Frank's Bar - cafe bar norwich lanes, eating out, food, drink, music & films

hello

James — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:12:00 +0000

Welcome franksbar.co.uk – which is where we like to live on t’interweb.

Frank’s Bar is a cafe-bar in central Norwich. We have filled our bar with good food, top drinks, marvellous music and general chilled-outness. We’re happy for you to enjoy Frank’s Bar in a range of different ways, whether it be with a coffee, glass of wine, tasty meal, or cheeky nibbles we’re really quite flexible. We like to make Sunday’s special as well by offering a fantastic Sunday Breakfast menu (served from 11.00 – 6.00) and a classic afternoon film (screened in the back room) along with the usual selection of great coffee, good papers to peruse and general loveliness.

Because we try to be down with the cyber-kids, we’ve also got a Facebook Group, Facebook Fan page, MySpace page and have gone twittertastic over here.

norwich lanes summer fayre

We’re all very pleased that Norwich Lanes Summer Fayre was such a huge big sunny success. Beautiful weather, beautiful stalls, beautiful performances and of course – lots and lots of beautiful people. As a proud member of the Norwich Lanes, Frank’s Bar went on tour and had our own little stall stocked with plenty of tasty bites and a very nice gooseberry iced tea. Thanks to everyone who came down and helped to make it a lovely day.

Congratulations to Kate & Patch who, through a valiant Grolsch-drinking effort, are the lucky winners of our handsome Grolsch Cruiser Bike!
It just goes to show that drinking beer brings good fortune and happiness.
And a free bike. Hooray we say!

We have teamed up with our lovely friends over at Iittala to fill Frank’s Bar with lovely things. Those clever Finnish design-type-folks have put together an amazing range of crockery and glassware for us to use.
The good news is that if you like the look of it and want to fill your place with Iittala loveliness, you can go a few doors down to The Granary a pick some up.
