The Pier Tavern — Restaurant in Great Yarmouth

Whilst on a day trip to Yarmouth we decided to stop off for a pint and went to The Pier Tavern as it was the closest. Inside was clean and tidy with a pool table over in one side. The pricing for a pint of Smith's, Kronenbourg, 2 cokes and a latte was very reasonable considering where we were, but cheaper than or on-site pub. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. As a quick pit stop for a refreshment, this was more than adequate and we could have easily of settled in for a number of hours. A definite place to stop off for a quick one or ten, on your own or...

A 'proper' British pier bar with all you'd expect from dodgy karaoke, disco, DJs, pool table and fruit machines, to families (no doubt on a break from nearby caravan parks) with feral children, and very 'normal' drinks. Prices are decent, however, though the service poor. The outside seating great (in the sun) for people watching. It shares its toilets with the fish and chips restaurant and the amusement arcade... and they're not the cleanest!

Having said that, we came back time after time, so it must have something...

By law, all staff & security men, should not be subjected to music over 80 db! You can get free hearing tests in...
