About This Pub

Ah, The Lacon Arms in Great Yarmouth – what a lovely little spot it seems to be for a relaxed pint or a catch-up with mates. From the reviews, the staff really stand out as being warm and attentive, which always makes a big difference when you're settling in for the evening. They've got a solid range of beers and other drinks, and it's dead handy that it's dog-friendly, so you don't have to leave your pup at home. The entertainment options like live music and karaoke add a fun vibe, and with pool and darts on offer, it's easy to while away the hours. Plus, being inexpensive means you can pop in without breaking the bank. On the downside, it does sound like it can be a bit empty sometimes, which might make the place feel a tad subdued if you're hoping for a lively atmosphere – one chap even mentioned it was a shame no one was around on his visit. Still, with an overall rating of 4.1, it's clear most folks have had a cracking time, and I'd say it's worth giving it a go for a cosy night out, especially if you're in the area and fancy supporting a local gem.

Pros and Cons

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, wines, and spirits, so there's something for everyone.
  • It's wonderfully dog-friendly, which is brilliant if you're popping in with your four-legged mate.
  • Loads of entertainment on offer, like live music, karaoke, pool, and darts – perfect for a lively night.
  • The prices are really affordable, so you can enjoy a good time without worrying about the bill.
  • It's got a cosy atmosphere that's great for special occasions, like they pulled out all the stops for a wake in one review.
Cons
  • It can feel a bit quiet at times, as one person noted there was hardly anyone there, which might not be ideal if you're after a buzzing crowd.
  • No website to speak of, so it's a tad tricky to get the latest info or check things out online before you go.
