Well done to the whole Arcade Tavern team for the way that you managed last Saturday afternoon, the day that ITFC got promoted!
From the Management to the Bar Staff, you were all very patient and welcoming as always.
The drink were spot on as usual, and service with a smile :)
Fabulous bar for beer enthusiasts.
A great range of styles on draught, and an emphasis on Belgians on bottle - with seasonal specials too, not just standard lines.
Carried 2 cask lines - nothing special but eminently drinkable, and much better than you'll find nearby.
Best bar for beer in Ipswich, by a margin!
Fantastic venue. Nestled away just off the main shopping area this pub has an excellent selection of beers. There are many keg offerings, a couple of cask beers and fridges full of wonderful Belgian bottles (each with their own matching glass, so done properly).
Ample outside seating and plenty of room inside too. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. There is a food offer but as we didn’t order any we can’t really comment.
Would highly recommend a visit, we didn’t want to leave and would have happily stayed for the entire day.
Lovely little place with several rooms you can sit in with a 2nd bar that i guess is used on busy nights. Has a covered outside area as well on the street.
Also has free WiFi and I had a good connection so no complaints there. Music was a nice level so i could make calls easy.
Pity they don't do food other than bar snacks and sausage rolls but not every where can I know.
Been popping in here recently on a Saturday for a couple of drinks, good choice of wine and beer and a lovely sausage roll to snack on too.
Staff very nice and polite - would recommend.
Came in for a drink twice today so cant judge the food. Like the impressive craft beer range and also happy to see decent 0% options from Big Drop. Despite being busy got served nicely- Thank you A.T. Team
Top quality pub with fantastic and continually changing cutting edge craft beers, not to mention a massive selection of gins and rums. No visit to Ipswich is complete without a visit to the Arcade Tavern. Great events too!
Excellent bar with a great range of beers and very friendly, helpful staff
Absolutely lovely bar! Non-alcoholic gins are really refreshing. Great staff and so many different drinks to choose from.
Nice friendly staff, excellent craft ale selection. Have not tried food yet.
I contacted the "Two Ross's" to organise our work Christmas do and they couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. We had a fantastic evening of buffet food, drinks and comedy (supplied by The Big Cheese, but organised by Arcade Tavern) and the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all of my colleagues. Super friendly team, efficient in taking drinks orders for large groups and very well organised.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very welcoming and fun. Will certainly return!
We visited 3rd September. The pop-up catering 'Stacked Out' was fantastic and a great selection of beers and other drinks to accompany from the Tavern. Stacked Out are back 17 September from 5pm.
Great beer, always a decent selection too 👌🏼
Not the cheapest admittedly, but if you love exceptionally good Belgian beers like the ones you’ll find here you wouldn’t expect cheap. It gets very busy at peak times but the atmosphere is always cheerful.
A busy environment, so they're clearly getting something right. Venue broadly clean, although toilets were in quite a state. However, plenty of staff, they were efficient and there's a wide range of drinks. It's the first time in a long while though I've seen a venue listed on Untappd selling beer at £12 a pint which isn't available in thirds. However, they probably don't need to given how busy they are, and the craft beer selection was well curated for what doesn't appear to be a beer led pub. Venue opening hours are also unclear, but the ones on Untappd appear wrong.
Great pub with a well designed range of rooms, amazing ale and spirits selection. They really seem to work hard on offering an engaging experience with lots of different nights. However, if you want a quiet drink served by a friendly and knowledgeable staff, this pub can still accommodate you.
Did I mention the amazing ale and spirits selection! Good rotation too.
Re-reviewed as I previously had the wrong place - late night!! (Plus had given it 5 starts on my Untapped too!) This is a lovely bar in a small arcade that could easily be missed by visitors to Ipswich. Some unique ales which although they may seem a little pricey are generally a fair strenght & are not ofter seen. I jumped straight into and had a Burnt Mill Brewery 2/3 of Denali Fog - wow, this was spot on. Nice building & friendly staff, will go back next time I head south.
Always has a great selection of beers and excellent service even when busy
I can't praise this pub enough. It's beautifully kept and has an amazing selection of ales, lagers, stouts, runs, whiskeys, etc. There were 15 beers on when we attended. Made the trip from Colchester just to go to this one pub. Excellent atmosphere and friendly staff. An absolute must-visit. Well done.
