About The Merchant's House
The Merchant's House is a medieval cafe bar at 7-9 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich (NR3 1LJ), open Monday to Saturday 10am-11pm and Sunday until 10:30pm. More than a coffee shop, it hosts 'Student Monday' open mic nights where performers of all backgrounds take the floor with music, spoken word or comedy, alongside live music and pop-up events in its atmospheric medieval courtyard. Craft beers and a rotating cask ale are served from midday, with toasties by day and takeaways in the evening — a cosy, dog-friendly grassroots room in the heart of the fine city.
