See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

This is really the tail end of a pub that used to strtch 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 real ale.
