Gay Norwich Bars, Clubs and Hotels

The Castle is the main gay bar in Norwich. It's comprised of two venues: the pub and also the U-NITE Bar located in a converted barn. U-NITE Bar is usually open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There's often an evening with entertainment on the last Saturday of the month at U-NITE.

The pub opens daily at 2 pm. You can order food from 5 pm, play pool, video jukebox and the games machine.

It has been a gay venue since 1996, and it's the largest gay bar in East Anglia.

Lollards Pit is a gay-owned and managed pub in Norwich. It attracts a mixed crowd. The pub itself is steeped in history. It was built in the 17th-century on Lollards Pit, a place of execution for heretics.

These days, with the Wars of Religion long behind us, you're more likely to find people playing bingo over a pint.

Loft NR1 is the only gay club in Norwich. It's been going for over thirty years. Upstairs you'll find the dancefloor, a bar and places to mingle. If you'd like a break from all the relentless dancing you can head to the Loft lounge downstairs.

The club is open till the early hours - last entry is at 3 am. It's only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

If you're looking to make the most of your gay night out in Norwich, you can get a wristband at The Castle Pub, and then head to Loft NR1 with a discount. This only applies on Saturday.
