I decided to get a pint of beer which was good as I expected and my boyfriend got the strawberry milkshake, which he really enjoyed but ended up drinking way too quickly. I think a bigger portion of that might be better. I think this is a great place to stop when out drinking or to have your last pint before going home if you've been out all day and it's getting late. Definitely a must go.

If you are a fan of tweeness then you deserve to make a pilgrimage to this bar where the clientèle is Norwich's hipster population, infact it would be a safe bet to say that between this bar and the Norwich Arts Centre is the epicenter of hipsterville in Norwich. Saying that it is super-friendly and quirky. The staff are very nice and the selection of live music and cabaret is very typical of Norwich's music scene (mostly acoustic guitar sets). There are stacks of Vice and various other fashion magazines hanging around as well as a pile of boardgames in the corner (Ive played many an intense game of Scrabble here). The drinks are a little expensive but this is balanced out by the fact it's genuinely a nice place to drink and some nights there is a cover to see bands but this is usually "optional". Conclusion; hipstertastic but ultimately nice.

Walking around the lovely town of Norwich, we came across this small bar. It's got a quaint…read moreatmosphere with seating on main floor, upstairs, and outside. We opted to sit outside, but the outside seating area was extremely small. Be prepared to be cramped anywhere you sit as the inside is limited for seating space as well. Nonetheless, the waiters were very nice and attentive. While my business partner drank a bloody mary (he said it was the best he'd ever tasted), I ordered a pint of Adnams Ghost Ship. I like my beers a little on the hoppy side, so this choice was perfect: not too hoppy, but still carries a citrus taste. With a menu heavily slanted towards brunch, I ordered the traditional English breakfast and was satisfied. Not the best I've ever had, but certainly worth recommending to the casual visitor.

We came one morning from brunch and loved the eggs! They do a fine cup of coffee as well. The "American Style" Pancakes where however anything but American Style. Being an American I can say I've never laid eyes on a pancake like that and I've had my share. They tasted nice, but it was essentially a couple scones made from pancake batter. We went back again for breakfast a few weeks later and brought friends from London with us and tries more of the egg dishes, bacon, and chorizo this time which were all stellar. Franks is quickly becoming our favorite breakfast and brunch place in Norwich. This Thursday we are planning of stopping in for dinner to give it a go.

(At least it's stopped raining for once, I suppose) The menu is the only reason that I have docked a star one of the right on pulse, fruit and rabbit-food mash-ups of normal dishes .. steak and kidney pie au braised Somalian rhubarb flowers, seagull's tears jus and a soupcon of freshly ground organic love. (I made that dish up by the way. Though, to be fair, I only saw the specials on the board this could actually be in the menu). The staff were really friendly, the vibe was really friendly. The lights were low so I couldn't read my Kindle without my eyes watering. A lime and soda cost £1. Definitely worth a punt.

The atmosphere is cosy when the weather's crap and there's a lovely but tiny courtyard for when the it's sunny (it does happen once in a while). Whatever the weather situation, we always manage to have a great time. Though I'm not anything close to being a vegetarian, I have always quite enjoyed their veggie burgers. They are obviously made in-house (or at least they used to be... haven't been in a while) and are hearty, well seasoned, and rather delightful. If that doesn't appeal, they've got plenty of other veggie options to choose from and a few things for those with more carnivorous tendencies as well. We've always had very friendly/efficient service, there's always some good people watching to be done, and I'm a bit jealous whenever I hear that my friends have gone without me (which apparently, they do quite often. pffft!). Looking forward to my next visit in September. Hurrah!

I am not usually one to complain about my experience at Cuba Revolution, but unfortunately…read moreeverything was awful this time. I had pre-ordered our meals and I received a confirmation this was passed over to the Norwich management team before we were due to arrive. When we arrived, we were informed they were not aware of our pre-orders so we ordered on arrival. We were then waiting for an hour (baring in mind it was small meals and it was not busy in the restaurant) and so I asked if we could get these to go as we didn't have all afternoon to wait for our meals. Once we had settled up, we were not offered any money off for the inconvenience and to top it off we were missing one side of sweet potato fries and the rest of the food was charcoaled like it had been sitting under a hot counter for hours. We are very un-impressed and wasn't able to eat the food as it was cold and inedible. It was sad that no one came to check on us after 30 minutes to even give us an update as to why the food was taking so long. Safe to say, I regrettably will not be returning for food anytime soon.

I had heard many good things about this pub before finally walking through the door one Sunday…read moreevening for a pint. The first thing that struck me was the amazing range of beverages displayed on the board above the bar - how can one choose? The crowd this particular evening was about 60 strong, the atmosphere was jovial - unoccupied seats were nonexistent. I manoeuvred through the heaving mass and into the small gap between two punters to place my order at the bar - a gypsy-like barmaid appeared to take my order. Sullen faced and visibly disinterested she grunted in my direction, I took this as my cue to request my desired frothy. "A pint of La Chouffe please" I asked. The response I got back from her was drenched in a thick Norfolk accent, unintelligible to anyone other than her ilk. After twice excusing myself and asking her to repeat her response I gathered that she was telling me that the La Chouffe was off. I went for the Budvar instead, it was served in a straight non branded pint (as was every other drink being drank in the bar). The Budvar was refreshingly cold and tasted brewery fresh. I looked in vain for a free seat inside, but after getting a nostril full of the vomit-like smell at the back of the pub near the toilets I was happy to venture outside and perch at one of the tables. Due to living in close proximity I have been back a few more times sampling many of the stouts on gravity which seem to change quite frequently. The range of beers continue to impress, but the staff continue to disappoint. If they could put some focus on to improving their customer service for anyone who isn't a known customer and also liberally apply some Febreze to the floors this place could live up to its reputation. There is a sense that the owner/staff are resting on their laurels. Watch out, the competition is surely coming.

Having heard about a great selection of beers in Norwich, I had to give it a try. I wasn't…read moredisappointed. The name gives it away - a massive selection of Belgian beers. Well over 30 different drafts and bottles on offer, all neatly organized and listed on the wall by price, style and alcohol-by-volume for easy ordering. I had also checked their website, so I knew that they also had a decent food menu, with a rather large and strange section focused on mussels. My friend and I arrived in the peak of the dinner hour. Most of the tables had reserved signs on them, but we were able to find one that was still open. Standard UK ordering system - pay and order at the bar, your food will be brought to your table. They have a two-for-ten deal with a six or so meals. My friend and I both went with the mussels and fries special. The mussels arrived in a large stock pot with about 20+ mussels in a heavenly cream and onion stock. Very delicious. The fries were a little soggy, but they were hot and good, served with a small pot of mayo. Other sauces were available, but instead I tossed them into the soup to soak up the stock, then fished them out with the mussel fork. :-) Hard to choose which ones, but we enjoyed three delicious Belgian beers. Starting with a weissbier, then a blond and for me, ending up with a pilsner. All were excellent selections, but the weiss was definitely my favorite. Draft beers are only served in half pint glasses, bottles are 300 or 330ml depending. Tip: Book ahead.
