The Strangers Tavern in Norwich

Ah, The Strangers Tavern – it's one of those places that really pulls you in with its charm, isn't it? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the beer selection is just brilliant; they've got all sorts of ales and IPAs that make you feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden gem, plus a good nod to whiskeys and niche ciders for those who fancy something different. The staff are the real stars here, always chipping in with kind words and generous service that makes the whole experience feel welcoming and personal. And let's not forget the atmosphere – it's got that perfect pub vibe with a solid playlist humming in the background, ideal for a casual catch-up with mates on a sunny afternoon. On the flip side, though, it's not without its quirks; the opening times can be a tad erratic compared to other spots, which might catch you out if you're popping by on a whim. Plus, there have been times when they've been out of key drinks like ales, which is a bit of a letdown, especially if you're on something like an ale trail. And while it's great for a pint or two, there's no food to speak of, so it might not be the full package for a longer session. All in all, with such a strong rating overall, it's definitely worth a go if you're in Norwich – just keep those little niggles in mind for a smoother visit!
