Tipsyjar in Norwich

Lovely welcome. Sadly drinks took an age to come - it was only a pint and a cocktail. Forgot our waters too. Hopefully better next time.

Always a fun place for a cocktail. The DIY element adds a novel touch. Their Norwich Cocktail week signature drink was a Coleman's mustard and pickle juice cocktail. I had to try it and can honestly say I'm glad it's not going to be a regular thing. Happily the Tipsy Jar house cocktail we had next was as delicious as ever......

Really enjoyed our first visit here but our next one not so good. We waited to be seated while they cleaned a table for us which wasn't an issue. We were shown to our table downstairs and told someone would be down to take our order, after waiting about 15/20 mins the waitress arrived just to inform us that two large parties have just arrived and there's at least a 30 min wait for drinks. 30 minute wait for a glass of wine and a pint of lager, we decided to leave. Such a shame this time as its a really nice place. Hopefully better if we decide to try again.

"The best cocktail bar in Norfolk", as voted by an experienced cocktail sampler (me)

We held a society event here last night and Mia as well as all of that staff were so helpful and fun. The drinks were amazing and we felt so welcomed ! Highly recommend for events , Thankyou Mia 💞

What a fabulous place! All of the staff were SUPER lovely and helpful with choosing cocktails. The menu is so varied, there is truely something for everyone and they are brilliant value. We tried a few and they were all delicious. Lovely cosy, chilled out bar. Will absolutely be back - lots!

Really nice friendly staff, a massive menu with so much choice with something for everyone! The concept was great- being able to make your own cocktail is really fun and the cocktails are such good value and really unique. Will definitely be returning.

Brilliant place, young lady who served us the cocktails was really knowledgeable and recommended based upon our tastes. When they came…. Possibly the best I’ve seen and I’ve travelled a lot. Mine came along in a screw top jar and had smoke billowing around the top. Once stirred and poured into the glass it was a delight.

Great atmosphere with delicious cocktails served in a quirky jam jar. Shake it up yourself and enjoy with friends. Reasonably priced given you have at least two cocktails in each jar.

My nightclub days are firmly a memory from the early 1980's, Samson, Cromwells, Scamps etc. So as a 60+ being asked on a 'hen do' was somewhat a little daunting. However, we are meeting at a place called the Tipsy Jar so was happy to give it a go. I am happy to report that it was a pleasant experience and laughs along the way. It is not the most accessible establishment for those with mobility issues.

Could do with some music and little more atmosphere, limited snack choice, good cocktail/drink choices, friendly accommodating staff

Very mixed feelings about our visit here this weekend. The drinks themselves were delicious, I tried a few of my friends as well as my own and they were all stunning!! We were a large group of 20, and there was a problem with our booking. We were given a table downstairs which we made work and were grateful to the staff who made it happen. We were also given a complimentary shot and small cocktail for the bride to be to compensate for the inconvenience. We did however have to wait a long time to be served. Half the table had drinks within the first 30mins, but some of us were waiting over an hour before our drinks arrived. We then had to drink up quickly before moving on as we had a dinner table booked elsewhere. It was a shame as the drinks were lovely!

Hi just popped in on an off chance they had a spare table. Yes we were lucky. Amazing cocktails and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Great fun 😁

fab little cocktail bar with a really unique idea and fun presentation. good price too!

has potential, but when we visted the male toilets were in a terrible state, flooded water on floor, black mold on walls etc. dirt on seats, just not acceptable in this day and age.

It was fine but a little disappointing. Service was slow and they were missing ingredients for some cocktails. Also, personally I'm not a fan of Christmas trees and Christmas music mid November.

Decided to go for cocktails on a Saturday night, was absolutely delightful with fast service for it being quite busy and the atmosphere was lively but could still talk being candle lit was lovely. We will definitely be returning for more. Note that you only have the table for a couple hours but all we needed.

We were a party of 9 and ordered drinks separately and at different times so order wasn't to big. Waited 20 minutes for a pint. Slow service. Asked if my pint was coming and got a very Kurt reply. Staff need to be more friendly. Nicely decorated and cocktails are tasty. Be prepared to wait.

Good cocktails great experience and good beers.

If you want a cocktail this is the place to go

As we arrived the doorman was not very friendly just barked have you booked? Was off putting from the start. Went in was told we could not have any cocktails with cream as run out of cream ( they were not allowed to go to the shop a few doors down we were told by staff) our first drinks were lovely. The second was was dreadful which was an espresso martini very light in colour and not much white on top ( after the staff did it at the table ) most people left after one drink and a table of 8 got up and walked out before buying a drink. Closes at 12pm but staff putting chairs on top of tables whilst we were still there at 11.35pm. Would not go again . Shame

This is a favourite spot for both myself and my girlfriend. There is a great range of unique drinks and the themed menus are always on point. The atmosphere is always chill and a good place to catch up with friends. The jars are all around £12-14 and this will cover two cocktails drinks. The staff are always lovely, the services is swift and the staff have good knowledge of the cocktails.

Great cocktails Lovely bar and great service

Great spot with amazing cocktails Better experience than other cocktail bars and at 2 cocktails in a jar for £12 would definitely head back

Really nice place with a cool idea

Amazing bar !! Such friendly people and a really atmospheric place. My girlfriend and I went to celebrate our anniversary, and after a mix up they offered us a free glass of Prosecco which was lovely. Queer approved and friendly !! Slay for pride month !! Both the cocktails we picked were so delicious and unique. All lovely staff who are so friendly and welcoming. 11/10 from Taylor and Bibi, will be back! 🫧🌟🩵🍸🥂

The cocktail was awesome, can't wait to go back , staff were excellent

Really love this place. Fun mixing up your own cocktails and they taste fantastic! Jars come with 2 servings so perfect for sharing or mox and matching with friends. Nice atmosphere and staff really friendly too. Recommend booking a table to avoid being disappointed

Wow .simply wow. Book early for the table.. decor stunning and staff amazing

My review is based purely on my experience as a wheelchair user. The bar itself is lovely and the drinks menu is fab, great value and very tasty cocktails. Sadly, like many places in the UK, this venue is not very accessible for wheelchair users or anyone with mobility difficulties. There's a HUGE step at the entrance, with no way of alerting the staff that youre even there unless you're with an able bodied person who can go in to ask for a ramp. Not that there's a ramp anywhere to be seen, so my options were limited! A member of staff did suggest that they lift me in, but a)I'm pretty sure your staff aren't qualified in moving and handling, and not insured to manually haul people in, and b) its really quite scary to have to trust people to lift me up in the air, especially when they don't know how tippy my chair is and how to hold it properly - I'm not as light as I look! Its generally not great having to be manhandled just to have a few drinks with friends, something that only disabled people really have experience of. There is an accessible toilet though, which seems a bit strange when it's so difficult for disabled people to get in, but i guess buildings regs said you have to have it. There's also a pretty dangerous trip hazard on the slightly raised table area right in front of the door/bar - nothing to alert people there's actually a 'lip' to be aware of. I saw at least 2 people trip on this. Such a shame that so many lovely places like this are so difficult to navigate when you can't walk. Much more needs to be done about this!

It's had a refresh since it was the Tap House, and is looking better for it. It was our final stop of the night so only had the one cocktail but it was superb. Will definitely pop back to sample more!

Lovely cosy decor and drink were lovely and for £12 a jar which makes 2 cocktails was very good value for money, Ryan our waiter was really welcoming and friendly!

Amazingly unique and fabulous drinks

Stumbled on this little jem by chance, wandering the city before our meal looking for somewhere quirky to get some great cocktails. Neither of us had wandered the paths of many, for a very long time. Having been turned away from the first venue ,due to too many people at the bar ( But it's January, i say there's lots of people out for January). It's nice... Anyway, back to the stumble. Walked in and stood froze for a while as the front of house asked if we'd booked I asked if it was OK to just come in for a drink. Of course, she said it's a cocktail bar!.. Table for 2? Please... Follow me... Downstairs, we were taken into a cosy norfolk brick red walked cellar. A polite young lady took our order and came back with the jars and other ingredients and gave an explanation of how to shake, and pour each different cocktail. Relaxed atmosphere, Friendly, polite, staff. A well recommended bar to go

Brilliant drinks, great prices, friendly atmosphere. Really enjoyed the process of making drinks ourselves, overwhelmed with a big menu of amazing tasting drinks. Music was low enough that you could carry conversations and still enjoy yourself. Great for small to medium-sized groups. Definitely coming back here.

Such a fun concept been here a few times over summer and ordered the at home cocktails in covid. The jar for 2 cocktails makes its so affordable as well and it’s so fun to do with friends or as a date idea. The fact the menu changes regularly is great as well and the secret mentions word search is another fun touch. Staff clearly know what they’re talking about and can make amazing recommendations depending on what type of cocktails you like. Decor is lovely as well. Only criticism is I wish it was open day times on Sundays and earlier in the day on weekdays or Fridays!

I visited Tipsy jar at the weekend and I absolutely loved it! The drinks are so nice and at a really good price. Nice atmosphere and really friendly & helpful staff. When they bring over your cocktails they tell you what everything is, how long to shake your cocktail for and how to assemble it. Cannot fault, will be coming back here for sure ☺️

Been a few times and always enjoyed going. There is a great selection of cocktails and whisky. Worth a visit!

Beautiful cocktails and the service was brilliant.

A fab place to go with friends for drinks with a difference. Lots of different options to choose from. The waitresses were really helpful and welcoming. We were presented our drinks on a tray and each given cool shakers to mix and pour our drinks... just a clever novelty and we really enjoyed making our own drinks! Would definitely go back, but would recommend to book ahead!

A fantastic cocktail bar, with great value and amazing staff.

Fantastic bar. Fantastic cocktails. Really enjoyed this bar and the garnish your own cocktail concept. Would go back.

Lovely place! Went here with my partner to find a delightful queer-friendly environment with welcoming staff - great cocktails!

I have been to Tipsy Jar a fair few times since it’s opening in October 2021, it is easily one of my favourite bars in Norwich. The bar is always busy and the atmosphere is great! You get two cocktails in a jar for £12, £6 a cocktail is such good value for money. The menu is varied and the staff are so good at offering recommendations.

gorgeous bar, very friendly staff & incredible cocktails - definitely coming back soon!

Not only are the cocktails presented in such unique and fun ways, they're some of the best tasting I've ever had! The staff couldn't be any nicer and friendlier and with such a warming atmosphere it's somewhere you'd want to go again and again and again

It was an OK drink, it was sweet and tasted of coffee. It would cost you an absolute fortune to get tipsy.

Really reasonable prices, cute atmosphere and so much fun! Really friendly and helpful staff

Drinks menu, presentation and drinks are excellent, bit pricy but probably worth it. Sat outside, doorman very fussy, interfering with all customers, spoilt the experience.

Love this place!. Every cocktail I have tried - and there has been many) have been fantastic. The staff are all friendly & efficient, and the atmosphere is fab. Overall a great experience.

Amazing drinks, amazing service, amazing time

Wonderful cocktails here, and edible sand too! The place is lovely and we've been a few times, usually on a Friday or a Saturday and although they are busy, Zelda always looks after us brilliantly and makes us feel very welcome :) Zelda also makes amazing cocktails :):):)

Popped into the Tipsy Jar for the first time and I've never been so impressed with a cocktail bar! The selection is genuinely unique and not repetitive like all other cocktail bars. Lovely aesthetic and I can see why it's so popular! But I want to mention our server, Kat especially. I have never come across a server with so much charm and personality and I've worked hospitality for 13 years! She honestly made our night out that extra bit special and we will 100% be back for a second round! 10/10, Top tier! Xx

Nice cocktails, fun vibe, a little sassy service (not sorry I asked for the different style of glasses)

Pricey, but excellent cocktails

The fact we got to do our own cocktails with the mix they provide us makes this experience so much more fun! I would definitely come back here again!

Excellent service and great cocktails.

Not only the best cocktail bar in Norwich, but the best the city has ever had IMHO! Interesting and delicious cocktails made with high quality ingredients, served in style and £12 for 2 all day every day. It's top quality and permanently happy hour in a comfortable central location. My recommendation is skip dessert and head straight here after dinner.

Great cocktails, lovely staff, definitely a unique drinking experience

Harriette was great, happy and enthusiastic.

Fun concept, nice drinks menu. Excellent service, really welcoming and efficient.

A nice place & good service. A bit expensive though.

Had a great time and good value for money. Would highly recommend and will be returning

Great concept, lovely atmosphere and good prices. A bit of an eggy smell at a point on the stairs but other than that fab date place

Popped in here on Saturday night and ended up chatting with one of the employees who actually ended up being the owner! What an amazing little place! Absolutely gorgeous drinks and the lady who owns the place was running around getting really involved! The staff were amazing and being able to shake our own cocktails was great! 10/10 recommend! Thank you so much for making our night!

How brilliant to make your own cocktails and fab staff

Great service, tried a few of the cocktails they were very good.

Very Welcoming & Friendly with a Fantastic Menu

Really high quality, unique, very reasonably priced cocktails. The place is such a lovely venue with really nice decor. Nice quirks like a secret menu, shaking your own cocktails and adding the nicest garnishes all make this place such a great experience. The staff are all so friendly and informative. Norwich has needed a bar like this, highly recommend!

Friendly and fun cocktail bar which also has beers and wines. Spread over two levels and super busy when we were there. The cocktails seemed pricy but it turns out you get a jar of cocktail which gives you enough for two cocktails at least. My cocktail came in a jar with a strainer, a cocktail glass, and an edible rice paper logo to put on the top of the drink. Not your standard cocktails but a great choice of interesting flavours. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Service was quick considering how busy they were. The bar is between a fork in two roads. Not well signposted and on the one road you might not realise you are standing right next to it. Good place for a fun night out.

Really friendly little cocktail bar in the centre of Norwich. Cocktails come in the iconic Tipsy Jar jars and you shake them yourself with ice. Exciting and inventive flavours, a good and friendly atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. Brilliant!

Think this is the 4th time my wife and I have enjoyed cocktails from tipsy jar. Faultless as usual. We are big cocktail fans and have been fortunate to enjoy cocktails all over the world in some very expensive places but we both agree the tipsyjar is up there as one of the very best. Perfect for a special occasion, or just a night in with your feet up..

Just had a Tipsy Jar delivered for my birthday - never knew this existed and absolutely chuffed to receive (and drink) it! Brilliant idea and delicious. Put a big smile on my face. I definitely recommend😁

Massive thanks to tipsy jar for saving my bacon. I stupidly thought I'd be able to place an order the day before my fianceès birthday only to find out I was wrong and they were fully booked up. I contacted them using their online form, they replied very quickly and after a few messages had been exchanged they kindly agreed to fit my order in for the next day, saving me from the dog house. The cocktails themself were very enjoyable and easy to make up, I would definitely recommend.

I ordered 3 different cocktails for my husbands birthday and I can't rate Tipsy Jar highly enough. The cocktails arrived on time, easy to prepare & delicious... definitely not watered down! I have already recommended to all my friends.

Thank you so much for another order of 3 different and very delicious cocktails. Your idea during lockdown has been great and the service excellent. Hope to be ordering again.

I ordered some Tipsy Jar cocktails as a birthday surprise for my neighbour. Because of lockdown we couldn't go out and celebrate so I thought we'd bring the party to us. The cocktails were DIVINE and up there with the best I've ever tasted. Classy presentation with all the garnishes and even ice included. All we had to do was shake & pour. My neighbour loved them too and thought it was a fab idea. We can't wait to work our way through the delicious looking Christmas menu.

Seriously good cocktails. We had the Fineapple, and it was glorious. Instructions were easy to follow and they had truly thought of everything, right down to the pineapple leaf. The perfect way to enjoy cocktail bar worthy (or even slightly better!) cocktails at home. Wil definitely be using again.

I used Tipsy Jar recently and ordered the Bramble Twist and it was so much better than any cocktail I’ve ever had from a bar. We have since tried several more and they are all superb. Such an awesome, unique experience at home and the value for money is great, including all the trimmings. They really don’t scrimp on the booze either! Cannot wait to use them for parties in the future!
