Cool waterfront bars, eclectic taverns and cosy Suffolk pubs


Whether you want a relaxing catch-up with friends or you want to party the night away, Ipswich is a great place for a night out!

As a historic working town in the rural county of Suffolk, Ipswich has some wonderful old taverns and inns filled with wooden beams and wonky walls; giving a cosy county-pub atmosphere that's perfect for a more chilled evening.

The town centre also has a vibrant choice of lounges, cocktails bars, contemporary pubs and clubs that all make for a buzzing vibe when the sun goes down.

If you head down to the waterfront, there's a choice of waterfront bars with beautiful views over the yacht-filled marinas, ranging from 'buzzing and lively' to 'luxurious and chic.' Plus you'll find Briarbank; Ipswich's very own microbrewery & bar.
