The Leopard - Norwich

Reviewed By 146maxa

One of mine and my friends favourite spots in Norwich. Perfect mix of traditional and modern with loads of great and interesting new beer all the time ! (Cask, keg and cans). The decor is perfect both indoors and out giving off a really warm feeling. A really nicely decorated, almost secret, garden is also a really nice addition especially in the summer. Staff are always really friendly and welcoming, without being patronising, and always happy to give out testers and offer some good beer advice. Finally the place feels really safe in regards to Covid, with loads of handwashing stations and easy to follow signs laying out all of the rules. Aswell as loads of space to spread yourself out in. All round a really awesome pub thats definately worth a visit ! (Also they have a seriously cute dog, which is always a bonus)

Fat Cat Pub, Norwich

The Fat Cat has a superb selection of ales which are constantly changing. Even though it is often very full, you will only have to wait less than a minute to be served. Staff are polite and knowledgeable and the clientele is always friendly. Best pub in Norwich

Hawthorn Bar

Great cocktails, great atmosphere, great service. Especially liked the provision of sanitary products in the bathroom for free. Only qualm would be small portions for £9 a drink. Have been twice and intend to go again!

Bowling House

Bowling House is a cocktail bar, karaoke venue and restaurant that just happens to be a ten pin bowling alley. Located on Dereham Road in Norwich City Centre, Bowling House is a great night out with fun group activities and special offers. A new addition to Norwich nightlife, if you’re planning an event for a birthday meal, hen party or stag do we have all the event ideas for big groups. We have plenty of fun things to do with the kids that are good for a rainy day, so if you’re looking for somewhere to take the family give us a call. Our corporate hospitality packages are great for work nights out, with special deals for team building or your annual Christmas Party.

Really enjoyable experience as always. No bowling due to covid restrictions, so just drinks and food with friends outside. Friendly and attentive service, good prices including great-tasting 241 cocktails anytime on different cocktails and a variety of them, great tasting food and well-chosen music. They even moved us to another table when our time ended and never pushed us to leave. Will be going again soon to use my new membership and to bowl too!

The Fat Cat Brewery Tap

Micro brewery and the finest pub in Norwich. A year round beer festival with great live music and the most entertaining quiz night for miles around with the most enthusiastic manager you could wish to meet.

Reviewed By Supermario22 - Ware, United Kingdom

Visited last week quieter than normal due to COVID-19 restrictions, but still joint number 1 pub in Britain in my humble opinion (along with the Fat Cat West End Street) Great quality and well kept beers as ever on offer along with great atmosphere friendly knowledgeable staff which makes it a must go to place to. Indulge in the cheesy chips which were delicious and great value for money. Can hardly wait for my next visit.
