Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A real ale drinker’s heaven! 18 hand pumps, not all on at once except during beer festivals. 9 active pumps during my visit serving 6 real ales & 3 ciders. Definitely worth seeking out.

A great pub for such a selection of beers. Had a pie and chips. Pie was a bit dry but very tasty. The chips were really good, would have had another plate if I wasn't on a diet!

Good friendly real ales and ciders to choose from, pie and chips are good, friendly staff.

Proper real ale pub... and no wonder its Norfolk Camra pub of the year.

Great well kept beers and ciders at decent prices, the landlord was excellent and regulars friendly what a fantastic pub 👏 I didn't have a any of the pies or chips but they did look and smell great.

Was a bit unsure about heading in not knowing the area but so glad we did, one of my favourite pubs I've ever been to – gentle, friendly atmosphere; broad range of beers and friendly staff to help you choose which one you want; lots of board games, and even a billiards table. So great!

One of the best little pubs in the multiverse

An excellent real ale and real cider pub. Very welcoming and helpful with local bus routes! Had a couple of very good local ales. Pub games available too. Recommended.

An excellent little proper pub with great real ales and a friendly welcome. Visiting from The Endeavour Chelmsford in Essex I popped in to say hi. It was a bank holiday weekend and they had beer festival and live folk band on. Beers were plentiful, 28 total plus 60 or so ciders, I tried 5 all of which were in very good form especially the Blackfriars Porter. Had a chat with the landlord and some of the bar staff, all friendly and knowledgeable. A well deserved Camra winner for Norfolk.

Brilliant at the weekend, but has not been open since. Maybe more an issue with Google (and their front door) saying it was open at normal times I.e 11 to 11

Went to this bar a couple of days ago (a Sunday) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Went back today (tuesday) at 16:00 but it was closed - according to Google, it was open and had been since 12:00! Please ensure that opening times are up-to-date so that customers can avoid wasting time walking in the rain!

Was having a beer and cyder festival so an exceptional selection of local beers and ciders available. Hot dogs were on sale, with cultural twists, but we had already eaten.

Very unfriendly landlord. Avoid

Great pub nice atmosphere and nice selection of ales and ciders A+

Brilliant pub. Great beer, pie & chips

Lovely pub, real ale, games, no frills or flashing lights, fantastic service and hidden garden. Deserve their awards, dog-friendly, recommended!

Went with my lovely boyfriend 💕

Lovely friendly pub, excellent choice on tap as well as bottles. Games on the tables and a darts board. Highly recommend

Best pub in Norfolk in my eyes. Fantastic real ales,lots of great ciders. The Landlord and partner are two great people also.

Awesome selection of real ales, friendly and knowledgeable landlord. Plenty of traditional bar games to keep the nominated driver amused. Unfortunately, we did not discover this little gem until the last night of our holiday, however we will be returning next year and this will be our first port of call.

Great little pub. Great selection for beers and games to play at the tables Friendly atmosphere

Excellent pub if you like ale. Totally superb. Friendly owners and superb bar games.

Amazing warm welcome from the staff and locals. The ale selection was superb and they knew their stuff. This is a 'pub' in its best form. Good beer, good conversation and atmosphere.......just go and pull up a bar stool.

Nice, warm and comfortable. Beer festival was on with a great selection of beers and cider. Food looked great.

Only been in a couple of time but both times we have been greeted with a warm welcome. Nice selection of beer that's reasonably priced. Lovely pub.

We went during a real ale festival Several types of beer were available. We didnt eat . But enjoyed the atmosphere. Would go again.

Smashing little pub, small attached Brewery. Excellent friendly staff & service. A must to checkout!!! Hot food is available, indoor & outdoor seating.

Had a lovely visit to there beer festival yesterday. Excellent choice of beers , friendly attentive service and the homemade pies were delicious . We shall be back..we thank you 😊

Nice corner local brewpub, with a range of other local cask beers

An excellent range of local beers. Friendly, welcoming landlord. Lunchtime food basic but good. Just right to accompany a pint or two. Quiet when we visited on a Friday afternoon but still a good atmosphere. Highly recommended if you enjoy good beer.

Great pub that sells hot food with a good vegetarian selection

Great place. Eclectic selection of quality local draft beers, including one called Biggus Dickus! Apparently Incontinentia Buttocks is on the way! Brilliant!

A nice, very unique British pub. The food and beer were great.

Charming pub. Loads of board games and pub games to play. Also have a load of old comic books (Beano/ Topper/ Dandy - that sort of thing). An old piano. Friendly staff and customers and the beer is their own. This is a real gem.

Really nice ales and ciders, 2 decent beer gardens, board games, books, friendly staff proper pub!

We stumbled across this pub. So friendly, amazing beers, games on every table. Great atmosphere. A gem of a pub.

Great pub to have a pint in and lots of old wooden games to play , I will be back soon

Lovely place. Nice ambiance. Wonderful beer.

Blackfriars Tavern is one of the best traditional cask ale pubs in Great Yarmouth. It's located in the less-than-thrilling hinterland of town, close to the remains of its medieval wall. The pub is totally worth the walk from the seafront (or, alternatively, the station). There's at least ten(!) taps available at all times (a couple were out on my visit), and they're all beers from that area. A bunch of pub games are lying about, indicating a lively community pub. The interior is traditional too, appealing mostly to old punters. There's a small but convenient outside seating area to the back. I found the landlady to be most helpful and welcoming. Alas, I had only time for a single pint. Wholly recommended.

I reckon this is the best cask ale pub in Gt Yarmouth. Very welcoming. Very comfortable and relaxed. A great range of proper cask ales, has one brewed on site as well. Range of classic Beano and Dandy comics from the 80's - early 00's was a nice touch, along with games like Jenga available to play at each table. Had the home made steak and kidney pie with the hand cut triple cooked chips. Absolutely fantastic and well priced too. Time passed very quickly here, will be back soon hopefully.

Great range of local ales on and friendly locals and staff

Great wee pud, stopped in for a few, and was Warmley welcomed

Great location local venue, never visited before but will return, great to see a real ale festival taking place here also.

Had a very enjoyable afternoon at their first beer festival, great beers, ciders and clientele. The staff were wonderful - Well worth a visit!

Ontzettend leuke pub. Laat je verrassen door de keuze van de uitbater, of het nou bier of cider is hij komt met wat lekkers of aparts 😁

The pies are to die for, regularly call in for a pie and a bit of pub game fun! So nice to have a traditional pub with an epic range of beers that is relaxed and friendly. Great sun trap in the beer garden and the friendliest landlord around! Great place!

Great beer, friendly host, tasty chips, excellent pub.

Amazing beer, the one I had is brewed on the premises. The pies are home made too and absolutely delicious. A proper pub with a great atmosphere and a hospitable landlord.

what a brilliant find. lovely place. great beer (some brewed on premises) and a great relaxed atmosphere 6 stars

Day out in Gt Yarmouth- my wife found it on the Internet , knowing i like dark beers left me here while she looked around the town. Not at all disappointed- good afternoon - landlord very friendly and knows his beers. Thoroughly recommended if you are anywhere near

What a fabulous selection of real ales, and the owners are so friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back and try the home made pies and triple cooked homemade chips. Thank you accommodating us on Saturday evening. The Nottingham ladies

Brill pub, plenty of choice of real ales. Staff friendly and welcoming

Welcoming landlord, Great selection of beers, my first visit after reading a review on Facebook, yes I'll be back.

Excellent service and a cracking atmosphere

Lovely pub, great selection of craft beers and other drink. Pub games on tables, tucked away in a side street, quirky and well worth a visit. Homemade pies and other bar foods available Landlord and clientel very friendly and chatty

Great service and a friendly landlord and landlady who know a lot about real ale and real cider. Fresh homemade and delightful pies are on offer as is a varied selection of Belgian beers and continental lagers - always a new one to try everyday. Come in a stranger, leave as a friend. Not wanting to drink anything alcoholic? This pub offers a wide of loose leaf tea from all different varieties of which you can take home and make up to fifty cups of. Coffee is available too with all traditional brews served. Darts, chess and other traditional pub games such as bar skittles are available for you and your friend to kill time with. In short this pub is definitely worth a long visit.

I often visit pubs, this is one of the best! Fantastic selection of real ales. Really comfortable and relaxed atmosphere with games/cards on every table. I really could spend all day here it’s really worth a visit! The owners are super friendly and know their beers very very well and are able to suggest based upon your preference. All areas are clean, tidy and well presented. Those who don’t want alcohol are very well catered for too with a selection of loose tea’s to chose from. Well behaved dogs are welcomed and treated with cuddles and free gravy bones! They sell food such as home made pies and (more than) triple cooked chips and sometimes provide nibbles during your visit. We didn’t have the chance to eat but the food we saw served looked absolutely amazing. Thank you for making our trip to Great Yarmouth that little bit more magical we’ll be sure to return again soon!

Lovely place - barman was friendly and engaging, beer choice was very good and the selection of board games is impeccable

A really lovely, intimate craft pub. Excellent beer. Friendly. A gem in Yarmouth.

Great real pub focused on cask ales, very friendly

Very friendly barman, fabulous choice of well kept beers and ciders, great variety of games and a handsome pub to look at from the outside, just wished we had a pie too... Next time will give one a try

Well kept beer a must visit if in area.

Nice small pub,good choice of Ales and beer garden out back.

Second-Best pub in East of England, apparently!

What a find! Escape from the raucous clamour of the sea front and walk inland for 5 minutes. Wonderful, friendly pub with a great range of real ales and a welcoming, friendly landlord who really knows his beer and how to look after it. Don't miss it.

Love this pub. Best beers in Great Yarmouth. Friendly landlord and staff and friendly customers. Nice beer garden out the back also.

Pleasant enough back street locals. Good selection of beers. Handy bus service.

The pub has been upgraded to a great pub. The decor is amazing. Waiting for covit to be bk to normal. Then food and great hospitality will be resuming Drinks are on sale and everything has been set out according to the covit rules. You have a butter on the table to get you drinks order. Its really nice sitting in the garden, having a beer. Football is on every game. Get in early to watch the England match Friday. It's great to have the pub open again and the hospitality is top notch.

Leuk café, goede bediening, veel keuze gezellig

Came across this pub tucked away in the back streets ,what a treat landlord very friendly , great ales and ciders , great atmosphere even free roast potatoes on a Sunday , we shall return on our next visit to get Yarmouth

First time in lovely and cosy. Manager and staff first class can not fault a thing. Would recommend if you want a quiet enviroment and excellent service.

First time visit for me to this obviously newly refurbished backstreet Yarmouth pub. Much more modern inside than you would expect from the pleasantly old fashioned exterior. Lots of excellent quality real ales and ciders. The decor looks like somewhere that you would expect to pay over the odds for the drinks but the prices are very competitive and displayed clearly, which is a rarity these days. The friendly landlord offer tasters of the beers to help us make up our minds. There are outside drinking areas and games such as Jenga and Snakes and Ladders on the tables which was a nice touch. Well worth a visit.

Great bar with friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

A hidden gem, all I can say is use it or lose it, pleasant surroundings and polite helpful staff well done

New opened pub.Very clean,cozy,a lot of craft beers. Two outside garden places.Play games on table. Friendly atmosphere.

Relaxed atmosphere with quality drinks on offer is what you will find if you seek out this newly refurbished pub.

Great food and drink and good atmosphere
