About Briarbank

The Briarbank Bar and Brewery offers a truly unique experience when visiting Suffolk’s county town, Ipswich.

Spread over two floors downstairs, you’ll find our very own microbrewery, working hard to produce a wide range of beers, plus a series of seasonal and experimental brews. And upstairs is our first-floor bar, where you’ll find our homebrewed beers available on tap, plus a range of other drinks, including wine, spirits, ciders and soft drinks.

The furnishings in our bar are pretty unique, too – our higher tables are made from old barrels, giving you that authentic, unique brew experience.

But, it’s not just our bar where you’ll find our wide range of ales. We also have an online shop, allowing you to enjoy your favourite beer at home. With local and national delivery available, whether you live in Ipswich, Cornwall or Scotland, you can get your hands on a Briarbank beer.
