The Drawing Rooms Bar, Pub in Norwich

Reviews

1. Carolyn Jackson (Carrie) ★★★☆☆

   Visited today for first time to celebrate birthday ahead of going for lunch in Benedict’s. Had read good reviews but honestly cannot believe the hype. The place was dead when we arrived. The staff were completely disinterested and disconnected one on her phone and the other hiding under a cap. Zero customer relations. More interested in chatting about their own social lives leaving you waiting at the bar until their own important conversation completed . Honestly! Gen Z’s!! The booth we sat at had a dirty table which we had to wipe with a tissue and the carpet going down between floors was tacky and dirty. One toilet in the women’s was unusable as the door does not close! We bought two cokes and two cocktails which were mediocre and spent around £30. First and last visit for us. In a world of competitive hospitality that’s struggling it’s important to have great customer service - it REALLY matters!!!

   Amazing drinks and wonderful atmosphere. Staff are always very friendly. My only suggestion is that vegan drinks could be marked on the menu for clarity but otherwise brilliant !!

   Nice pub, definitely aimed at a younger generation as somewhere to predrink before going out out but a really nice atmosphere and well decorated. Bathrooms were lovely and clean.

   What a find, we only visited for coffee but am looking forward to trying the cocktails. The bar tender was passionate about the creations he has for the future. The decor is a fab mix of eccentricity and prohibition style. Well worth a visit

   This is a great bar. Visited during the day (with the dog) and had a quiet beer. The staff were friendly and chatty and the beer was good. There was a steady flow of customers, who all seemed friendly and relaxed, although it never got busy. Re-visited later that evening, after a meal, and enjoyed some great cocktails. The bar was busier and the atmosphere was much more lively and buzzy

   The staff are so kind and fun, the cocktails are out of this world and the venu itself is beautiful. I cannot wait to go back here and I can't recommend this place enough!!

   Elegant and trendy surroundings, really nice red wine options. Cool booth seating. Music was a little loud for conversation but didn't detract from the ambiance!

   Nicely done out bar but we found the staff a bit stuck up and not the friendliest. We will probably give it another go, we might have caught them on an off night. Good selection if drinks, especially cocktails.
