| Now i know it's got it's bad points, but i love this place. Great for a few beers, a sporting event, music, food, & even during the day for a cuppa. Set by the river & a stones throw from other bars, restaurants, a multiplex & the railway station you cannot go wrong. Friendly staff but i just wish the manageress would smile once in a while. darky - 15 Oct 2007 16:01 |
| if you want to visit this pub at the weekend GO EARLY!! If you don't you'll be waiting forever to get to the bar, you'll have to squeeze past leering old men who still think they're 19 and you're bound to get a drink spilled on you. Be prepared for everyone you meet to have some kind of link with Norwich Union Insurance. However, good pub in the summertime as there is plenty of seating by the river. The toilets are upstairs, be careful on this staircase ladies if you wear heels. It can be a bit tricky at times. anonymous - 13 Dec 2005 19:33 |

| Somewhere there has to be a merchant produced brochure of Norwichs Riverside area, and I`m positive that within it they would describe this large Lloyds as the “jewel in the crown of the most happening district in the county”. Unfortunately, despite the streams of publicity that this bar gets across Norwich I`m afraid my own description would be something more akin to “the biggest turd on the compost heap of Norwich most classless and chav happy backstreet”. It really is difficult to know where to start with this one – so spoilt am I for ugly features that require a well-placed boot. I suppose a good place to deliver the first kick is the clientele, which on most weeknights as well as the weekends is quite simply awful. Wall to wall scum, chavs, arseholes, pissed up students, violent footie fans and a whole menagerie of grossly tartish females whose very presence is enough to put you off the whole concept of reproduction for life. In short, like all Lloyds, it’s a magnet for undesirables who are simply orgasmic that their definition of a classy joint (i.e. it has a few washed surfaces and functioning urinals) has a pricing policy that allows them to even step through the doors. Naturally violence tends to be high on the agenda for most evenings which at least is a distraction from how boringly bland the place is (glistening surfaces, IKEA sofas, assembly kit tables etc) and the throbbing sound system that blasts out the latest girl band track completely out of synch with the cheap big screen projector that dominates one of the white washed walls. And to top off the disappointment, the drink selection is typically non-existent and the food tastes like heated up cardboard. Are there any redeeming features? Well, I suppose its pretty spacious, cheap and the outside area over looking the canal is relatively nice in the summer, though you will have to get used to the sound of repetitive football chants if you intend to stay there for more than 10 mins. In short – avoid 2/10 pgazz - 2 May 2005 13:31 |
| As someone new to the Norwich Gay scene I was pleased to visit such a lovely place. So much better that the haunts I used to visit in Nottingham. Top Tunes (Kylie, Atomic Kitten etc) made me feel totally camped up. Choo Choo to Norwich! I look forward to my future visits. Ruby Rubes - 14 Sep 2004 11:42 |
