The place to go for a lazy afternoon, pub quiz or last call

Pubs
  • The British Legion club (near Picture Palace) sounds tons duller than it is: their quiz nights are a laugh & you can win free drinks. Seems easy to join & drinks are v. cheap.
  • There are over 10 pubs to choose from in Southwold. I think the Lord Nelson on the sea front is great. The Kings Head has quite a "fresh faced crowd" that hang out in the pool room
  • Red Lion and The East Street Bar and Cafe (The Wine Bar) are the places with most locals - quite a lot of kids in The Wine Bar tho, but its better that than they hang around on the street corners! The Nelson is a good pub, but does attract a large amount of rugger idiots - especially that twat Simon who does the excrable Blyth Bugle - give it up loudmouth! Pier Avenue - God knows what theyve changed the name to now is awful. Tacky decor - this place really is nowhere! Kings Head - bizarre is the best word for this. It really seems a bit of nothing to be honest. So, ed Lion and Nelson are your best bet, and Wine Bar if you know people!
  • harbour inn blackshore the best hangover in southwold harbourthe award winning eyesore, next door to the harbour inn blackshore southwold harbour
  • Lord Nelson definitely the best, though try the Bell at Walberswick also. I think all Southwold pubs are kid friendly, though they don't have child licences.
  • Loads - all worth seeing and doing a pub crawl.
  • There are so many pubs in this small village, all selling extremely good beer, as there is a big brewery called ADNAMS taking up most of the village. They brew a lot of different beers, and they also deliver all over the country, but in Southwold they deliver to all the pubs by horse and cart which is so nice to see. The best pub is called the Lord Nelson. Has the best landlord and friendlest staff. Nice open fireplace and always good atmoshphere. Beer to definitely try if you ever visit Southwold is BROADSIDE, nicknamed ROADSIDE as that's where you end up after a few pints. The worst pub is the ARMS miserable staff and full of unfriendly people who stare at your every move. Good beer though, and it has a dart board and pool table unlike most of the other pubs in Southwold.
  • You've under-rated the beer, it is the BEST!!!!!!!!
  • The Harbour Inn: there are regularly bands on in this lovely fishing pub. Southwold is the best place!
  • 'Southwold Arms' no longer exists. It was closed some time ago. It is now a hostel for hotel staff.
  • For the Best meals anywhere, try The Crown's bar food. You'll have a job getting a table and must be smart (I saw my first Skyline parked outside here!)
