Why is Arcade Tavern good for fans?

Arcade Street Tavern is a town-centre craft beer bar, handy for Portman Road: the club’s visiting guide says the stadium is a 5–10 minute walk from the town centre. On busy matchdays, its setup of 13 keg lines split across two bars plus two cask handpulls—and stock of around 120+ beers—means plenty of choice and capacity to serve quickly pre- or post-match. They also note seasonal opening aligned to the football season, which can help around early or late kick-offs. You can check the live beer list and opening times before you head over.

This is my favourite pub of all time. I want to thank Ross and the team for always being so welcoming & good-humoured when hosting our little group of French speakers. In particular, I want to say what a wonderful time we all had on last week & thank everyone in The Arcade Tavern for their attentiveness & sup. Fantastic range of Belgian beers too, by the way.

Great place in Ipswich to catch up with friends over a drink. Not a youngsters place so a nice relaxed yet grown up atmosphere. Highly recommend! Plenty or sitting space outside too!

Fantastic venue. Nestled away just off the main shopping area this pub has an excellent selection of beers. There are many keg offerings, a couple of cask beers and fridges full of wonderful Belgian bottles (each with their own matching glass, so done properly). Ample outside seating and plenty of room inside too. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. There is a food offer but as we didn’t order any we can’t really comment. Would highly recommend a visit, we didn’t want to leave and would have happily stayed for the entire day.

Very popular bar on Matchdays. Immediately after the match it was too busy for me. So I went to the Arbour House, and came back here later. 4 staff servicing quickly and a good array of different ales. The smoking area had plenty of tables on a side walk. Might be better to try here midweek.

Lovely little place with several rooms you can sit in with a 2nd bar that i guess is used on busy nights. Has a covered outside area as well on the street. Also has free WiFi and I had a good connection so no complaints there. Music was a nice level so i could make calls easy. Pity they don't do food other than bar snacks and sausage rolls but not every where can I know.

We love spending time at the Arcade Tavern. It's a historic building and really nicely set out. Always a superb selection of drinks and a real buzz on ITFC matchdays.

Love coming here, it’s usually always busy in a good way with a great atmosphere. Theres always plenty of bar staff which means you won’t be waiting long to be served. So many different gins to try. It’s lovely and cosy upstairs in the winter.

Always a nice place for craft beers, chilled atmosphere and very nice butchers sausage rolls. A little upmarket feel, but not pretentious at all.
