I've only been here on a lunchtime before the football at Carrow Road. Today there were 4 real ales on and 2 just finished. Most of our party had Woodfordes Once Bittern, others the Nog. Both well kept
Good pub, good landlady, shows the football but not obtrusively

Above average Norwich back-street pub.
Good choice of food and some decent beer.
Too noisy for my liking.
Not allowed to drink outside so a minus if you want to drink and smoke.

An extra pub we added on passing as it is in the current Woodfordes Trail. Woodfordes Wherry & Nelsons Revenge with Broadside and Elgoods Cambridge. It was a shame that the Black Dog Mild was not available although still advertised behind the bar in large lettering. Our group found the beer to warm and therefore not that enjoyable. The pub is traditional with bare floorboards and many beams. Large fireplace with a wood burning stove that thankfully was not in use.

Went there last Sunday and was pleasantly surprised by the standard of ale, barman and not least a very enjoyable quiz. Fantastic - am going back every week!
|
Reasonably busy pub on a Friday night, ticking over nicely. Woodforde's Nelsons Revenge and Adnams Broadside provided the ammunition for the evening
|
A fine pub in a fine city in a nice, quiet part of town. A good selection of real ales that are well kept.
|
Nice pub in pleasant, leafy backwater on the edge of the city centre. 3 or 4 real ales on offer from East Anglian breweries - I had the broadside and it was fine.
|
pleasant pub near city centre, but does anyone know its there?
|
Charactor pub for sure, in real shit location but seems to do everything right. All the nice oak beams and twee little touches. Beer is ok, well kept, staff polite and efficient. Good little pub.
|
I really like this pub. I found it by accident. Definitely well worth a visit. The best pub in Norwich. I was in there on a saturday afternoon and it wasnt to busy. Nice big fire athlough I doubt very much if its real. Next time I am in Norwich I will be back to visit this pub.Its a locals pub but dont let that put you off.

This should be one of the best pubs in Britain. Roaring fires, oak beams and all that crap. But what's on tap for those of us who like our showers golden? Yup, you guessed it - Fosters. I'll say it again dear publicans, serve up that piss as your weak lager option and you're sticking two fingers up to your lager drinking customers. Shame, the scowling barmaid was a right bunk-up.

One of the greatest things about Norwich (besides providing an opportunity to witness the bizarre effects of committed inter breeding) is that hidden within the winding cobbled streets of the outer city centre and the green suburbs of the Golden triangle are numerous pubs that can only be described as gems. The Micawber, sandwiched on the quiet end of Pottergate road between the bottom of Cow Hill and the busy St Benedicts street, is a prime example of this endearing Norwich characteristic, being everything you really want from a boozer.
The interior is classic deep panelled wood and contains around three or four slightly separate areas that rather than being partitioned in the crass way preferred by chain pubs, simply organically grows from the linking corridor that runs along the bar. These little rooms fulfil nicely differing purposes - the largest for footie watching (simply excellent as the atmosphere is always relaxed), and the others for eating or alternatively for a quiet but boozy chat. The drink selection is wide and affordable, the staff friendly and well, everything is just about great.
Maybe the only minor quibbles are that it can become fairly busy particularly on a Sunday and the menu, while reasonable could be a little bit more varied and better produced. However, these slight problems simply don�t take the shine off a great little pub.
