The Thirsty crow taproom in Great Yarmouth

Ah, The Thirsty Crow Taproom – what a delightful find it is, tucked away in Gorleston-on-Sea. From chatting about the reviews, it's clear this place knows how to do things right; the selection of craft beers and ciders is spot on, with folks raving about everything from refreshing pineapple cider to a solid range of ales that keep you coming back for more. The staff are an absolute treat, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after, which really makes the whole experience feel personal and enjoyable. Then there's the live music, which adds that extra spark and turns a simple visit into a memorable night. On the flip side, though, the decor is a bit of an acquired taste – all those eccentric paintings and knick-knacks could be seen as endearingly quirky or just a tad overwhelming, depending on your mood. Plus, with it only being open five days a week, you might have to juggle your plans a bit. All in all, it's a solid spot for a pint with mates, and while it's not without its little quirks, the positives far outweigh any minor niggles, making it well worth a try if you're in the area.
