The Oddfellows Arms Gorleston in Great Yarmouth

Very unassuming outwardly, until you find the entrance at the back. Walk in to the "Backstage entrance" a courtyard sheltered from the wind, and enter the bar to find live music, (Sunday). Drinks are relatively inexpensive and a very nice, friendly atmosphere.

Friendly traditional pub serving good real ale. Nice atmosphere. Open mic nights are a treat, particularly with the house band. Ken the landlord is a first rate guitarist.

Really nice little pub, pleasant atmosphere and a good selection of beers. Live music Sunday afternoons. Just far enough off the beaten track to not be overly busy. Definitely worth a visit 🙂

Great atmosphere and music on a Sunday afternoon.

Real Pub and real people! Very relaxing and friendly. Wished we found this little pub at the beginning of holiday, we will be back and thank you 👍

Clean. Sharp. Quick service. No BS!

Great traditional pub. Good selection of beers, ciders and ales. Good atmosphere would recommend.

Went with friends, good atmosphere and friendly service

Sunday night is Open Mic Night at the Oddfellows Arms. You never know who is going to turn up and play, but enough capable and competent virtuosos come along to make each Sunday night more special than the last. Amateurs and first-timers are also welcome, and everyone gets applause. You might recognise some of the songs, but there's enough talent there to improvise and make up solos, endings, and mash-ups entirely on the spot. Only last week, for instance there was a lengthy guitar duel between two of the most talented electric guitarists on the East Coast. No rehearsals, the guys just agreed on a key and tore it up in turns, while a drummer marked the time. It was jaw-dropping stuff. People will be talking about that night for months. Sunday night at the Oddies is far and away the best night of free entertainment in the Great Yarmouth area. The beer is good - the Grain beer 316 at £4 a pint is wholly recommended - and card payment is accepted. Parking can be a bit tight, so park you car in the Beach Road area and hop up the steps. See you there!

A delightfully relaxed pub with really good beer! If you can find the door! 🤭

Really good pub Very friendly staff and customers Good beer Worth a visit

Clean, tidy and very friendly, a really nice atmosphere. I will definitely be going back.

Great pub with excellent selection of locally sourced ales. Good wine selection, excellent gin selection. Sunday is open mike night and quality of local talent is exceptional...all backed up with in house musicians who can play along to pretty much anything! And to top it off, staff are friendly, efficient and courteous; great place.

Sunday night open Mike night. Awesome night had

Great pub specially on a Sunday early evening for live music

Lovely pub feeling, proper character, lovely pint and made to feel welcome. Love the Oddies'

I like this pub very much staff friendly. Clean and tidy and live music. Good beer. What more could you ask for ?

Real ale fans and drinkers will like local atmosphere, not a place for yuppies and foodies

Friendly little pub with a lovely garden and good range of beers. Dog friendly peeps.

Great pub with a lovely beer garden and friendly staff. beer prices are what you'd expect for the area

What a fabulous pub, so friendly and fun

Most importantly, don't drive past the front door and think it is shut, as I did several times before discovering the entrance was via the back in a separate road. When you find it you will be rewarded by a tardis-like pub and garden space offering some great cask ales and a lively atmosphere.

Just found a little piece of heaven sooo friendly and I mean staff and customers will most definitly be back again and again see you there!!!

Really friendly pub staff marvellous enjoyed my visit and will go again. Pub was very crowded staff as usual very friendly it was very clean tables etc;

The best real ale pub in Gorleston. Very welcoming

Best ales in town and great jam sessions on Sunday afternoons

Great pub, nice friendly staff. Will be going back.

Proper pub,friendly warm atmosphere.

Really is a proper pub! Cosy, comfortable surroundings, chatty, friendly and informed landlord. Plenty of choice for beer on pump and on tap and warm atmosphere. My favourite.

Friendly local tucked away a short stroll from Gorleston's beach.

My favourite pub in Gorleston. Dog friendly, great music and fabulous staff. ♥️

A smashing pub, welcoming staff and great choice of real ales 👍

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great music from Alaska band, definitely be back ⭐

Great pub, great staff, great atmosphere, and the beer is great too

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the landlord! Went in on a pub crawl and I quote "We're not this sort of pub, we don't let people like you lot in here" .. Would never recommend!

Lovely staff Went in last Saturday night very good

Great locals pub, Variety of ales and other beers. Excellent team / service

Social distancing brilliant. Good out door space. Good draft beer. Landlord and Staff know how to look after you. Would recomend. Opens at the moment Wednesday to Sunday 1400hrs - 2230hrs.

Great pub, great beer good times

Real Ales great hosts and lovely people

We have eaten here before & during the Covid times & have nothing but praise for all at Oddfellows. They only know one way to treat customers & that is SUPERBLY!!

Friendly hosts, good beer.great atmosphere.

Excellent Friendly Local with a friendly atmosphere and very good quality Ale. The Oddfellows Arms sells a very good range of Ales & Lagers & strongly supports local Brewers and Distillery’s. They also have a very good selection of Gins. Due to the current restrictions they are taking Covid-19 very seriously and have very good social distance measures in place. On a few occasions this has meant that some people have been turned away, due to the capacity being filled.

Only allowed in “people they recognise”. I was here two weeks ago and was allowed in. If you haven’t been here before there is no point going now.

We come here for a two week holiday each year and have done for 15 years. We found this lovely little pub years ago but on our last visit it was very clicky and we felt unwelcome and had one drink and left

Sat outside with friends on a nice sunny day, the beer garden is clean with plenty of chairs and tables and a great sun trap. Staff friendly and place clean and tidy. Covid 19 regulations being followed,track and trace, signs etc, nice well run pub.

I really liked this place - the pubs around Gorleston are a bit hit and miss but this had a friendly feel about it. I like the fact that the front is a bit locally and the back more relaxed.

Lovely old pub, the last on Cliff Hill now, with friendly helpful staff. Serving a range of Lacons real ales and keg craft ales along with at least one guest ale. Usual range of lagers etc Live music acts occasionally so i was informed.

Had a drink and meal early evening. Love this place very dog friendly. Even gave my puppy a drink. Food was lovely. Staff very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend

This is a great traditional style pub with a great selection of real ales. Live music at the weekend and occasionally acoustic nights midweek. Well worth a visit.

this is one of the best pubs I know in England great staff great real ale and wine and great music love it

if you like a friendly place with great real ale and wine this is the place to go .we have been here and the staff are the best great pub in the old fashiond way

Excellent pub!!, friendly Landlord, Staff & Locals, with a good selection of Real Ale & in the CAMRA Good Beer guide for 2017/18, and a great selection of all regular beers. Live music at Weekends with a band or soloist on a Saturday & its a Jam session with some very good players on Sunday, they also have a Quiz night once a month on a Wednesday with a great midway buffet, so all in all a great local pub!!

A nice cosy, friendly local pub, that offers a good selection of beers, wines, spirits etc. Nice friendly staff , the place was clean and comfortable. We went here for a quiz night , and the buffet was great. A nice local pub. Parking may be a problem, but just walk or get a taxi. Dont drink & drive.
