Boom Battle Bar Norwich

Verified
4.8(1707 reviews)
96/100
Boom Battle Bar in Norwich is a cracking place for a lively outing, with friendly staff and heaps of games that make for memorable times, though it's not without the odd hiccup.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – they're super helpful and really make the games come alive, like Erin and Adam who turned our axe throwing into a proper laugh.
  • Loads of fun activities on offer, from axe throwing and mini golf to cocktails and brunches, making it a top spot for groups, dates, or just a cheeky night out.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, with a great vibe that's safe, energetic, and perfect for throwing it back to nostalgic tunes while enjoying yummy drinks.
  • It's well-suited for all sorts of occasions, whether it's a birthday bash, a corporate do, or even a student night – everyone seems to have a whale of a time.
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasionally, some parts of the games might not be fully up and running, like a hole in the mini golf that was out of action, which can put a slight dampener on things.
  • It might feel a bit pricey if you're just popping in for a quick game, as it's geared towards experiences that could add up, especially with drinks and activities combined.

The Brewery Tap

4.8(943 reviews)
96/100
The Brewery Tap is a cracking little pub in Norwich, boasting an incredible range of beers and tasty loaded chips, with a welcoming vibe that makes it a go-to spot for a relaxed pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely fantastic – it's like a never-ending beer festival with loads of craft beers, ciders, and perries to choose from, perfect for anyone who loves exploring new brews.
  • The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable, always ready with a tip on what to try, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food hits the spot, especially those loaded chips with all sorts of delicious toppings; it's simple but spot-on for a quick bite alongside your pint.
  • It's super family and dog-friendly, with kids welcome inside until 7pm and in the beer garden until 9pm, plus plenty of space for furry friends.
  • The outdoor seating area is a winner, complete with heaters for those chillier evenings, and there's loads of room inside too for a cosy chat.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website's a bit underwhelming at the moment – it's mostly just saying they're working on a new look, so you might not get much info before visiting.
  • The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent from what's listed, which could catch you out if you're planning a trip, like varying closing times on Sundays.
  • Food options are fairly limited to things like chips and burgers, so if you're after a full meal, it might not quite hit the mark every time.
  • A couple of reviews mentioned minor service hiccups, like items not being ready when expected, which could mean waits on busier days.

The Malt and Mardle is a charming micro pub in Norwich that's all about cracking beers, a cosy vibe, and top-notch service – a real gem for a laid-back evening.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – always something new and exciting on tap, with tasters available to help you choose.
  • It's such a cosy spot, perfect for a relaxed chat with mates in a welcoming environment.
  • The staff are really helpful and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • That glass door to the cellar is a neat touch; it's fascinating to see how the beers are stored and adds to the charm.
  • They've got some tasty extras like those chorizo sausage rolls, which make it more than just a place for a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can be a bit limited, mostly evenings and only five days a week, so it might not suit everyone’s schedule.
  • Being a micro pub, space is tight, and it could get a tad crowded on busier nights.
  • There's no phone number listed, which makes it tricky if you need to check something quickly before heading over.

Verified
4.8(103 reviews)
94/100
11th and Social is a cracking little cocktail bar in Norwich, where the drinks are top drawer and the service is warm and welcoming – ideal for a lively night with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely spot on – creative, seasonal classics like the Figgy With It or Breakfast at Tiffany's that are packed with flavour and made with real care.
  • The staff are an absolute delight; they're friendly, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to make your visit memorable, just like in those glowing reviews from folks like Alexander and Joy.
  • Fantastic atmosphere with good vibes and banging tunes, perfect for a catch-up with mates or celebrating a special occasion.
  • They've got a brilliant happy hour from 5-8pm every day, where you can snag cocktails for just £8 – makes it feel like a real treat without breaking the bank.
  • Smack in the centre of Norwich, so it's super convenient for a night out, and the late hours mean you can keep the fun going until the early hours.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a tad pricey outside happy hour, with some cocktails pushing up to £11.50, which might add up if you're planning a long evening.
  • It's very much focused on cocktails, so if you're after a proper meal or some hearty pub grub, you might find yourself a bit disappointed – it's drinks all the way.
  • The place doesn't kick off until the evening, typically around 5 or 6pm, so it might not suit if you're looking for somewhere to pop in earlier in the day.
  • It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, which might mean a wait for a table or that cosy spot you were hoping for.

The Alexandra Tavern is a cracking little pub in Norwich, offering great beers, tasty grub, and a warm, chatty vibe that makes you want to pop in for a pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is brilliant – especially those hand-pumped bitters, which are always well-kept and full of flavour.
  • The food hits the spot; think delicious options like chestnut sofrito or a hearty Spanish-style casserole, all served with a smile.
  • It's got that classic, welcoming atmosphere where you can easily chat with friendly locals or just relax with a pint.
  • The staff are top-notch, making everyone feel right at home with their patient and attentive service.
  • Outdoor seating is a lovely touch, particularly in the summer when it gets buzzing and adds to the community feel.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website's a bit unreliable – it timed out on me, so it's not the easiest place to get more info online.
  • As a proper local spot, it might feel a tad exclusive if you're not a regular, keeping things more for the neighbourhood crowd.
  • It closes at 11 PM, which is a bit early if you're after a late-night session.

First Draft Bar & Kitchen in Norwich is a gem for anyone after cracking cocktails and a warm, inclusive vibe – it's got that perfect mix of great drinks, tasty food, and friendly service that makes for a memorable evening.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely spot-on – they've got a fantastic selection, including some brilliant non-alcoholic options and even CBD-infused drinks that really hit the mark for something a bit different.
  • The atmosphere is so welcoming and inclusive; it's a proper friendly neighbourhood spot with great vibes, local art on the walls, and even board games to keep things fun and relaxed.
  • Service is top-notch – the staff are attentive, quick, and really make you feel at home, which is perfect for a night out with mates.
  • Food options are a real highlight, especially with their rotating guest chefs serving up exciting, flavoursome dishes like vegan samosas that folks rave about.
  • It's reasonably priced for the quality, and the events and pop-ups add a nice touch of variety to keep things fresh.
Areas for Improvement
  • Operating hours are a bit limited, mostly evenings from 5pm onwards, so it might not suit those looking for a daytime pint or a spontaneous lunch.
  • As a cocktail-focused bar, it might not have the traditional pub feel for beer lovers – the selection is more about wines and fancy drinks than a wide range of ales.
  • With no phone number listed, it's tricky to get in touch quickly if you need to check on availability or make enquiries.
  • It seems to be closed one day a week, which could be a downside if you're planning a visit and it happens to be that day.

The Wallow is a charming self-service wine bar in Norwich that's all about fun, flavour, and good vibes – ideal for a relaxed evening of wine tasting and sharing tasty platters with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The self-service wine dispensers are an absolute blast – you can sample loads of different wines before committing to a full glass, making it perfect for exploring new favourites.
  • They've got a cracking selection of wines from all over the world, hand-picked by the team, and it's all available by taster, glass, or bottle, which feels really accessible.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, always on hand to guide you through the process without being overbearing, and they've got some lovely touches like complimentary drinks for special occasions.
  • Happy Hour on Wednesdays is a winner, with 25% off wines if you've got a Wallow card – great for a mid-week treat – and the food platters, like the Wallow Board, are delicious and generously portioned.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might feel a tad gimmicky for those who prefer traditional table service, as the self-service system isn't everyone's cup of tea, though you can still opt for help if you like.
  • The downstairs area is cosy and romantic, but it could get a bit snug if it's busy, so you might not always snag a spot for a more private gathering.

Areas for Improvement

  • Prices are moderate, but if the food doesn't quite live up to expectations, it might feel a tad steep for what you get.

The Kings Head in Norwich is a cracking little real ale haven – think top-notch beers, a snug atmosphere, and that classic pub charm that'll have you coming back for more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of real ales and ciders – up to 14 on hand-pump from local East Anglian breweries, making it a real treat for beer enthusiasts.
  • Warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a cosy, traditional feel that makes you feel right at home, perfect for a good chat and some friendly banter.
  • Friendly staff and a lively vibe, as mentioned in the reviews – it's that kind of place where you get a proper welcome and might even spot a bar billiards table for a bit of fun.
  • Inexpensive prices, so you can enjoy a session without breaking the bank, and it's open seven days a week from noon till late.
Areas for Improvement
  • No proper food on offer, just crisps and nuts, which might leave you a bit peckish if you're after a full meal rather than just drinks.
  • It has a very traditional setup, which is charming but could feel a tad outdated for those who prefer more modern or trendy spots.
  • The location in the heart of Norwich is handy, but if you're not local, it might not stand out as easily among the city's other pubs, and the inconsistent Sunday hours could catch you out.

The Plasterers Arms is a gem in Norwich for beer enthusiasts and pizza lovers, boasting a cracking atmosphere and friendly service, though it's not quite as lively as it once was.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they focus on exciting craft beers that change daily, with plenty of pales, ambers, and even sneaky experimental flavours if you ask.
  • Their pizzas are a real treat, with a great variety including tasty vegan and vegetarian options, all served with a nice thin crust that hits the spot.
  • It's got a cosy, welcoming atmosphere that feels a bit like a countryside escape in the heart of Norwich, perfect for a relaxed pint or catching sports on the telly.
  • The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, always happy to let you try a beer before committing, which makes the whole experience feel personal and fun.
  • They've got options for everyone, like alcohol-free beers and a kid-friendly policy before 8pm, plus dogs are welcome, making it a versatile spot for different groups.
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems like the beer variety has taken a hit lately, with only one cask on offer now compared to the old days of 8-10, which might disappoint those after a wider choice.
  • Some of the keg beers come across as overpriced, especially if you're used to more budget-friendly options elsewhere.
  • The vibe can feel a bit quiet or even lacklustre at times, particularly on Sundays, where it might not live up to its buzzing past and could give off a 'winding down' energy.
  • There might be some confusion around opening hours or the pub's future, as a few folks have mentioned it looking like it could be on its last legs, which is a shame.

The Duke of Wellington is a cracking traditional pub in Norwich, boasting top-notch real ales, a friendly crowd, and a cosy spot that's become a real favourite for weekend get-togethers.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of real ales is absolutely fantastic – it's got a huge range that's perfect for any beer enthusiast, and it's even listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a lovely community vibe with really nice locals, which makes for a warm and sociable atmosphere.
  • There's an amazing outside terrace with plenty of seating, and it's dog-friendly too, so you can bring your furry friend along.
  • Prices are surprisingly decent, especially for the quality, making it a great spot without breaking the bank.
  • The pub is mostly wheelchair accessible, including the bar, which is a thoughtful touch for everyone.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food options are pretty limited, mainly just snacks, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere.
  • There's no website listed, which makes it a bit tricky to check out menus or events online before you go.
  • It's only about 90% wheelchair accessible, so there might be a few areas that aren't quite as easy to navigate.

The Rosebery is a charming Norwich pub that's all about hearty food, warm hospitality, and a cosy feel – a real hidden gem with top-notch vibes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on, especially the roasts which are juicy, full of flavour, and made with local ingredients – a real treat for a Sunday lunch.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, even when it's packed, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a cosy, welcoming atmosphere with a wood burner and even a resident cat named Andy, perfect for those chilly evenings in Norwich.
  • A great selection of cask ales and an excellent wine list, so there's something for everyone whether you're after a pint or a glass with your meal.
  • With such high ratings and glowing feedback, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a memorable pub experience that keeps people coming back.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit out of the way from the city centre, tucked into a quiet network of terraced houses, which might mean a longer walk or taxi ride if you're not local.
  • The menu is on the small side, though it's varied and focuses on quality local items, so you might not find a huge range of options if you're feeling indecisive.
  • It can get quite loud at times, which adds to the lively vibe but might make it tricky for a relaxed chat over drinks on busier days.

Areas for Improvement

The Cottage NR3 is a charming traditional pub in Norwich that's all about hearty food, a relaxed vibe, and being welcoming to everyone, including your four-legged friends – though do mind the seasonal menu quirks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot on – especially those Sunday roasts, which folks rave about for being generous, perfectly cooked, and just downright tasty.
  • It's a proper welcoming spot with friendly staff who make you feel right at home, adding a lovely touch to the whole experience.
  • Being dog-friendly is a real winner; it's great to pop in with your furry mate and not worry about a thing.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from a wide range of beers and wines to some standout cocktails that keep things exciting.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for a traditional pub, with a nice garden out the back for when the weather's playing ball.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can be a bit confusing with varying times listed, so it's worth double-checking before you head out to avoid any disappointment.
  • It's a shame they don't serve the Sunday roast during the summer months, which might leave you wanting that hearty meal on a sunny day.
  • With the pub sometimes closing a bit early, like around 10 or 11 pm, it might not be the best for a late-night gathering.

The Plough in Norwich is a cracking little pub with fantastic beer, cheerful service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it well worth a visit for anyone in the area.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is spot on, with a great range of Grain Brewery options on both cask and keg – perfect for a proper pint lover like me.
  • The staff are an absolute delight; think friendly barman with a sense of humour that'll have you chuckling over your drink.
  • Prices are really reasonable, making it easy on the wallet without skimping on quality – you get good value for your money.
  • The interior is lovely and cosy, and don't miss the back garden terrace; it's immaculately clean, calm, and just the spot for a relaxing afternoon.
  • It's pet-friendly, which is brilliant if you're out with your furry mate, and the location in Norwich is super convenient, especially if you're hopping on a bus or taxi.
Areas for Improvement
  • Parking can be a bit tricky around there, so you might end up walking a short way or opting for public transport.
  • Service is generally good, but from what I've heard, it might need a tad more polishing compared to some other spots – though it's early days and they're likely to sort it out.
  • There's no website listed, which is a shame as it makes it harder to check out menus or events in advance.

Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some mix-ups with the food service, like confusion over who caters it, which led to a disappointing experience for some folks.
  • Food availability seems inconsistent, with Sunday lunches not always living up to expectations, so it might not be the most reliable choice for a bite.
  • No one under 18 after 9 PM could be a downside if you're planning a family outing that runs late.
  • While the pub's generally buzzing, there aren't any upcoming events listed, which might make it feel a bit quiet if you're after more lively entertainment.

  • Being dog-friendly is a real bonus, so you can bring your four-legged mate along without any fuss.
Areas for Improvement

90/100
The Whalebone is a cracking little pub in Norwich with friendly vibes, great ales, and lively events, but watch out for the crowds and lack of on-site grub.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly helpful and go the extra mile, like topping up your pint without you even asking—always makes you feel looked after.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of local Norfolk ales that are just spot on for a proper pub experience.
  • There's plenty of outside seating, which is perfect for a sunny day or when things get a bit lively inside.
  • Live music on Saturday nights adds a real buzz, making it a fun spot for a night out.
  • The function room is a great little space for small gatherings or parties, and it's well set up for that.
Areas for Improvement
  • They don't serve food on site, so you might end up ordering from Deliveroo, which isn't ideal if you're after a full meal out.
  • The bar can get pretty crowded and feels a tad cramped due to the building's design, especially during busy times.
  • It might not suit everyone if you're looking for a quiet spot, as the atmosphere can ramp up with events and music.

The Strangers Tavern is a cracking little spot in Norwich with top beers and a warm welcome, but watch out for those inconsistent hours and stock issues.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of ales, IPAs, and even some unusual ones that make it stand out from the crowd.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and a good recommendation to make your visit more enjoyable.
  • It's got a lovely atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or evening, with great music playing and a nice street-side spot to soak in the vibes.
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening hours can be a bit unpredictable and limited, which might leave you disappointed if you're planning a visit on a quiet day.
  • Stock isn't always reliable – like running out of ales when you'd expect them, especially if it's meant to be a key feature.
  • No food on offer, so it's really just about the drinks, which might not suit everyone looking for a full pub experience.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of real ales is top-notch, with options like Bateman’s XB that are fresh and full of flavour – perfect for ale enthusiasts.
  • They've got a cracking atmosphere with live music, acoustic evenings, and karaoke, making it a fun spot for a night out with friends.
  • The homemade pub food is generous and tasty, offering great value, especially if you're after classic dishes without breaking the bank.
  • Friendly service from the staff who make you feel right at home, whether you're popping in for a quick pint or staying for the evening.
  • Lovely location just outside the city centre, with sunny outdoor seating for warmer days and a cosy log fire for those chilly winter nights.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food is only available Wednesday to Saturday with limited hours, so if you're after a meal on a Sunday, you might be out of luck.
  • It can get quite lively during events and happy hour, which is brilliant for some but might feel a bit overwhelming if you're after a peaceful pint.
  • The pub's traditional setup means it might not have the latest mod cons, so if you're expecting something ultra-modern, it could disappoint.

  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers, from creative craft brews to real ales, and it's clear they know their stuff when it comes to serving up a proper pint.
  • The food is a real treat; their stone-baked pizzas and build-your-own cheeseboards are spot on, with generous portions and flavours that hit the mark every time.

  • The atmosphere is spot on for a good night out, with regular entertainment and events that make it feel like a proper community hub.
Areas for Improvement

  • With changes to hours for events or matches, it's worth checking ahead to avoid any surprises if you're planning a visit.
  • Being a smaller venue, it might get quite cosy during busier times, so if you prefer a quieter spot, you could find it a tad overwhelming on peak nights.

Louis Marchesi is a delightful traditional British pub in the heart of Norwich, offering a warm, historical setting with friendly service and great drinks, though it can get lively and has a few niggles like bar queues.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming, with its historical Grade II listed building that really transports you back in time – perfect for a cosy catch-up over drinks.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready with a smile and great recommendations on local ales, ciders, and gins.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, including rotating local real ales and some top-notch gins from Norfolk – it's a treat for anyone who loves exploring regional brews.
  • The food is spot on; proper quality pub grub served up by their chef, with options like fish or chicken dishes that hit the spot, especially if you're popping in for a meal.
  • It's a welcoming spot for events, with live music, bands, and even a roof terrace for sunny days, making it ideal for a lively night out or a relaxed gathering.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite noisy in the evenings, especially when crowds roll in, which might make it tough for a quiet chat – though that's part and parcel of a buzzing pub scene.
  • Some drinks, like the red wine mentioned in a review, might not always hit the mark, coming across as a bit off or unusual.
  • On busier nights, queues at the bar can build up, so you might end up waiting a while if they're short-staffed.
  • The toilets could use a bit more attention to keep everything up to scratch, as it's not always as clean as you'd hope.
  • The place has a mix of vibes depending on the time; it might feel more like a nightclub with live bands on weekends, which isn't everyone's cup of tea if you're after something mellow.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, including real ales and a good variety of keg options, perfect for a proper pint.
  • The homecooked meals are a real treat, especially those Sunday roasts – they're hearty, tasty, and great value for money.
  • It's got loads of fun amenities like pool tables, darts, and live sports, so there's always something to keep the evening buzzing.
  • The place is spacious with plenty of seating and a lovely beer garden, ideal for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy at times, which means you might have to wait a bit for service or a table, especially on Sundays.
  • Some dishes might miss a few extras, like the stuffing in the roast, so it's not always picture-perfect.
  • The pub isn't claimed by the owners online, which could mean things like updates or improvements might not happen as quickly as we'd hope.

The Coachmakers Arms is a delightful, historic pub in Norwich that's all about cracking ales, warm vibes, and affordable fun – a real gem for a relaxed catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of real ales, like Woodforde’s Wherry and guest beers from local breweries – perfect for a proper pint lover.
  • Prices are really reasonable, so you can enjoy a good drink or a bite without breaking the bank.
  • The atmosphere is lovely, with its historic 17th-century charm, a cosy beer garden for summer evenings, and even a big open fire for those chilly days.
  • When food's on offer, it's fresh and tasty, with generous portions that hit the spot, especially the classics like sausage and mash.
Areas for Improvement
  • The pub is on the smaller side, so it can get a bit snug during busy times – best to pop in early if you're after a table.
  • Food service is limited; it's not available on Sundays and only runs at certain times during the week, which might disappoint if you're peckish late on.
  • It can be surprisingly quiet at times, like on a Saturday night, so if you're after a lively buzz, it might not always deliver.

Areas for Improvement

  • The Yorkshire puddings and other bits might not always live up to expectations, leaving you wishing for a tad more polish on the plate.
  • Overall, the food has room for improvement in places, as it's been mentioned it could be better despite the generous servings.

  • A great selection of drinks, including proper real ales, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few instances where service wasn't up to scratch, like one chap mentioning being rudely shouted at by staff, which could put a dampener on your visit.

Areas for Improvement
  • On Sundays, some areas might be roped off, which can make the space feel a bit cramped if you're after more room to spread out.

The Eagle in Norwich is a welcoming local pub with smashing food and beers, a lovely garden, and a generally friendly vibe, though service can be hit or miss.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on, especially their Sunday roasts and BBQs – I've heard from mates that the belly pork and chicken are real winners, making it a top choice for a hearty meal.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers, being an independent freehouse and even making it into the Good Beer Guide, so you're in for some cracking local brews.
  • The beer garden is a proper gem, perfect for soaking up the sun or enjoying a relaxed evening with friends, and it's dog-friendly too, which is always a bonus if you're out with your furry mate.
  • Service is generally warm and efficient, with plenty of positive feedback on the friendly staff who make you feel right at home.
  • It's moderately priced, so you get good value without breaking the bank, and they've got a nice variety on the menu that changes with seasonal ingredients.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can sometimes feel a bit off, like in one instance where it was described as cold and not very personalised, which might leave you feeling a tad overlooked.
  • The food doesn't always hit the mark for everyone; a few folks have said it's just average compared to other pubs nearby, so it might not wow you every time.
  • You might have to get up and sort things yourself if you're after more drinks or extras during a meal, which can be a bit of a nuisance and spoil the flow.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is wonderfully cosy and welcoming, making it feel like a proper local spot that's been a Norwich favourite since 1836.
  • The food is an absolute treat – fresh, seasonal British dishes with European flair, like those melt-in-the-mouth sharing ribs and scrumptious haggis scotch eggs that everyone's raving about.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from pints of Guinness and great beers on tap to an interesting wine list that pairs nicely with the meals.
  • The service is spot on, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home, and it's a bonus that it's dog-friendly for those who like to bring their four-legged mates along.
  • The upstairs restaurant with its open kitchen adds a lovely touch, creating an intimate vibe that's perfect for a relaxed dinner or special occasion.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can feel a bit steep for the portions, like when you're sharing dishes for a meal that might not quite fill you up, especially if you're expecting better value.
  • It's situated by a busy road, which means the outside seating might be noisier than you'd hope, potentially disrupting that cosy feel on a summer evening.

  • Lovely atmosphere in a traditional setting, ideal for a relaxed chat or catching the footy on the telly without any distractions.
  • Plenty of space to enjoy, including a cosy conservatory and a beer garden that's great for a sunny afternoon or a smoke.
  • Strong community vibe, especially for Norwich City fans, making it feel like a real local haunt where everyone is welcome.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's quite traditional with no music, games, or machines, which might feel a bit quiet or old-fashioned if you're after a livelier night out.
  • Located a short walk from the city centre, so it could be a tad inconvenient if you're not keen on the stroll.
  • Food options seem straightforward and not the main draw, so if you're hoping for a full meal, you might need to keep expectations in check.

The Freemasons Arms is a cracking Norwich pub with a top beer selection and heaps of fun events, ideal for socialising, though watch out for the odd service slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of beers and ales – they reckon they've got the best in NR1, and from the reviews, it sounds spot on for a proper pint.
  • Lively atmosphere with regular events like quiz nights, live music, and sports on multiple TVs, making it a brilliant spot for catching up with mates or a date night.
  • Tasty food options, especially those loaded fries and hot dogs that you can customise – perfect for sharing or treating yourself, and they've got student deals too.
  • Friendly and welcoming staff, with a cosy, family-friendly vibe including a nice beer garden and even dog-friendly policies.
  • Great for watching football or enjoying board games in a chilled setting, plus perks like 2-4-1 Mondays and match day discounts for Norwich fans.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some feedback highlights occasional poor service, like one review mentioning a rude and unhelpful manager, which could really dampen an otherwise good visit.
  • Recent reviews show a bit of a mixed bag, with the average dipping to 3 out of 5, suggesting things might not be as consistent as they'd like.
  • It can get quite busy with events and sports, so if you're after a quiet, relaxed evening, it might not always hit the mark.

The Castle is a welcoming LGBT+ pub in Norwich with cosy rooms and a buzzing events scene, though it has a few niggles that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome.
  • The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with strong showers, en-suite facilities, and handy extras like tea, coffee, and a self-service continental breakfast.
  • It's surprisingly quiet for a spot next to a pub, making it a peaceful retreat even in a busy area.
  • As Norwich's longest-running LGBT+ venue, it offers a warm and inclusive atmosphere with fun events like happy hours, free pool, and speed bingo.
  • The value for money is spot on, with affordable stays and little touches like local bread that add a nice homely feel.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some rooms have had minor cleaning issues, like cobwebs, dead spiders, or stains, which can put a dampener on things.
  • The view from the windows might be of a roundabout, which isn't exactly scenic and could feel a bit underwhelming.
  • It's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so you might have to plan your visit around the opening hours if you're keen for a mid-week catch-up.

The Garnet is a charming historic pub in Norwich with a lively market vibe, friendly service, and great drinks, though it might get a tad snug inside.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a brilliant spot right in the heart of Norwich Market, making it ideal for a bit of people-watching while you sip your drink.
  • The historic building is full of character, with cosy nooks, creaky floors, and even a permanent exhibition of old Norwich photos – it's like stepping back in time.
  • Staff are warm and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
  • A great selection of local ales, wines, and spirits, plus an off-licence with curated options to take away or enjoy on site.
  • Dog-friendly, so you can pop in with your four-legged mate without any fuss.
  • Easy to get delicious pizza delivered from nearby and eat it there, adding a nice touch for a casual meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • The inside space is a bit on the small side, which can make it feel cramped when it's busy.
  • The selection of drinks on tap could do with more variety to really cater to different tastes.

  • It's in a brilliant spot in Norwich city centre, near car parks and surrounded by other bars, and they're open every day from 11am till midnight.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's walk-in only, so on busy nights like Saturdays, you might end up waiting for a table or a spot at the bar.
  • Food service wraps up at 9pm, which could leave you out of luck if you're fancying a late bite.
  • There's no phone number listed, which might make it a bit tricky if you need to check something quickly before heading over.

  • The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed catch-up with mates over a pint or a meal.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of food and drinks, including pub classics, vegan and vegetarian options, real ales, and even gluten-free choices to suit all tastes.

  • Service is generally spot-on, with friendly staff and options for online bookings or contactless payments that make popping in a breeze.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss, with some folks noting a lack of flavour under the new management, which is a bit disappointing for a local favourite.
  • Occasional slip-ups in service, like running out of popular dishes or getting orders wrong, might leave you wanting a smoother experience.
  • Portions are generous, but sometimes the sides, like veggies with a main, could do with a bit more thought to balance things out properly.

  • Some reviews mention it's not the cleanest, with stale smells and a general rundown feel that puts people off.
  • It can feel a tad empty at times, especially if you're hoping for a lively buzz, which might make it seem a bit flat.
  • There's a worry it might not be around for much longer, as a few have said it feels like it's on its last legs.
  • The food might be tasty, but if it's not up to scratch in the hygiene department, it's hard to overlook.

Looks like the place is about to shut down. Needs a boost of energy and a makeover. Wouldn't take much!? Great location.

The York is a charming Norwich pub with a welcoming vibe, top-notch drinks, and some stellar food moments, though it has its off days with the grub.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The York's got a brilliant spot in Norwich, making it super easy to pop in after a wander around the city.
  • That big beer garden is an absolute gem, perfect for soaking up the sun with a pint in hand.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers and spirits, so there's something to tickle everyone's fancy.
  • The food can be spot on, especially the Sunday roasts and deals like the Wednesday meal offer – think tender lamb and gorgeous mussels.
  • The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable, making you feel right at home, whether it's for a cosy meal or a lively party.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be a bit of inconsistency with the food; one mate mentioned it's not always up to scratch for classic pub grub, so you might end up heading elsewhere for that.
  • It's only open five days a week, which could be a downer if you're keen on a midweek visit and find it shut.

The Red Lion Bishopgate is a charming Norwich spot with a riverside vibe, top-notch food and service, and a lively feel – though it does get packed, so plan ahead for the best experience.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making you feel welcome and looked after.
  • The food and cocktails are absolutely fantastic – think delicious meals and drinks that hit the spot every time.
  • It's got a brilliant riverside location, perfect for enjoying a sunny day with stunning views.
  • The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a great buzz that makes it feel like a proper community spot.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get really busy, especially for things like brunch, so you'll probably need to book in advance to snag a table.
  • Some areas, like the conservatory, might feel a bit too warm on hotter days, which can make things uncomfortable.
  • It leans more towards being an eating house than a traditional pub, so if you're after a quiet pint, it might not quite fit the bill.

The Eaton Cottage is a welcoming Norwich local with cracking beer, friendly staff, and a variety of cosy nooks, though it's tucked away and has a no-frills vibe that won't appeal to all.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer is spot on and the service is always warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home.
  • It has that lovely old-school charm, like stepping back in time to a traditional British pub.
  • There's a great mix of spaces, from areas with big screens for watching the footie to cosy, quiet rooms for a more relaxed vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit out on the edges of the city, so it might not be the easiest spot to get to if you're coming from the centre.
  • The traditional feel could come across as a tad outdated for some, and it might not suit everyone for a fancy night out.
  • Without a website, it's not straightforward to look up details like the menu or any upcoming events.

The Murderers in Norwich is a cracking old pub that's won awards for sports viewing and boasts a superb selection of ales – it's a welcoming spot for a pint and a chat, though it does get busy.

What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of local ales and traditional options that make it a real treat for any ale enthusiast.
  • It's a brilliant spot for watching sports, having won awards for it, so if you're into live matches, you'll feel right at home with the lively atmosphere.

  • The food is top-notch, especially for buffets and meals, with plenty of hot and cold choices that have left folks raving about their experiences.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed, especially during busy times, so you might find space a bit tight if you're after a quiet corner.
  • The toilets are on the small side, which might not be ideal when things are heaving, though they're kept clean.
  • There are a few rules for bringing dogs, like keeping them on leads and not feeding them inside, which could be a minor hassle if your pup gets a bit lively.

The Glass House is a classic JD Wetherspoon pub in Norwich that's buzzing with affordable vibes and a welcoming crowd, though it's not without its occasional slip-ups in consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks are really affordable, which makes it a great spot for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
  • It's got a fantastic atmosphere when it gets busy, with a mixed crowd that keeps things lively and welcoming.
  • The pub has plenty of space, including a lovely outside seating area and a beer garden with options for smokers and non-smokers.
  • The staff are generally helpful and quick to sort out any issues, like offering refunds for dodgy food, which shows they care about a good experience.
  • The interior has a stylish, throwback vibe with clean tables and comfy seating, making it a comfortable place to relax with a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss – some meals turn out underwhelming, like tiny portions or dishes that aren't cooked properly.
  • It's a bit of a gamble sometimes; things can be inconsistently good or bad, so you never quite know what you're in for.
  • The place can get pretty crowded at peak times, which might make it harder to find a quiet spot or get served quickly.
  • While the drinks are cheap, that doesn't always translate to the food, and a few folks have mentioned disappointing experiences there.

The Queen of Iceni is a solid, budget-friendly Wetherspoons in Norwich with a lively evening vibe and handy location, but watch out for inconsistent service and the occasional slip in food quality.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a spacious and modern Wetherspoons with plenty of seating inside, outside, and even upstairs, making it easy to find a spot for a group.
  • The location is spot on – just a short walk from the station and near the Waterfront Club, perfect for a quick stop after arriving or before heading out.
  • Evenings bring a fun vibe with disco lights and tunes, which really livens things up and makes for a cheerful atmosphere.
  • You get great value for your money with inexpensive prices, so it's ideal for a casual pint or a bite without breaking the bank.
  • The layout is smooth and welcoming, with comfortable seating and a well-presented bar that adds to the overall experience.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss, with some reports of staff seeming uninterested or taking their time, which might leave you waiting longer than you'd like.
  • Food quality has had its ups and downs; portions can be smaller than expected, and things like dry rice or beef in curries might not hit the spot.
  • Cleanliness is an issue at times, with dirty tables and less-than-ideal handling of messes, which can put a damper on the visit.
  • There are occasional long waits for food, sometimes over 30 minutes, which isn't ideal if you're popping in for a quick meal.
  • It doesn't always live up to expectations, as some have noticed changes like smaller portions or a general dip in standards compared to before.
