The Drifter in Lowestoft

Ah, The Drifter – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a breath of fresh air when you walk in. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are absolute gems; they're not just serving drinks, they're chatting away and making sure everyone feels included, which is just what you want after a long day. The beer selection is spot on, and folks have mentioned it's reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a few rounds without worrying about the wallet. Plus, there's a great setup with a pool table, telly for catching the footie, and a duke box blasting out a mix of tunes that keeps the energy up – it's perfect for a laugh with friends or even if you're popping in solo. On the flip side, their website's a bit of a mess with errors, so it's not straightforward to get the lowdown online, and since the business isn't claimed, it might not be as actively managed as some others, meaning you could run into outdated info. Overall, though, it's got that warm, community feel that's hard to beat, and with a solid 4.3 rating, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in Lowestoft – just keep an eye on those opening times to avoid any surprises!
