• like a bitta vodka
• The Globe on Tuesday Market Place seems to be wiping out nearby pubs: beer surprisingly clean for a Wetherspoon's and nice garden. The Lattice House is another W only a street away. Ouse SC on Ferry Lane has the best range of beer in town, but you'll need a member to invite you in. Further out, the Queen's Arms on London Road serves clean Elgoods (local-ish brewery); the Wildfowler isn't a bad chain pub (Wizard Inns?); and the Black Horse in Castle Rising seems to alternate between great and ghastly.
• Wenns, bedtime children please.
• Wenns, bedtime children please.
• hogs head for cheap cheap monday nights, the Globe for fans of standing up shouting at ppl and generally vbeing miserbale, lattice house for sitting and cheap, The Wens for old skool niceness
• Crown and Mitre, good range of ales in great condition, mostly non-smoking.
• WENNS. GLOBE IS ALWAYS PACKED. HOGSHEAD IS ALRIGHT. MAIDES HEAD ON TUESDAY MARKET PLACE, THE LATTICE, OLD TUDOR PLACE CHEAP DRINKS! CHICAGOS ATTRACTS THE ER OLDER CROWDS. LORD KELVIN. THERE ARE A FEW OTHERS.

• Wenns used to be home from home-not so sure anymore!! perhaps i'm too old
• HOUSE ON THE GREEN, SOUTH WOOTTON LING COMMON ROAD! BRILLIANT!
• The Globe - I love this pub, its a Whetherspoons but its massive and has the best beer garde I've ever been to. The lattice is nice, the Hogs is a bit trendy and the Wenns is for the more alternative crowd
• harvester, that cool pub on the grange, were becoming scarily predictable as we go there on friday and saterdays every week, without fail
• Don't ever go into a pub in King's Lynn if you have some dignity and wish to retain it and you value your two front teeth.
• Hog's head - great pub - student hang out Globe hotel - classiest pub in town Lattice house - very cheap drinks - very crowded Orange house - more cheap drinks - very popular Dr Thirsty's - extortionate price - also very popular Fenman - just opposite the train stations - brilliant pub - i always stop there for a quick drink when i go out Lord Kelvin - for god's sake just don't do it.
• Startin from the youngest crowd. Hogs head 16-19!Lattice 17-20! Globe 18 up. Thirstys 18 up.orange house 18 to 65!!Chicagos depends on nite Monday and sunday students 18 to 23 other nites 21 and up quite a youngish crowd though
• yer right. all for the old men stinkin of smoke
• For a good selection of wines head to the new Downey's on tower street. Comfy chairs and jazz make it my favourite place for a girl's night out. Handy for a quick drink after the cinema too. Attracts a slighly different crowd than most of the other bars in King's Lynn.
• Undoubtedly the best pub is The Jenyns in Denver on a sunday night in the summer, when all the young people from town go over The Jenyns, theres a DJ and beer garden lookin on to a river, top atmosphere and cheap drinks. Dr thirstys has a good atmosphere and attracts a youngish crowd, we always go i there when we r out and during the day, also Lloyds No 1 (the globe) is quality, although best in the summer, massive beer garden that goes right down to the quay and cheap drinks.
• Now we have 2 Weatherspoons; the lattice house and the globe!
• The Wens
• October 2002: Lynn now has 2 Wetherspoon's- The Globe (a Lloyd's no.1) and The Lattice House. Get talking to Ken if you go in here (the best guide to Lynn). The short-lived Admiral's Tap is now a Thai restaurant. The Tudor Rose does the best real ale in town but is about as lively as a morgue. Nobody goes in the Mayde's any more, no doubt it'll close down soon and be bought by Tim Martin like the rest of the town.
• The Fenman (opposite the station) is great if you want a good pint in a victorian atmosphere. The Wenns is more lively. Also the Hob in the Well on Gaywood Road is OK if you want a gay night out. (locally known as the Nob in the Well)
• Crossways in Vallengers Road, real local pub, real ale Greene King IPA the best in town and music football etc. The White Horse in Gaywood. A real Man's pub, huge telly for sport, great Landlord, commentary better than Alan Green! cheap real ale, and lots of choice. Not a Ladies pub! but they are always welcome. No trouble ever in 8 years of drinking there. Lattice House is a Wetherspoons pub now. So is the Globe Hotel due to re-open soon.
• Dr thirstys and Chicagoes are the better ones of lynn, but if u want a laugh at the very fresh faced crowd go in the kelvin or the princess (dont be surprised if u see ur 12yr old baby brother tho!)
• THE WENNS , THE LATTICE , THE GLOBE AND FOR A BIT OF LYNN THATS NOT QUITE LYNN THEN IT HAS TO BE ANTNIOS WINE BAR A GREAT PLACE
• The 'Red Cat' @ North Wootton, If its still going?? It was great The Porterhouse, Greene King at its absolute best.
• "The Lattice house" and "The Globe" are now pub's that have be bought by large investers of pub's... after working at "The Globe" for long enough... yes, it's cheap, but, unless you asked for a Sauna at the bar... it's a bloody hot place...
• The Ouse Boose doesnt shut until the real early hours (ie 4am) but its hidden next to the river and you need to be a member!
• lots of em seven sisters woolpack wildfowler well theres loads just look around ul find opne
• lattice house!
• The new Chicago's is Ace, certyainly the place to be!!!!
• pubs are great places to get hit for no reason at all in kings lynn, doormen are idiots ( shock!) young crowd all with a n attitude..if u r there in the evening then you deserve all you get
• The hogs head a very modern style pub not the smae old faces appear a good night out
• Hogshead a modern bar which will welcome new faces
• Rock cafe !!! norfolk street
• Lattice still shut (Jan 2000) - bloody disgrace
• I heard the Lattice was re-opening in October
• Leave town and use the villges for a better,cheaper and non punch in the month pint
• The Lattice House has been bought by some faceless national pub chain and is currently closed (Feb99)
• My favourite pub, The Red Cat, my brother and I have spent a few hours holding up the bar, There is also another one that I used to go to when living there, The North Star, on my many visits home I havae never revisited this pub.But did like the Globe, my younger brother used to be a Chef there.
• The Hogshead (oft referred to as "The Pig's Dick") in the High Street, opposite Debenhams - a fine array of real ales and Belgian beers (not that I mean to intimate that Belgian beer isn't real) and does nice grub too, but it is a little like drinking in an aircraft hangar and the toilets seem to be situated about three hundred feet up and above the Wenns. Take a large bladder ... and a large wallet if you want to fill and empty that bladder several times.

  Doctor Thirstys (not-quite-so-oft referred to as "Dr Nastys") in Norfolk Street - in what used to be "Spoils" kitchen reject shop - nicer atmosphere than The Pig's Dick but the selection of ales is poor by comparison. Mind you, it has some totally excellent "mobile scenery" for the lads to look at whilst quenching the thirst and the bogs are in the same county.

  The Woolpack on the corner of Tennyson Avenue and Gaywood Road (once in use as Stephen Fry's local when he was at College) serves a really well-kept pint and lovely pub grub. Close-coupled lav to hand and the atmosphere is nice a friendly .. both in the lav and the pub itself. More of a local than a "kewl" place to sup, it's a great place to be at the end of terms/years at College, after Exams at College and at special times like when they have live bands and at Christmas etc.

  I am also told that "The Hob in the Well" is a good gathering place for those who like their bread buttered on the other side, but I don't frequent the place and have never even been in it, and I like my bread buttered normally, so I could be being lied to. It is, however, fairly oft referred to as "The Knob in the Gob" by many local folk I know, so maybe its reputation is deserved.

• Good pubs
  • Wenns - on Saturday Market Place at the end of High Street
  • Maydens Heade - Tuesday Market Square
  • The Globe - Ditto.... oops sorry this place just burnt down 19/01/96. Must have been one helluva party %->

• Approx 90 others if your stag night is long enough.

  • Knight's Hill (a148/a149 junction)
  • The Black Horse at Castle Rising
  • Jeynyns Arms at Denver Sluice near Downham Market The Crown at Marham (if you like drinking with RAF squaddies from the base up the road).
• Too many to mention, just drive around you are bound to find one, the Lattice House is where I have heard most about!
• Try "The Hogshead" on the High Street, opposite Debenhams as a good watering hole.
• Hogs head, Admirals Tap and Doctor thirstys
• The London Porterhouse, Best beer in the world.
