Cask Ale

The Arcade Tavern is a popular multi-roomed bar, with a traditional wooden interior, close to the Corn Exchange.

It has an emphasis on craft beers (keg and canned), but also serves two changing cask ales on handpump and a very large selection of imported bottled beers. A wide range of gins is available and artisan coffee.

There is no house food but the bar hosts "street food Fridays" in conjunction with various other local traders - see the website for details.

There are sizeable external heated seating areas and two function rooms which can be hired. Various events, including tap takeovers, are held. Further details can be found on the pub's website and/or Facebook page. It can be very busy on Ipswich Town match days when most tables are pre-booked.

Only card payments accepted; no cash.

Online beer list available on Untappd.

NB The Arcade Street Tavern's closing times may be earlier or later than stated depending on the season and number of customers. Opening times on Tuesdays and Wednesdays may also occasionally vary. Visitors should confirm opening times with the pub if necessary.

Historic Interest

The bar was previously a restaurant and wine bar. It opened in its current format in late 2014.
