The Harbour Inn, Kirkley, Lowestoft

Large, prominent pub located in the smartened-up area between the bascule bridge and the South Pier. The pub itself has also been refurbished, with traditional-looking furniture and decor in a large number of different seating areas around the bar. Two of the three handpumps were in operation, offering Summer Lightning and Adnams Southwold (£3.20 ). Overall, despite having a slightly chain feel, it is certainly one of the best options in this part of town.

The Harbour Inn is an excellent pub in a prime seafront location. There is a large car park nearby and there is easy access for people with disabilities. The pub has a very good range of beers and food, along with a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. If you only visit one pub in Lowestoft, then I suggest that you choose this one!
