Hawthorn
Proper cocktails in a tucked-away St Benedicts spot where the drinks actually taste like something and the staff know what they're doing.

You'll find Hawthorn down a discreet side entrance on St Gregorys Alley—the kind of place that doesn't need a massive neon sign because people who matter already know about it. Once you're in, there's a real sense of craft here: the bartenders aren't just pouring measures, they're thinking about balance and flavour in ways that make a proper difference. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between relaxed enough that you'll actually enjoy yourself and polished enough that it feels like something special. It's become a proper favourite with Norwich's cocktail crowd, and for good reason.
