Located in Norwich’s lively NR3 neighbourhood just north of the city centre, The Whalebone is a friendly, independent pub known for its relaxed atmosphere and strong community feel. Popular with locals, it is a welcoming spot whether you are calling in for a quick drink, meeting friends for the evening or settling in for one of the pub’s regular events.

Inside, the pub offers a mix of spaces to suit different moods, from the traditional front bar to more comfortable lounge style seating. A bright conservatory area adds extra room, while the covered and heated outdoor terrace provides a pleasant place to sit with a drink year round.

The bar is well regarded for its range of cask ales, alongside lagers, cider, wines and spirits, with an emphasis on quality and choice. Weekly quizzes  and live music are a big draw and help give The Whalebone its lively, sociable character throughout the year.

There is also a dedicated function room available for private parties, celebrations and community gatherings, making The Whalebone a versatile and well loved local at the heart of NR3.
