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.

This is a generally a busy, noisy placein fact I want to break out the adjective raucous to describe this one. Yet at the same time we were able to find a seat in a quieter room over to the right. I had a couple of their quality beers, namely the Hell Cat and the Marmalade Cat. I was also very pleased to see them selling rolls on the bar. They were at such a reasonable price that we bought some to take with us for later in the day!

Large screen TV means that the locals will be here cheering for Norwich or cheering for whomever is playing against Ipswich. On football nights, expect a big crowd so arrive early to get a table. Several local brews available on tap and a few of the mass produced drafts too. Very good food menu. I had a lamb steak with new potatoes that was just awesome. My dinner-mate said his steak and Guinness pie was also excellent. There are a few parking spaces in the front. I don't know where you'll find parking nearby if those are filled. A regular go-to place in Norwich, I recommend it highly!

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.

No proper dinner, which makes it hard for us to justify three taxi rides as opposed to just two. But I managed to convince the gang to give it a try and as luck would have it, we were able to catch a ride later to a proper restaurant. Lots and lots and LOTS of beer choices here. Not only a few of the mass produced types, but they had a few cask ales on tap. And of course, their own Fat Cat Brews. I started off with one of the real ales - something called "Bitter & Twisted" which I'd never seen before. Good stuff. But who comes to a brewery pub and has something from somewhere else? So for number two, it was Fat Car's Honey Ale. Hand-pulled and absolutely lovely! Inside tables and some outside in their beer garden. They do have nuts and crisps, but again, no proper food. We'll be back. I really want to try their Cougar (a pale beer with lager malt) and the 8% "La Chouuffe".

Early reviews suggest it was once a B&B, something I haven't noticed in my few visits there as I've only come to have a bite or drink. The interior is thoughtfully decorated with bookshelves and atmosphere is welcoming enough to sit solo or bring friends, but spacious enough to hear your own conversations and flag down a server. The seating is spacious and numerous both inside and out: barstools, tables, booths, and a considerably sized beer garden out back. The bar offers your standard ales (£3 on Tuesdays), ciders, and cocktails. Upon first glance the dining menu looks limited, but there are a couple good selections. I've tried the Parmesan Chips and dips, desserts, and their burger with cheese, slaw and British bacon. The burger was surprisingly good--though most places offer some form or another, to be quite frank I've found a decent burger hard to come by in this area. Not your quintessential pub (I'd say some menu items fall on the gastropub side of the spectrum), but a good starting point for food and drinks if you're in the Golden Triangle.
