    Great atmosphere, good food and the cocktail jugs are well worth it! Also, it's in a great location…read moreif you want to walk around Ipswich city centre or see a show at the theatre.

    A relatively new addition to the Ipswich dining scene, Pumpyard Bar & Brewery (or Four Hearts…read moreBrewing Company - the name appears to be used interchangeably) has become one of our regular eats - I'd even go as far as calling it our go-to restaurant. And judging by how busy the place is every time we go - I'm guessing we aren't alone. They serve bar-style food like burgers, wraps, chips etc, but with a fancy twist such as Chili Cheese Fries and Beer ice cream. The portions are not huge, but the prices are also quite reasonable. Their Wednesday night special $12 ribs are absolutely delicious. Pumpyard Bar & Brewery is the first and only brewery in Ipswich since 1903, and being a brewery, there is always a good variety of beer to be had - both in-house brewed as well as more common bottled beer. Some of their brewed beer is really interesting, like their Wabbit Saison which is a carrot beer, and my personal favorite - the Coffee Cream Ale which is a beer brewed with coffee - awesome! Some of the beers like the Coffee Cream Ale are seasonal, so unfortunately are not available all of the time. They also sell take-home growlers so you can take your favorite beer home too :) With a great atmosphere complete with beer vats right in the dining area, live music on Sunday's and friendly staff, it's easy to see why this place is very quickly becoming a favorite :)

    Finally! Sandgate has been screaming for a super funky place to go on a Sunday afternoon, and now…read morewe have one. Formally an access alley to the bike shop next door, Cardigan Bar's atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. Cardigan had amazing beers on tap, fantastic ciders and really good wine. The service couldn't be more friendly and relaxed and the live music is great. It's not trying to do everything, which is what I love about it. Food options are limited to cheese and olives which is really all you need for a relaxed afternoon or evening. But if you do get a little more hungry, the Thai place next door is happy to deliver take away to your table, or you can bring in pizza from down the road. The location is central and easy to get to. Seating is inside, around the bar or out on the footpath. I absolutely love this place.

    Rarely and very rarely do i squeeze five drops of cheer from my bladder of sunshine and happiness,…read morehowever I have been caught off guard by the Cardigan bar and am now a willing slave to its charms of eccentricities. With a range of craft beers to challenge even the most adventurous Bavarian and a variety of music and artists on any day ending with Y, it is good times on a stick and in a glass. If stale clinical commercial bars and bistros are what your used to then feel free to stay there, because the Cardigan bar is what a bar should be, not designed for seating capacity and bar stools are very crude and impersonal and you have to crowd and push your way to the bar and I for one love it. You wont find your typical dynamic in this place Kitty Kat, although you will find lots of colour and characters to suit and that included the owners and their staff. And watch out for the ceramic eagle.
