A grimy, run down building with a lackluster interior and a floor that your feet will stick to all night long. But don't let that put you off! During the week it is used as a music venue and although you'll never see the likes of Oasis play there, it does attract great up and coming bands. It also offers local bands a chance to showcase their talent with nights organised by local promoters. At the weekends the venue is used as a club that generally caters for the 'alternative' Norwich scene. Friday nights tend to alternate each week between 80's and 90's theme, which may sound cheesy but the DJ's actually play decent music from those decades. It is nothing like your typical Flares or Reflex nightclubs. Every Saturday in the main room downstairs is a club night called Meltdown, which tends to play alternative music catering for the indie/emo/punk/rock/dance genres. Up stairs there are two rooms. One is a small café bar, which is great to as a chill out area as there are plenty of tables and chairs located around. The other room is larger which has a different set of DJ's each week will be a different themed night. Anything from New Electro to Britpop to Heavy Metal or Rap. There's rarely any trouble in The Waterfront and you'll always make a new friend each time you go there. Overall, it's a great night out with a quality friendly atmosphere!

The bar has a big screen and is a bit of a barn. No character. Upstairs has pool tables but on a band night it has a stage and can get packed. Many good local and visiting bands. Recently the Blood Doctors, a London band, went down really well. Cheap to get in to see a band the drinks are reasonably priced. Tends to be rather alternate and studenty. Can be a bit impersonal on an ordinary night although tables, with bench seating around make it good for conversation. Have had some great nights when bands have been on. Friendly place. No trouble.

The movie themed night had free popcorn and prizes from the local cinema as well as inflatable Oscars on stage. As a live music venue it can get quite busy. There's a large pit area where most people dance and watch the acts. On the outer sides of this people stand on the stairs. There are two bars available to buy drinks from and a merchandise table is usually found at the back. The number 25 bus is a regular scheduled service here from the city centre.

Acts of the moment often use the LCR as a warm up gig for a bigger tour. Ticket prices are reasonable - usually up to £20 a time, and the venue is intimate - meaning you actually get to see the band you are paying to see without the need for video screens! Being a university, bar prices are student prices, so you can have a decent night out without it breaking the bank. Buses run regularly to and from the city centre to the UEA so there is no problem with getting home afterwards, and for those who are driving in, there is ample car parking available. Tickets can be booked online or over the phone, and the staff are very helpful. If you sign up for their newsletter, they will keep you informed of new gigs coming along.

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.

We were told that not only can you get tickets from their box office (the local health store) but online as well! Whilst the seats did become a little uncomfortable towards the end of the night this was the ONLY downside og a great night out.
