole Frank Public House – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's got this lovely cosy vibe with all that mix-and-match furniture and an old upright piano that could spark a singalong any minute. The drinks are spot on too, especially the Guinness at a decent price, which is always a treat when you're out for a casual evening. And the landlord really shines; folks rave about how he makes everyone feel right at home, whether you're there for a quiet pint or hosting something bigger like a birthday bash or even watching the footy. It's got a great function room for events, and that spacious car park is a godsend on busy nights. On the downside, it can come across as a tad dingy in spots, which might not suit those after something more polished, and there've been a few moans about people vaping indoors, which does take away from the charm a bit. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a genuine, unpretentious spot to meet mates – just go in with realistic expectations, and you'll likely have a cracking time.
