Three Wise Monkeys Ipswich in Ipswich

They brew their own beer and have a good selection of others. Ask for a taste ...no problem. A very friendly bunch and a real nice place to spend a few hours. One of the top 10 places to go to in Ipswich.

Saturday 16th November 2024 This real ale come music venue in Ipswich we visited tonight there was a good range of hand pumped ales on The Beers were good standard and well kept this pub is a craft house also The pub is friendly, and it has a specific type of jazz styled music on tonight. It's a good one long roomed pub with pleasant bar staff

Holly was absolutely amazing and she completely made our experience, absolute credit to the company you're so lucky to have her. Thank you so much Holly ❤️ we really appreciate you xxx

Went for the all you can eat buffet BBQ service was amazing

Love it here! Finally a bar in Ipswich that does excellent IPA and NEIPA from their own brewery. Food is perfect to accompany the beer, lovely atmosphere and great staff. My new favourite place! 🙌

What a great find. Brilliant varied selection of beers, ales and ciders, nice size, very comfortable seating, good food deals. The beer and burger match day special at £15 is a great deal. Friendly for away fans, none of this "HOME FANS ONLY" nonsense. Had a brilliant time there. Would recommend. Thank you.

Lovely atmosphere- amazing food, fabulous service! Holly was so friendly and efficient. Will definitely come again!

First of all I liked to say a massive thank you to Holly, Geoff and Bevan. Service was absolutely amazing and she always had a smile on her face. Bottomless bbq was absolutely amazing and the dessert was so good. Massive thank you for the team who applied excellent service!!! 5/5!

Great lunch at the TWM in Ipswich for their annual Oktoberfest spread at this time of year. This is the third time we've made it. The food was delicious, and I enjoyed my stein of Hacker-Psorr. Great variety of Oktoberfest beers and lovely staff, as always

Lovely place. Good food and atmosphere. Nice staff that served us well. I was here with my father and son and they loved it too. We ate upstairs. Nice prices.

This was our 3rd year coming here for the Oktoberfest, we’ve enjoyed the German platter including bratwurst and schnitzel, and of course a stien of Paulaner :) thanks to our servers Dani & Gabi :)

Quick stop off on our way to see a show. Nice pint, good friendly service, and as it was a lovely evening, we sat outside. Would definitely call in again.

An excellent place for food, a cocktail or a decent beer that’s not your typical bland high street brand.

We had a fantastic time at the 3 wise monkeys. The bottomless bbq was absolutely fantastic and delicious, such good value for money! Alasdair, our waiter, was a complete star!

Had bottomless bbq. Was hot, all dishes was delicious, and varied. Excellent value for money. Yum yum.

Very nice food, server/waiter Alasdier was brilliant . The Brisket and the brisket sliders were definitely on my f the top dishes in my opinion.

Went midday on a match day for the all you can eat option -- super good food! The place was completely dead for a match day (as expected) but it was a very nice meal with lots of variety to eat

Alasdair and Danielle were absolutely great. Really attentive and the food was absolutely amazing. We did the all you can eat bbq and it was so good!

The food is lovely here and so much choice ! our server Gabbi was absolutely amazing & the service was great ! Would highly recommend this place.

Went here for a meal with work and it was good, they were accommodating to dietary requirements and I ordered the nachos, they were nice but could have been better if they put it under the grill to melt the cheese rather than just putting grated cheese on. The cocktail I had was good but they spilled a little bringing it to the table on the floor and by bag, they cleaned the floor but left it on my bag for me to clean with the napkin on the table.

Little choice on menu on Wednesday but burger was not bad

Went here with my work colleagues for the bottomless bbq, really friendly service and delicious food, highly recommend

Always a nice atmosphere, brilliant and friendly staff. Could definitely be more popular with a bigger number of seating.

Went last night for a bottomless bbq with some friends and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was excellent, good atmosphere and most importantly the food was delicious, with an excellent range of different meats. The sides were good too, particularly the mac and cheese.

Such a fantastic place, staff were really friendly, beer was incredibly cold and the food was another level

Visited 25/07/2024. Would 100% recommend! The chorizo mac & cheese, chicken wings and ribs are freaking amazing!! Great chilled vibe. Great choice of beers and ales, which the staff are super knowledgeable about. Can't wait to visit again.

Great food good selection of drinks friendly bar staff highly recommended!

What a great evening! Four of us basically had the restaurant to ourselves and the dedicated attention of Kieran who was a brilliant host. Very attentive to us and even took time to have a laugh. The guys in the kitchen did a brilliant job and the food was top notch.

Originally went in for drinks. Ended up having a meal too. Glad we did as the food was amazing. Thoroughly recommend trying this place and we will baklck soon. Staff and service was brilliant too.

We ate in the upstairs restaurant after having drinks in the bar (where we were served by a really friendly barman - who knew how to look after his customers!) Upstairs, we were looked after by Kieran, who was the epitome of a great host. He took our orders for drinks and gave us time to order our food. He even took time to have a little laugh with us. DEEP DOG!! He’ll know 🙂 The food arrived and we were not disappointed! Beef burnt ends, Spicy Chicken Thighs, Special Poutine and Chilli Ribs - the meat was cooked to perfection and everything was super tasty. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be coming back!

Service excellent , good recommendations and knowledgeable bar tender. Beers were lovely , food excellent and v affordable . Service always with a smile , and conveniently located with good comfortable decor and furnishing

Good range of beer. A bit too industrial for my liking, one for the youngsters.

Nice pub. Not very disabled friendly as toilets are on the bottom floor and no lifts. If you have mobility problems you would find it very hard.

BEST BOTTOMLESS IN IPSWICH!! Came in for a bottomless brunch and it was lush! Friendly, helpful and lovely staff. Amazing selection of draught drinks, gin and prosecco available, soft and hot drinks. This was explained to us from our server who was attentive, helpful and just plain cool tbf. We spoke to the Asst. Manager and General manager who were genuine, and enthusiastic about the vibe and vision they're selling. Absolutely awesome afternoon, thankyou!! BEST BOTTOMLESS IN IPSWICH

We had the Korean chicken burger, the beef brisket burrito and the nachos. The food was really good and we would definitely visit again.

A booked table of 5, had been set and reserved yet when I sat down the first thing that happened was I stuck to a sticky mess where previous spilt drinks hadn't been cleaned properly. Not just one patch but my whole side of the table. I member off staff came and cleaned the table but still missed the area so I did it myself. Then 2 of our parties drinks had flies in them, not once but every drink that arrived. Finally I ordered a whole rack of the Korean ribs, only to find on arrival although advertised as slow smoked and succulent they were dry and tasteless, I was so disappointed that a great ingredient could be so ruined by the re heating for service. I ate approximately half when the easter finally asked if everything was OK with the food. Now the 5 times ruined 'drinks were removes from the final bill, but I had to ask for the ribs to be discounted as they were basically inedible, they were half discounted. As a table of 5 we were highly disappointed by the whole experience and we would not be keen to return.

Nice place, tad expensive for drinks. Food was awful. Waited an age for my food and when it arrived I couldn’t eat it as it was saturated in salt. When I told the staff their reply was, “nothing to do with me!”

Quirky interior offering amazing food and an excellent selection of beers. They also offer the option of a third of a pint on most beers.

I loved the place, the service was friendly and quick. The food was spot on and the esthetic of the place was brilliant. I will be going back there no doubt and I'll recommend this place to anyone!

The wife and I came here for lunch last Sunday as it was a while we didn't come here for a nice meal. My hamburger was amazing, and the wife's roast was also delicious, with a special, unique smoked flavour. Our waiter was great, and very friendly, and my craft Vienna lager was lovely and refreshing. 5 stars for the 3 monkeys! That is 1.66 stars per monkey!

We had a great experience with a recent booking. We booked the Mezzanine area on the top floor for my brothers 40th, it was for a small gathering of around 30 people and this area was perfect. Booking process was easy and we're so helpful in all our questions, food was lovey and reasonably priced. Staff on the night were great aiding us in our drinks order and checking to make sure we had everything needed. Would definitely book again. Fantastic staff, great venue and good value.

Expensive for Ipswich but a nice place to sit for a beer. One of the guys' behind the bar comes across as a bit patronising and they're happy to charge premium prices but let kids run around screaming.

Really good food, great selection of drinks and a great ambience Would thoroughly recommend Service was also really good

first time I tried this place really delicious 😋

Great food and drinks! What really makes this pub is the service, props to Alfie on bar today really attentive and positive

Delightful little place, sort of establishment I would happily run myself, seperate function room from the main area, good selection of beverages

Great place for food and drinks. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent.

Good place with good range of beers

Strange encounter here. We came in for a couple of drinks with friends & I didn’t feel very well, my partner ordered a glass of water for me. I popped downstairs to the ladies and was in there for a couple of minutes. As I was washing my hands, a member of staff came in and started questioning me as if I had done something wrong, with a male bouncer standing behind her staring at me silently, it felt like he trying to intimidate me. I explained that I had a baby a few months ago & don’t go out much anymore that’s prob why I felt a bit unwell, but feel totally fine now. I wasn’t drunk, wasn’t falling over or causing any trouble, there was no need for him to be there, or the strange questions from her. We went home soon after as felt very confused & uncomfortable at what had just happened. Never had such a weird experience in any venue before.

Absolutely slaughtered by the time we got in there .. but we behaved and had a last pint of the night there

Good pub, good selection of drinks and decent friendly staff but can't help thinking the space on the ground floor isn't being used properly. Needs more small tables and less massive 6/8 seater tables

Lovely place. Great selection of drinks and really nice atmosphere 👌

We come here regularly before football games and are always well looked after. Good food good beer great staff

We go before football and have a butger chips and s pint for around £15 the food is always tasty and great value as well as this there is a great selection of beers

Main meals were brought out before the starters, orders were messed up, wrong food brought out. Food that was served was cold or under cooked. The staff clearly realised how poor everything was, as we were told we didn’t have to pay a penny for the food before we even complained. We were a party of ten people, it was the worst restaurant experience we have had and don’t think we will return.

We hired the mezzanine for end of term drinks. Staff were very helpful and everyone had a great time

Lovely pub, nice vibe, nice range of beer and ale. Can buy a 2/3 pint, or a 4 glass taster board. 🍻

Here for Christmas meal, enjoyed the food and being out. Surroundings are industrial , food great.

Came for the nachos, stayed for the chill ;)

Whilst I was a little sceptical about the quality of a bottomless brunch, this one was an unbelievable experience. The food was fantastic and all came out together even though there was 16 of us. Danielle behind the bar went above and beyond and made sure that our glasses never ran dry!! We had no negatives from our party and we definitely book again!

Nipped in for a drink whilst waiting for the bus, we had 20 mins. Lad behind the bar (dark hair, specs and checked shirt) this Sunday afternoon was alone. He made some guy a coffee that seemed to take forever, then some other lads (4 of them) asked for the samples of 4 beers, this took another huge Length of time, the bloke behind the bar hadn’t even acknowledged us or apologised at all, I watched him top up the glass but by the time he’s faffed and saved some beer in the kegs…. We had to leave so £10 walked out the door. I understand busy, but he needs to understand people won’t wait long. We deserve better. Will avoid

Came for a open mic night to support a freind, didnt have any food so can't comment on that, wide range of drinks/real ale which was a surprise for me. Music levels were just about spot on an could hear the artists clearly even over people talking. Can't wait to pop down again

Great selection of beers including a number of stouts!

Superb monthly quiz night as always. A very welcoming venue with a great choice of drinks and food.

A great bar in Ipswich with an excllent selection of beers. I Particually appreciate the German beers in October/November. The food is ok, not amazing, but if you want dinner and out with friends it is fine. I like the Garlic Sausage. For the price the portions could be a bit better though. The loyalty system is really generous and a rare thing to see. The staff are polite, it is clean and it always has a good 'vibe'.

On Fri 20th October 2023, I had my work leaving drinks. The staff were really helpful and always on hand. Everyone had a lovely time.

Had my leaving drinks on Friday the staff were really helpful. Everyone had a good time

Pleasant helpful staff, excellent pint of best bitter. Just a short visit as we were meeting friends elsewhere

We went to The Three Wise Monkeys for bottomless brunch, the food and service was fantastic and there's a great selection of draught beers and ales to choose from. We will definitely be going back.

Great food and drinks brilliant atmosphere and service was first class catering to all who was present

Excellent service and lovely beer!

The food is really good. Nice ales. Great place

Very enjoyable evening visit. Interesting selection of ales. We were not eating at the venue, but enjoyed the ambience and the beers. There are numerous attractions arranged for the benefit of punters, so we'll worth checking out. The funky disco started during our visit.

We visited to celebrate family birthdays. Arrived at 5pm and were the only guests in the upper dining room. There were only 2 or 3 senior staff on and the rest appeared to be trainees. We got drinks in reasonable time and then ordered our food. The main course took quite a while to arrive. Several meals included coleslaw which was very strange as it seemed like it had loads of ground pepper in it..... my meal was 'OK' (tempura vegetables, haddock burger) and just about warm enough to eat without complaint. Generally the food was enjoyed but nothing to write home about/special. It then took absolutely ages to get any further attention from the staff and I had to visit the bar and ask them to come over and take our order for puddings/sweets! Eventually got them ordered. They took quite a while to arrive (at this point there were still only TWO tables of visitors eating!!) Puddings/sweets were enjoyed, but again nothing special. After complaining about certain aspects of our experience, the lead waiter did give a discount on our bill to make up for it.... overall a pretty disappointing dining experience = won't be going back again :-(

Saturday night was was not busy waited 40 minutes for me and chips people chips were over seasoned houses beef burger was as cooked as I don't know what dry and bland

Thanks for looking after us, food and hospitality were fantastic

We had an awesome night here last night. To be fair we always enjoy the Three wise monkeys but the Middle Earth quiz was absolutley packed and what a great quiz it was. We had burgers which were excellent and my partner loves the East Coast IPA which they brew themselves. Indeed we were talking to a Scottish guy who I think is the new boss - he was telling us about some of the things he has planned like a mad quiz where you are competing directly against the other teams and no questions....I dunno if I got that right but sounded really cool :) Definitely up and coming place and really happy to see they are still trying and doing well when there s so much negativity and money is tight for everyone.

Great service, Kylies cocktails are amazing, service outstanding with great recommendations, and a warm welcome will be back 👍

Unfortunately the brisket wasn’t good… it was dry. Beer selection was good and the other meats were nice.

Cracking food, especially the dirty fries. Would recommend.

We popped in as the venue were advertising a beer festival. Despite nearly all the beer being IPA beer, most of it was in good shape although the strength of the beer was mostly around 4% abv so there wasn’t as much choice as we would have liked. Sadly there was not enough customers there today and that was disappointing for the staff because they clearly made an effort to organise this festival. We attempted conversation but the staff clearly weren’t there to engage or keep the few customers they did have, in for longer. A reflection of a chain pub rather than an independent I think. We also had a bite to eat and the was paid and purchased on their app. Here I admit we were really let down. The fries at £5 were extortionate, they were luke warm and covered in some sort of seasoning. The red slaw was just red cabbage swimming in flavourless gunk that resembled a soup rather than coleslaw. The small plate sausage my husband ordered was incredibly measly but it was pretty tasty. I had bao buns w pulled pork, they faired slightly better but the food bill alone was £30 which I think was robbery. When we were ready to leave the barman rushed over to ask if we wanted to pay for the drinks, a surreal experience as he behaved as if he thought we were going to leave without paying. I hadn’t even got up from my seat and it was completely obvious my husband wasn’t going to do a runner despite getting up front his seat, the reason for this will become clear. We were an ordinary couple enjoying an afternoon out. I have a disabled husband who hadn’t had a beer for months and his sober wife who drove in to town for an experience. We certainly got one. They may be used to drunk runaway customers but we certainly not that and that behaviour was uncalled for. We will never ever go back.

Food is great quality, but they forgot my drink with the order.

Nice quiet (at least when I was there) pub. Great beer and gin selection. Very friendly staff, and not mind blowingly expensive, either. Their barbecue menu looked extremely good, but we didn't try it (too early to eat). I like the place a lot, and will be visiting again. Recommended. 👍👍👍

Great pub, good selection.of real ale and lagers, food is good with decent portions

Brilliant dinner here the other evening lovely meaty menu with lots and lots of combinations available allowing you to really pick out the perfect meal for you The food is solid and the portions are incredibly generous Definitely will swing by again if I find myself back in Ipswich

Food was just hideous! If I could leave a picture I would!

Will not be going back for food... Having been to the Colchester Three Wise Monkeys I was looking forward to this. I had a booking for 9 people, we all ordered however when the food started arriving there were multiple dishes coming out that we had not ordered. The waiter kept asking whose they were and stood there with them despite us saying they were not what we ordered. We all knew what we had ordered however he printed the long receipt of starters, drinks and mains and made us trawl though the list (whilst out food was on the side going cold) to work out what mains we had ordered. We found that there were more main dishes than people and when we said this to him he said "oh maybe it's my fault". When the correct food arrived it wasn't great... My chicken burger appeared and tasted to have been cooked at the local crematorium...

Best pub in Ipswich. Centrally located. 3 foors. With Gin bar downstairs. Live music ground floor and food upstairs. Great grill menu,and great selection of ale's and craft beers. Large and very popular.

can’t comment on the food but i was impressed with the choice of craft beers and ales. The 80s cover band they had playing on Saturday evening was superb

Always reliably tasty…great food.

Spent evening with friends, served good food & spirits 👍🏻

Superb atmosphere, great beers.

Better selection of beer in Colchester

Nice layout, good bands, good range of beers - just ridiculously expensive

We had an amazing bottomless brunch here! Kylie went above and beyond to make sure our drinks were always topped up! Amazing friendly service. Will definitely be returning 🤩

Food arrived cold. 2 big lumps of fat pork chips burnt.

Couldn't have had a nicer evening! Food was extremely tasty and reasonably priced, staff were lovely (including the door staff), wide range of drinks available and an overall brilliant atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!

Few work bevvies, and it was cool! Bar staff are friendly, chatty, funny and recommended me beers to drink! :)

Disappointed with quality and quantity of chips and the slaw was missing from our order.

Service is friendly if a little inconsistent. Food takes a long time to come out, but when it does, it's fantastic. Reckon we caught them on a bad night, so looking forward to going back soon.
