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 10.30 – 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 page, MySpace page and have gone twittertastic over here.

We’ve got all sorts of goodness ready for you including the tasty (vegetarian) globe artichoke, caramelised leek & feta filo pie, or the (gluten free) roast Jerusalem artichokes for something more meaty you could try our delicious Spanish style flat-iron steak or for something from the coast perhaps the mussels, clams & squid stew (with tomato and saffron).

The menu uses the best local ingredients we can find and will be changing regularly so that we can keep it more seasonal than ever; You can download a sample menu here.

They were kind enough to play some of our choices, put the playlist on their website and we even had a (slightly nervous) little chat on air with Lauren Laverne about it.

A nice man off of Twitter was kind enough to put it all together in a Spotify playlist jobbie as well (< so you know; that will launch Spotify).

The BBC blog page is here

“…Frank’s is a well-loved petite drinking den in central Norwich that prides itself on fantastically friendly service with the laid-back feel of a living room. Perfect for those who seek the familiarity of a pub with the cosiness of a café”

We also had a mention in the New York Times in an article about Norwich’s literary scene:

“After a hard day’s work, writers gather at Frank’s Bar on Bedford Street, the premier late-night spot…”

whisky shop recommends

We’ve got together with the lovely folks at The Whisky Shop to offer you whiskytastic goodness.

As soon as we finish the bottle we pop round and have a chat with the guys (and a taste if we’re lucky) and get something new and different in for you whisky lovers.

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 and pick some up.
