About This Pub

Oh, let me tell you about The Kraken Bar – it's one of those delightful spots in Lowestoft that you stumble upon and think, 'Why didn't I know about this sooner?' From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are just brilliant, always on hand with a smile and that superb service that makes you feel welcome from the get-go. The drinks are a real highlight too; they've got this innovative range including flavoured Kraken rum and other surprises that keep things fresh and fun. And on Sundays, with the 80s tunes and live music playing, it's the perfect place for a laid-back afternoon or evening with friends. But, fair's fair, it's not without its downsides – being open only on Sundays from 1pm to 10pm means it's not ideal if you're after a spontaneous night out during the week. Plus, it's a bit of a hidden gem, which is charming but can make it hard to locate, and the small space might not suit everyone if it gets busy. All in all, if you're in the area and fancy something a bit different, I'd say give it a go – it's got that warm, welcoming feel that makes for a memorable visit, as long as you plan ahead.

Great little underground bar off the esplanade. 80s music and a great range of drinks, including of course Krakem rum, in several flavours.
