The Alexandra Tavern in Norwich

Ah, The Alexandra Tavern – it's one of those gems in Norwich that just feels like a second home, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this brilliant old-style charm with a fantastic range of beers on tap, and they're spot on with keeping them fresh and tasty. The food's another highlight; folks are raving about dishes like the chestnut sofrito and those warming casseroles, which sound like proper comfort grub without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is just lovely – it's welcoming and easy-going, perfect for nipping in for a quiet drink or striking up a conversation with the regulars. Service-wise, the staff come across as genuinely friendly and helpful, which always makes a big difference on a night out. On the flip side, though, the website's a bit of a letdown; it didn't load for me, so you might struggle to check menus or events online. It's very much a local haunt, which is great if you're in the area, but could feel a bit cliquey if you're just passing through. And with last orders at 11 PM, it's not the place for those epic late sessions. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening – I'd say give it a go if you're after good value and a friendly buzz, but keep in mind it might not suit everyone for a bigger night out.
