Bond No.28 in Norwich

Cool place for relaxing drink night. Good selection of beverage. Staff very friendly, professional and attentive. Nice atmosphere with good dj live music. Will be back. Thank you.

Booked a private group Whisky Tasting in the downstairs bar as part of a stag do, Morgan was fantastic from the off and couldn’t be more attentive in arranging the booking and catering to what we were after to make it feel special (even for what is quite a generic booking), and followed up afterwards which was a lovely touch! Really cosy settings downstairs for the private function and the bar staff were good fun and very accommodating on the day - would definitely return to Bond in general

Good bar, decent company, was a bit drunk

Had an amazing time here! The service was brilliant and really made our night! The manager, Matthew, was such a great host! Will definitely be going back for more cocktails!

Had a fantastic evening with the girls! Matthew, the manager, provided exceptional service — he’s truly an asset. We’ll definitely be back!

The girls and I had a great time at bond! Cocktails were delicious, great atmosphere and Matthew, I think he’s the manager, totally made our evening with amazing service and sparkling personality! We will be back!

Favourite place to meet friends for a get together. Great atmosphere and staff are lovely.

What a great place.I cant thank Matt enough- he made our night. Total asset to Bond and one of the main reasons I will go back! Thank you Matt

Incredible cocktails. The downstairs bar is quiet and cosy. Our bartender was great to chat to, very entertaining.

Matthew was amazing host and certainly would come back 😀

I visited here with a few friends, and we unanimously agreed afterwards that this is in our top 3 stops in the city.

This is the place that will always be my first choice in norwich. Amazing staff, Incredible service, and even better food and drink. All round fantastic experience every time.

Slap bang wallop in one of Norwich's most historic areas, this is a fine bar that is fit for a fine city. 5* experience.

Matthew the new GM is amazing, lovely and his customer service is second to none! Fab night, this is our new haunt as a group of friends x

Fab Saturday brunch. Great service, lovely food and drinks.

We booked a table for sunday lunch (luckily didn’t pay in advance as is an option) - we turned up and the doors were shut, no way to get in and no one answering the phone. It says it’s open online, and is taking bookings AND a credit card hold incase I AM a no show. I hope i’m not going to be charged because we were most definitely there and no one else was.

Our Sunday roast was enjoyed by both of us yesterday. We arrived a bit early, just as they were setting up in fact. No worries we had a drink at the bar and took a seat for a while. Ordered one beef, and one turkey. Requested medium rare but wasn't really bothered unless it was well done. Received well done. Didn't complain not much point. Was still very good. The cauliflower cheese was excellent and Wife loved her turkey so all good. Wine list was good so had a lovely Malbec. Wasn't particularly busy which was a shame but we are coming out of roast season I guess and this is a new venture for them. We hadn't been here before but we had been to Reeds a few years back. Looks great have to say. Good service by Ellie and Kyle. Credit to the company. We shall return. For drinks maybe, but definitely for food. (As an aside only one keg beer was on out of three, perhaps a heavy Saturday night?!).

Lovely place for a few drinks and some banging 80's tunes on a Saturday afternoon. Outside courtyard is a lovely bonus.

Went for the launch of the Sunday lunch and what an amazing lunch ! Roast beef was tender and plenty of perfectly cooked vegetables, service was second to none, the staff were very friendly and so attentive ! Definitely good value for money! Great atmosphere in lovely surroundings, would highly recommend, will definitely go again, Well done Bond No28

I recently visited for the first time as part of a large private party and left feeling quite annoyed by the randomly increasing prices and stealth charges. As an example, a pint at the start of the night was £6.50, by the middle of the night it was £7, at the end it was £8.50 because of an extra £1.50 "service charge". The staff weren't even bringing drinks to the tables, it was all bar service! The venue itself is ok, the staff were pleasant enough, but the "dynamic pricing" is incredibly shady.

Delicious cocktail and nice environment. Comfortable seating, nice lighting. The music was an odd choice on a Saturday early evening, Unchained Melody and similar. Also added a service charge very discreetly, paid without seeing the actual bill. Polite and efficient dealing with the query by who I assume was the manager. With these things in mind, I would go in again.

We had bottomless brunch at Bond yesterday for my hen do. It was absolutely amazing, private room, the staff got involved, coming round topping drinks up. Thank you for an awesome start to my hen do! ☺️🥂

We hired the downstairs at bond for a private hen do for bottomless brunch, they food was great, the team were incredible and made it such a great experience for us all! Thank you to Ellie for running the afternoon for us!

First visit, recommended by my daughter. We were welcomed by a lovely young lady, Nadia, who more than looked after us throughout our two hour bottomless brunch. The cocktails were awesome, we had each one on the menu, there was no wait, the food was tasty and hot, I had the chicken waffle and my daughter had the avocado on sourdough whilst great music was playing. This has to be worth a visit when in Norwich and I can't wait to return. The staff and Manager were friendly and chatted with us. Thank you Bond for a perfect birthday celebration. We had a great afternoon. See you again.

Held a private party downstairs in Whisky & Rum - lovely atmospheric room. Staff were hugely helpful and friendly, and the food was great.

Somewhere without the groups of lads (maybe I'm getting old). It's a nice bar, a bit small for when it gets busy but still, worth a visit

Upon arrival we thought brilliant? There’s a dj a bit of atmosphere at a brunch for a change. But our opinions quickly changed. The food selection was minimal all much of the same with a different variation not to my liking? And when it did arrive it was pretty tasteless! The drinks selection was also lacking variety, one of the girls in our group doesn’t like sweet tasting drinks, but everything on the menu is sweet, on top of that not once did a member of staff come up to ask if we wanted another drink, we constantly had to keep looking over to catch their eyes to ask! We had 4 drinks in 2 hours, not what you want for a “bottomless brunch” There were only 3 staff on and they would all circulate around the bar chatting not offering top ups to the table! Well we won’t be returning that’s for sure

My favourite place for brunch and cocktails in Norwich! Thanks for always giving me and my friends a 5* experience. Will be seeing you again soon!

Such a great price for bottomless Thursdays. Pizza was delicious and amazing cocktail choices🤩 Loved the service from the young gentleman, so helpful and friendly! 🥂

Great place to hang and chill out. DJ was great with a mix of old and new. The bar offered an extensive range of cocktails and drinks. One of our favourite places in Norwich.

Great place here for engagement party Food was great Staff amazing Lovely atmosphere Venue beautiful very classy

Loved the music but the cigar bar wasn't open for no particular reason. Disappointing.

Went to the first boogie brunch and what a day!! 5* service and even better food 🤌🏽🤌🏽

Had a great bottomless Brunch last Saturday, fabulous service

amazing service with lovely staff and a beautiful venue. definitely recommend!

My favourite place in Norwich. The staff are so welcoming, a special thank you to Mark and Heidi for making every night so special! Best cocktails in Norwich!

Mark and his team made the evening a great success. Such great hosts! Thank you

Wow! What a classy joint. Not a place you would normally find someone like me, but the staff were friendly and the cocktails were amazing

Always nice to sit in the garden and chill. Great place for people watching.

Absolutely faultless service, fantastic atmosphere & general vibe! A special thanks to Mark, Ryan, Luke, Mia, AJ, Katie & Alfie you are a Dream team✨

I have only been here for drinks but its a good atmosphere and great tunes.

Didn't realise there is a dress code? Host let me in and then another bouncer grabbed me by the arm and made me leave saying I was dressed inappropriately for wearing converse shoes. Awful way to humiliate someone Should never grab someone without threat from them, could've approached me gently regards my attire

Beware of incorrect prices on the drinks menu. A £4.8 Corona turned into a £5.5 among other drinks. To their credit, the manager was quick to refund me the difference. The Pina Colada tasted devoid of any alcohol. On the positive side, the ambiance was quite good and the staff were friendly.

The manger Mark was the absolute legend of the night, highly recommended! The drinks, atmosphere, music… everything was five star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friendly atmosphere , good food and drink , would reccomend to anyone .

Location is wonderful, decor also. Drinks and cocktails are great. No Harvey Wallbangers though 😒

I pre-booked Bond No.28 three months ago for a group booking after reading the reviews. Unfortunately I didn't have the best experience. I was initially shared images of the area I had pre-booked which looked great, and I also asked to pre-order some bubbly as a surprise for the guests I was with. Whilst email communication was okay to begin with, I then had to follow up with a call 4 times to double check my booking was definitely confirmed and to ask to pay for the pre-ordered bubbly. When arriving on the evening, we were shown to a high table in the middle of the bar, with about 5 chairs, not ideal for a group of 13! I had to show the email and images I had been sent in advance to the team and they then agreed to move those that were sat in our area and allow us to sit there. Not the most ideal situation particularly after booking so far in advance and having to call up numerous times beforehand to double check everything was okay.

Loved the atmosphere here,staff were friendly even when we accidentally broke a glass, dab toilets

Lovely bar, great location, good vibe.

Great little bar, good drink selection, brilliant DJ and decor all make a fantastic atmosphere Already planning return visit

Staff were rude !!!! Service dreadful!!!!had table booked via OpenTable and when entered said no table available !!! Still waiting for Manager to contact me regarding my issues!!! Spend your money elsewhere!!!

Staff inexperienced rude booked table booked in advance not available on the night they had to move other customers ion before we could be seated. Manager please call.

Ambiance was very Nice, Recommend to visit and feel it.

OMG this place is absolutely amazing. Very,very clean and spacious. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Cocktails are a must.price a little over than others but would definitely give it a visit. Am giving it another visit very soon. Relaxing atmosphere and courtyard is spacious and clean.A little hidden gem from the norm.

Been to Bonds a few times recently, great cocktails (if a little pricey), good service and music. Makes a good venue if you're looking for a relaxed chat (outside) or want a couple drinks before heading elsewhere later. Also good for a coffee during the day for a meeting.

I used to love love love this place on a staurday night with Dj, loads of people chatting and drinking amazing cocktails from the lovely barmaids. Unfortunetly this Saturday night I was 1 of 3 people in there at 8pm , no DJ and £28 for 2 drinks. There's a reason it's empty and I hate to say it won't be long before this place closes

First time visiting and I am highly impressed, although the bar was extremely quiet, presumably due to the weather, the atmosphere was lovely. Very classy bar with incredible cocktails, the premium espresso martini is one to try, possibly even the best in Norwich. Bar tenders were lovely and incredibly knowledgeable, recommending some amazing sounding drinks that I'll definitely be returning to try.

First time here and went downstairs to the whisky & rum bar with friends after a wedding reception. Very relaxed vibe and the bartender was top notch. Would happily return next time I'm in the city centre.

Classy place to go for a nice cocktail

Really lovely place. Very attentive staff. 😁

Nice place for a quick cocktail with the girls. Quiet and spacious, be prepared to spend a little bit of money for a drink, but they are very delicious and well worth it.

Really friendly staff, huge garden with heaters and good prices

We used to love Bonds...table service in a lovely atmosphere....attention to detail... Went yesterday 12th March...table service was non existing... we had to queue for drinks and wait ages ...music was so loud you could not hear people talk...and £49 for x4 cocktails is seriously over priced... We won't be going back...

The waitress was really nice, but the speed of service from the bar was terrible - we waited more 50 mins for cocktails that had been preordered a week in advance. The availability of things from the menu was also very poor, with most of the whiskeys unavailable.

Lively place with an extensive drinks list. The Whisky and Rum bar in the cellar was just perfect for an enjoyable drink in a very comfortable atmosphere. Excellent service.

A more refined bar upmarket bar not too busy but nice some good tunes very likable.

Went to Drink here after being out in Norwich with the Lunch Club, 23 Degree day on a Friday late September, refused entry because we had Shorts, seriously !!!!!!!! Visited this venue over the last 20 years and it's always struggled. But refusing Six Business guys wanting to drink whiskey in their basement bar seems crazy when they had 5 people in the bar !!!! Good luck :) AK

Very expensive for just a drink 🍸

A lovely place and a fantastic experience made infinitely better by the Kyle, the cocktail master! He's the best and most professional drinkslinger I've ever had the pleasure of being served by.

Lovely place, brilliant cocktails, great atmosphere and above all, amazing staff and service. My friend became quite ill during our visit and the staff were so understanding and helpful, went above and beyond normal customer service to help us out. Can't thank them enough. Would give 10 stars if I could.

One of Norwich's classier establishments. Crowd is usually 25+

Excellent cocktails and brilliant service. The staff really went out of their way to ensure we had a great time

Just a nice place to drink and meet up x

My friends and I had the best time! We were served by friendly staff and the we thoroughly enjoyed the bottomless brunch! We'll definitely be back!

Always love coming here ... Staff are amazing

They clearly don't understand the meaning of smart casual.

Can’t wait to go back to Bond. A great place to meet, drink and eat- outside or in. Good selection of Spirits. Door staff welcoming. See you there

Great atmosphere and great drinks, highly recommended

We had a lovely evening here with great service and good food - an attractive and classy venue. We'll definitely be returning!

Amazing service and really friendly staff. Cant wait to go back. COVID safe and really made the night one to remember. The food was excellent and substantial.

"Wow wee!! Superb cocktails and really good service too" - edited since my last 2 visits, table service has been really slow, you have to almost wave for attention to order a drink, they are more interested in talking to their friends on tables tbh. Won't go again.

This place was fantastic, wonderful friendly staff, would definitely recommend it.

Don't know if it was because I was super drunk but the pizza was amazing. The cocktails we're killing it too maybe that has something to do with it.

Rum&whisky bar great place for a social drink

Great cocktails but ambiance a bit too country life for me.

Anna and Leon were so lovely! Best bar staff you could ask for. Great staff, definitely deserve a promotion! Good cocktail recommendations and sold is a good bottle of champagne! 5* xxxx

Great eatery! Several cuisines all under one roof and good value for money!

Nice cocktail bar, in a great setting, with an excellent garden terrace. I really enjoy visiting this spot in the heart of Tombland - it's elegantly decorated, with a modern, cosmopolitan feel to it. They serve a great selection of cocktails, made expertly by their bar staff. Although I haven't been to it, I also hear that the downstairs room is home to a whisky bar. Towards the back is a tranquil terrace garden fitted with rattan furniture, large sun shades and heaters for the winter - tucked away between the venue and neighbouring buildings, it feels like an untouched secret garden hidden in the middle of the city - captured really well! My only gripe, thus the 4 star review, is that often in the evening the music is played at a volume that doesn't suit the venue - it's a great setting to chat over tasty drinks, but with the music I often find myself shouting over it. Otherwise, excellent spot to visit for anyone in the area - highly recommended.

Excellent cocktails, nice decor, attentive staff and lovely outdoor area

Nice cocktail bar, the staff were friendly and helpful. Quite dear but was a nice place to visit.

Feels like a place chill and chat with friends. But music very loud. No one dancing.

My partner and I decided to go for pre-dinner drinks at Bond No. 28 on the recommendation of a friend. We were told we could sit outside and that someone would be out shortly to take our order. Long story short, we waited outside for 20 minutes without service. What was most frustrating was that tables around us were consistently checked in on and had new drink orders taken, all the while the hostess never acknowledged us. If you’re white and on a hen-do, or on a lads night out, you will get excellent service in this establishment. If you’re gay or black - not so much.

Very nice venue. Staff were excellent .

Friendly Staff... Enjoyable BBQ and mocktails.....😁😁

Each to there own..but we like it..not cheep..watch what you spend...enjoy..

Very smart and the service is good.

A bit more upmarket than other bars, great cocktails, friendly staff with table service if required, great pre club/ pre restaurant meeting place, recommended.

Amazing cocktails in a nice location we went in during happy hour by surprise

Stylish with a friendly atmosphere

A nicely decorated bar that's too small during the week and pretentious as hell. As someone who lives in London, I would never expect to pay £35.50 for 3 double G&T's in Norwich. Never again.
