Yates Photo

This fresh looking Yates's bar is situated in the centre of the garrison town of Colchester facing down the High Street.  The venue was refurbished in May 2008 with a contemporary look.  The new furniture such as butchers block tables, railway carriage seating & fixtures and fittings add stylish touches to the decor of browns, deep wine & beige.  Our new comfy seating is ideal for shoppers and office workers who spend their lunch break with us. In the evening we become the busiest pub in town and our new lighting & music system really liven things up giving it a club feel.  We have a great team of staff, many of whom have worked here for years and they help make this the most popular place in Colchester.  Every other weekend the staff dress up, which adds to the party atmosphere. We are a trouble free venue where everyone 18+ gets on together, from local regulars to students and soldiers. Many people come from the outskirts of town, including Ipswich and Clacton for a night out.  There is almost always something going on here, from a karaoke to DJ led music so make sure you don't miss out!
