Arcade Street Tavern

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!

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.

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 lovely place, expensive.......but lovely. The beer choice is top drawer and so is the Gin selection. Street food under the archway on a Friend night I believe and the bars tastefully furnished. A nice place to sit and spend an evening or a Saturday.....just don't look at your bank balance in the morning 🙈

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.

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.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I wanted somewhere to have a quick drink and snack before the theatre. They didn't do food but suggested it was fine to bring my own. They reserved a table for us too.

Hidden Gem for the Ale Lover! Great and varied selecrion of local and narional ales. Friendly staff. Bar areas are staggered and there is a covered external area so an atmospheric area for everyone.
