Great atmosphere. The Tavern is always buzzing.

Fabulous bar for beer enthusiasts.A great range of styles on draught, and an emphasis on Belgians on bottle - with seasonal specials too, not just standard lines.Carried 2 cask lines - nothing special but eminently drinkable, and much better than you'll find nearby.Best bar for beer in Ipswich, by a margin!

Came in for a drink twice today so cant judge the food. Like the impressive craft beer range and also happy to see decent 0% options from Big Drop. Despite being busy got served nicely- Thank you A.T.

I contacted the "Two Ross's" to organise our work Christmas do and they couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. We had a fantastic evening of buffet food, drinks and comedy (supplied by The Big Cheese, but organised by Arcade Tavern) and the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all of my colleagues. Super friendly team, efficient in taking drinks orders for large groups and very well organised.The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very welcoming and fun. Will certainly return!

Never done a review before. I’ve been a regular to the bar, but had a really disappointing experience with them recently.I booked a table for me and my mum to celebrate her 50th. This was booked 3 weeks in advance and requested indoors.Soon as we got there the bar staff said there was no booking. When the manager came over (who I knew from his voice as the person I dealt with on the phone to make the booking) he said there was no booking. I wasn’t particularly confident on the phone, but I confirmed multiple times that a booking had been made.I have never written a review before because I’m very much of the opinion that ‘sh*t happens’ and sometimes things mess up - which is absolutely fine.However, I’m writing this because of the really cold, unapologetic persona of the manager infront of my mum on her 50th birthday - simply wanting to have some drinks at her favourite bar in Ipswich.No effort was made to solve the problem, no offer of a free drink to make up for the mistake, and we both agreed his entire persona indicating that we should leave and find somewhere else. The bar was busy so it’s our opinion that that he simply didn’t need our custom.It’s a shame, because it’s been our place to meet regularly for years now. We’re not angry, but have agreed that we don’t really want to go back again.I guess it’s more about how you treat customers when you have an abundance of them; anyone can be nice to a customer they really need.Happy to speak again to the management if they are wanting to reach out.

As good as ever!
Great atmosphere and selection of beers from around the
No food other than snacks
A really nice place to go, neatly tucked away within the town centre. Good selection of beers
Fantastic choice of beer! Tucked away on a side street in Ipswich! When in town always have to visit.
