The Oliver Twist

The Oliver Twist is a lively, proper local pub in Great Yarmouth, just a short walk from the town centre and close enough to the action to make it an easy stop when you’re out exploring. It has that classic “there’s always something happening” pub energy, with two bars, regular entertainment, karaoke nights, live music, and a friendly crowd of locals and visitors.

Inside, it feels like the sort of place built for a good drink, a good singalong, and a good catch-up. It’s casual, characterful, and unfussy, with the kind of pub atmosphere where the evening can quietly turn into “go on then, one more.” There’s also an outdoor area for brighter days, plus food offerings including Sunday dinners when available.

Dogs are welcome too, which makes The Oliver Twist a handy Great Yarmouth pub to know about when you’ve got a four-legged sidekick in tow. After a wander around town, it’s the kind of stop where humans can settle in with a drink and the dog can do the important under-table work of pretending they haven’t had enough attention yet.
