This is really the tail end of a pub that used to stretch to the Market Place (where the shop now is) .It was converted from many houses and stables down Row 46 all knocked into one. You can still see the changing floor levels in what remains of this once iconic pub. Originally owned by the Yarmouth wine merchants Backs, it was sold and renamed "The Prince Regent" in the 50's. But nobody called it that and the place was always known as "Backs".When it was closed, sold and then reopened in the 80's, naturally calling it "Back to Backs" was the thing to do. This is the only "Rows" pub left in Yarmouth and is what pubs in the town one were dark, vital and full of life.As you enter you will find the bar on your right but dont be deceived into thinking that is all. It goes on down the Row and up the stairs for quite a way. It is not to be missed by the connoisseurs of pubs with character and of historical interest. Sadly no Cask Ale.

Historic Interest

The building was constructed in the yard of a former hotel and had a small frontage onto the Market Place. After renovation in 1981 the pub reopened with a card shop fronting the Market Place with an entrance in Row 46, and named as Back To Backs.
