Dead Wax Norwich, Norwich Travel Guide

Nestled on St George’s Street in the heart of Norwich Lanes, Dead Wax Social occupies the former Dog House site, transformed into a music-first venue celebrating vinyl, digital, and live sounds. This cosy pub pulses with energy from guitar-driven bands, selector DJs spinning crate-digging tracks, and promoter-led events showcasing local talent. The dual-level space features a DJ booth downstairs and live music upstairs, creating an immersive auditory experience amid exposed brick walls and warm lighting.

Fuel your night with World Famous Gordo’s Pizza, serving authentic New York-style slices perfect for sharing during sets. The bar shines with craft-forward beers from Laine Brew Co, a curated cocktail menu, high-quality spirits, organic wines, and a strong selection of low- and no-alcohol options. Whether you’re sipping a funky grooved-inspired drink or a crisp brew, the offerings complement the venue’s eclectic vibe.

Beyond music, Dead Wax Social supports Norwich’s creative scene with art exhibitions, community-led events, magazine launches, photoshoots, and podcasts. Book a table online for guaranteed seating, or reserve the upstairs live room for private events accommodating up to 100 guests, complete with a private bar and sound system. Outdoor seating areas enhance the cosy atmosphere on milder evenings.

Open daily from noon (11am weekends per some sources), with extended hours until 1am or later on weekends. Pet-friendly until 9pm, under-18s welcome before 8pm with an adult, and most events free entry. ID checks ensure a safe space prioritising inclusion, respect, and security.
