Isaacs On The Quay in Ipswich

Very busy place, service slowish, food tasted a bit too clean, but I enjoyed it with my friends

No photos of the pub sorry but a wonderful place. Large but with many rooms / open spaces so you never feel overwhelmed. And if you want a romantic corner, there are many of those so don't be put off by the size.

Really good place food was nice and we were served promptly. There was something on the menu for everyone

Lovely place on the water, best place in marina

Stopped off for a drink. OK, early evening, so couldn't t really comment on the atmosphere

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Haven't been for years and with softer furnishings in the courtyard it has given it a more chilled vibe imo. It wasn't overly busy so getting served wasn't an issue.

Great location, poor beer selection! Still worth a visit, if in Ipswich tho!

Very nice burger and chips. Sat at a table facing the water front. Nice place to chill for a while before continuing shopping.

First time here food good view wonderful

I often visit on a Sunday afternoon. During the Summer the outdoor area is usually packed. Plenty of seats available inside though. Usually live music from 3pm, which is loud if your sitting near it, its great but you won’t be able to hear each other, if you’ve visited for a chat. Food is alright, I’ve had the Ham & Cheese Panini a few times, it comes with crisps, £8ish (Pictured) I think you can swap the crisps for chips for an additional £1.50. Pink Gin & tonic, about £6.50. My friend had cod and chips. The cod was large & lovely! Pint of Orange Juice £3.50, there was also the option for half a pint of orange juice. Issacs sell my favourite Prosecco. The small individual bottles and the regular sized bottles. Now, I love that they do this, but it’s very expensive! I had a small bottle back in 2022 and it was £9. It’s not cheaper to get the large bottle either. All in all a great location, great views, but usually rather busy, so not the place to go if you’re looking for a quiet weekend drink.

Came here a few years back and had a wonderful time so thought we would com again with friends, seems you can’t employee people around these parts as the bar was ten deep so many people were complying we ended up waking out. Quite embarrassing! Note to pub, look at the football fixtures and book staff accordingly. Our friends won’t be taking my tips for out next day out. Very badly run!

had a fantastic Sunday afternoon there all very friendly food is fabulous staff can't do enough for you

Disliked that they only accept card payment

Lovely pub with food available. Nice location too. They don’t take cash though, just so you are prepared.

One of the best-known pubs on the Waterfront, always busy and with great live music some weekends. The perfect place to look out on the boats and people watch, especially on a sunny afternoon. Quite expensive, hence 4 stars.

Over the last decade or so we have always stopped here, either for an early morning breakfast, lunch, dinner and/or drinks in the evening; or a night out! It's big enough to have a quiet meal or step outside and enjoy a friendly atmosphere of people enjoying themselves; great for relaxing and watching the boats and people walk by. It's also thankfully family friendly up to early evening.

Bit noisy for a 75 year old but we did enjoy the Friday night when it was less noisy snd we could hear each other when we were talking.

fantastic breakfast well worth a visit

Football, Beer and ABBA what more would you want

Informed when ordering that the waiting time for a toast breakfast would take between 30 to 45m. Really!!!! Decided to go with a quick pastry that was bad or not fresh. Bad experience

Enjoyed a great night at Isaacs Friday 16th August. Travelled from Liverpool for the game. Lovely place, good atmosphere and excellent staff making you welcome. Went back again the following morning, again great atmosphere mixing with Ipswich supporters before the game. How match days should be. 👍👏.

Always great to visit, particularly if you sit outside in the summer months or, are part of a large group as there is plenty of space all round. There are multiple bars so never much of a wait and, food is reasonable for a pub!

Had a great lunch here staff were as great as always and always a lovely view of the marina.

I wait 1:30 minutes for food and they lied about the time

£37 for Frixenet prosecco is ridiculous...if your going to rob us at the bar at least provide something I can't find in my local tesco for a fraction of the price. Service is slow. Lively atmosphere but won't be rushing back...better places to go in town.

Good bar, in a nice location right on the waterfront. Always busy during peak times. Drinks are on the pricier side but there's always a good atmosphere here.

Nice to sit and have a coffee with a view over the Quay just watching the world go by. Also good some nights with entertainment. Good range of drinks on offer.

Very popular venue. Lovely friendly people.

Great place to be, and down on the waterfront.

Thus place is amazing with lots of nooks and crangs to suit every where. Staff were amazing even though they were having to deal with immense heat and lots of people. Service was amazing and so was the food.

Was there Sunday, nice meal service slow, had main, then the server ask us if we wanted a desert, yes we replied she said b back In a minute, 30 minute s later she never arrived so we paid and left, so left very unhappy, certainly won't return to the marina. The whole place needs a good clean up what a waste of 100 mile round trip very disappointing all round.

A nice pub bar establishment especially on a sunny afternoon. I prefer it when it's not overly busy. I was there on a Thursday evening which was fine for me. A pre drink venue before heading off into the town for food.

Brilliant place to go for breakfast. The service can sometimes be a little slow to place an order based on the popularity, and the price gap between a small breakfast and a big breakfast should probably be tweaked a little, but the ingredients are good, food is fresh, always nicely cooked and very reasonably priced.

Accessibility wise, you can get into the first part of the venue and there is an accessible toilet. However I did find this part of the building quite chilly as you can't really get away from the door opening and closing. We ordered at the bar and waited 40 minutes before asking what was happening and someone came to our table to explain the system has been failing and loosing orders. We weren't the only ones this had happened to as another customer behind us was also asking where their order was. Staff offered a drink, we had to get one to take away as we needed to be somewhere and said our food would be with us in four minutes. Luckily I was and the food was got and delicious but we had to rush as needed to leave and I didn't have time to finish all of mine. Lovely food just a big shame about the service. They knew the system had been failing so maybe take orders a different way until that is sorted.

Nice spacious bar by the waterfront. Lots of TV screens for sports which is a plus.

Waiting in queue for 4 hours!!!!!!!!!!!

Great (vegan) breakfast. Great coffee. Lovely golden oldies music. We will certainly return here.

We ordered at the bar and waited nearly an hour for food as the system wasn't logging food orders properly, we were given a bottle of water as compensation for the wait. The food was very good once it arrived.

Stopped in for a coffee and pastry. Great views of the Marina.

Urinals with a tv screen backdrop. Like to think I helped to dump Italy out of the European Cup 🤣🤣🤣

Atmosphere looks to be amazing on the quayside went in to have some refreshments but unfortunately they are a cashless bar....no way of taking cash payments so they have lost my custom,and will continue to do so.

Went for breakfast this morning, ordered quickly at the counter, very good value, very pleasant staff, had a laugh and a joke, breakfast was decent and arrived 10 minutes later. Meal and coffee good. A slice of black pudding would have made it perfect.. Look forward to calling in again. Thanks.

Fabulous location on the marina, good selection of beers and even a few vegan options on the menu. Friendly helpful staff and great outside seating. Pleasant.

Good place by the quay , picturesque with lots of different bars and seating option. Price point a bit high and the variety is not the best compared to other places but well worth a visit in my opinion. Great vibe for sports .

Staff were happy to be of service, there was an upbeat ambiance and the food had some vegan and vegetarian options too.

Can be very busy and noisy but then again that could be just my old persons view 🤣 Bar service was pretty good though

Staff friendly, good food and drink quirky building giving interesting information and objects on display regarding its heritage lovley place .

Nothing special food OK service ok very average but certainly not bad 😉

Drinks good quality and reasonable. Food looked good

All the staff it was alright but a old man from the staff was shouting and rude towards us telling me and my group of friends to leave the premises knowing that we ordered drinks. “Because he can’t deal with us”

Nice place, nice food. A little awkward that you have to order food and drink separately, but didn't detract from the visit.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon. Only two out of the three meals we ordered were served. After asking multiple times what was going on just ended up getting a refund for the last one and left as everyone else had finished eating and had there plates cleared.

Always great atmosphere. Best pub in Ipswich

Breakfast - standard fare done well.

Excellent management and a great place to have a drink on the waterfront. Food is good quality and well priced. For some reason I got served an otherwise great posh fish finger sandwich [Cod goujons in ciabatta] on garlic bread??? Which was a bit odd! But beer is well priced, and service is fast and the place is clean, friendly, safe and a great venue👍

Had breakfast here. Service a little slow but good good and staff polite. Lovely setting. Also got married here and loved or day

Didn't try the food, great atmosphere.....

Asked for a bottle of wine only to have the whole bottle dumped unceremoniously into two flimsy plastic cups. This was a pre supper drink on a Saturday evening. Can only assume from this that the place is dangerous, despite the several security people being in attendance.

Really nice boozer, nice courtyard inside. Tiny bars though so when busy takes an age to get served

Great meeting up with folk place with lovely views

Ok for a quick drink . Limited menu .

Didn't eat here but the place looked very warm and inviting, we just had a drink

Visited before watching Ipswich played. Food just what was required.

Great bar. Wheelchair ♿️ friendly. We didn't eat but all the meals that came out looked amazing, large portions, pub grub. Some good gluten free options that I could have gone for. Went on a Sunday afternoon for the live music by Undercover, they were excellent. Brilliant classic rock. Loved the courtyard which is perfect in nice weather.

Another lovely full English at Isaacs Coffee Tavern. Open from 8am every morning.

Called in for a quick bite to eat and a coffee after a walk along the Quay. Very nice coffee and and soup.

Useless on a game day. 8 deep at the bar with only 2 people serving. Great breakfast though.

What a lovely place Definitely coming back

Quite uninspiring service, disinterested in customers

Lovely place , great staff, only reason I gave 4 star was because of some loud offensive group in there which wasn't the places fault,but will definitely be back.... thank you 😊

Good place to meet up. Large enough to be busy without overcrowding

Love this place, great atmosphere on a night time

Delicious full English breakfast, good service would recommend

I ordered the vegan bacon and cheese chips but I was given chicken chips!

Stayed on the terrace in a bubble, food not really great, few choices only. Orders only at the bar.

It was the first pub I stopped at on my trip to Ipswich because the setting is beautiful, next to the promenade and the boats. There is no table service, you have to go in, order and take it out yourself. We were charged £11 for a single cider, the rest of the trip we paid between £4 and £5 for the same brand of cider. I think that the place, the cleanliness and the service are not enough to pay that outrageous price.

Love the place, good service and what a view.

Feels very similar to a Wetherspoons.

The service was very good they were very helpful and clean the food was excellent quality 👌 👍

Nice view of the pier, nice space, and big portions!

We visit here quite a bit when we visit Ipswich.They serve all drinks in plastic glasses which you get used to. Service is good especially when it's match days.

Very happy to have stumbled onto this lovely bistro. Quite unassuming from the outside but cosy and stylish inside, just what we needed on a drizzly Feb day. We just wanted a light lunch and luckily the brunch menu was still available. We both went for the club sandwich and a side of triple cooked chips to share. Absolutely delicious, and the fact the bread was soft foccaccia made it much easier to eat!

cute bar with decent outside seating

Would like to thank all the staff involved with making my daughters 21st a night to remember, first class food and staff thanks Tony

Nice place for drinks before dinner

Great food Service excellent Spectacular views too

Fantastic place, show Sports which is a bonus. Food was fantastic for the money (not cheap or expensive). The only odd thing is the staff don’t give you cutlery/napkins etc and instead point you to where they are. Most other places would bring cutlery etc to the table. Also there’s signs all over the place telling you to order via their website. Said website was down and I had to order at the bar. When I told the girl at the bar the website was down she said they do it on purpose on a Saturday which is fair enough but it wouldn’t take long to take those signs down on a Saturday instead of me bashing my phone thinking it was that for 10 mins.

Just watched the football ⚽️ Very large TV.

Good overall place , food good and service good even at busy times , reasonably priced and good atmosphere

Very nice place, staff welcoming & excellent service. Food & drinks were excellent.

Nice location to have a drink. I went to my parents Xmas party here. Unsure of the price of a pint of beer. As I said a lovely location for a few drinks

Beautiful venue by the waterside we spent the afternoon here before going to see a show at the regent. We had a meal and drinks. The food was a great, friendly staff , lovely family atmosphere. With all ages enjoying their selfs.

Card only bar but nice atmosphere. Large open to the skies area. Door staff really kind and friendly.

We've been here hundreds of times over the years we lived in Ipswich. It is a fantastic place for food and drinks. There are so many different parts of the building to sit in, whether you just want a quiet corner or going with a group. There is plenty of space inside and out. This occasion we went in for snacks during an afternoon out and only chose to have nachos as something light, but as usual, they bring out a massive portion. No photos, unfortunately, but believe me when I say I couldn't eat it all. I love this place all year round, and it's one of the many things I miss about dining out in Ipswich.

We whent on a Cold and windy day Tuesday at 12 lunch time not bizzey but the staff very up deat and friendly.and food was delicious and surprised how resanabil priced it was

Lovely place to relax and have a good meal. Loved eating out in one of the Pods. Polite staff and lovely views.

Great place, food was really good and plenty of screens for sport. Highly recommended.

Really lovely venue on the waterfront. Large courtyard with umbrellas and heating, lots of little snugs and rooms. Something to suit everyone

Small menu, little choice. The batter on our fish was so overcooked.

Shame about the smoke from another table which set one of our party coughing!
