An excellent Norwich pub, and a PUB in every sense of the word. I've been in a few times now and the atmosphere is consistently friendly and welcoming. Honest traditional decor, nothing posh by any means, but comfortable and always clean nonetheless.
A good mix of people, prices right where you expect them, and the guys and girls behind the bar make you feel welcome straight away. I've never been waiting long to be served.
Only one downside so far as I can tell - no outside smoking facilities, so you'll be standing on the street in the rain. But certainly not worth the deduction of a star for something the government is responsible for burdening us all with.

Well, I've been in Norwich for all of five minutes now and clearly the good denizens like a drink or two. Walls, pavements and gutters are strewn with last nights proof, and the number of wizened twenty-something's scouring the ground for dog ends is a wonderful thing. To welcome me after the hot, oppressive train journey up from civilisation Norwich arranged a thunderstorm. Shelter was called for and a pub sign stating The Wild Man offered aid. Upon entering it's clear that the locals don't like anything to get in the way of their drinking. A truly old-school boozer stripped back to wood, a few tables and chairs, an average of five teeth per person propped up at the bar and plenty of space to fall over without doing any more serious damage than denting the floor. The beer is good, the music is awful and I'm scared that if I get my iPad out I may be declared a witch. I'm assuming that food beyond the Scampi Fries is non existent and, why not! The last thing that the good folks of Norwich want to be doing is taking the edge off of their hard-won alcohol with food. If you're visiting then I thoroughly recommend a visit. Wednesday is karaoke with Gary and Thursday open mic night. Friday is Andy Robinson and there is no mention of the weekend probably topless cat fights.
I love this pub and its non-judgemental clientele and staff. You really can arrive dressed however you like without being made to feel uncomfortable. For example, I used to go in suited and booted after work and see people in casual stuff, designer gear, plain old jeans and T-Shirt and a few out there ensembles! None of this mattered though because of the relaxed atmosphere, good duke box choices and battered old furniture. The drinks were reasonably priced too. It's somewhere I return to whenever I visit Norwich at night.
Everyone who visits Norwich must go to this pub. Either for afternoon drinks or for night out is a must. A variety of beer and ales are available. Popular among locals most of the time is packed. Very interesting point the story of the lost child which is written on the way to toilets.
Lovely little bar, offering a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Welcoming staff. Extremely cosy, clean and tidy. Perfect for couples, although, groups of four or more will struggle. Just a nice bar to sit back and relax in, while away your time.
Lovely bar with a chilled out vibe.
Until 3pm when they dim the lights, change the music theme and pump up the volume.
It's 3pm on a Tuesday!
I'm Ooout.

Recently refurbished and very nicely done. Quite a small town centre pub, it was fairly quiet after lunch but got busier through Saturday afternoon. Good that they had three bitters on plus pumps for cider and lager as well as Blue Moon Belgian beer. The pints I had were very good.
There was comfortable seating, the staff were friendly and they welcome dogs so this will be a nice addition in the city we can go with the dog.
There is a small snack menu and we did order crisps, unfortunately these are actually nachos which weren't what we wanted. The pastries on the bar did look good though.
Good G&T nice atmosphere. Really hot though and no outdoor space. But qoudo definitely go again.
Very cosy, modern pub, good choice of beers on tap. Defo great for a drink in the evening!
Great bar with a great selection of draught beers, bottles, spirits and cocktails. The atmosphere was spot on too! We didn't eat here.
Best spot in the city center, Easy light bites and great cocktails. Service and atmosphere always on point!
Visited on a Saturday evening. Pub was busy & buzzing. Music playing was loud however a good atmosphere.
Had a lovely time in The Wildman, friendly staff, great selection of cocktails (the Salted Caramel Maloko was amazing!), and clean facilities for when you break that seal! I will definitely be going again and I know my friends will be, too!
Fabulous cocktails, great atmosphere, though it can be a little hard to hear over the music sometimes.
Nice place to drink and a nice atmosphere. There are a couple of TV's to watch sport on if you like that. The only thing that wasn't quite right was that the music is so loud in such a small pub that you can't sit the opposite side of a table from someone and be able to hear them. Also the bar area is extremely camped.
Called in for a pint or two! Good location and atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Watched a couple of football matches in here. Pleasant atmosphere.
