I co-ran this pub in 1988 for a year after my studies. Was owned by Plympton Breweries (Allied Dom) at the time so the beer was pretty naff. I still have great memories of some awesome drinking nights and the party nights we sued to throw. Have been back a few times since and although it has seen some cosmetic changes it still has the same atmosphere. Great alternative to the union bar as it's within crawling distance for most of the HOR. They used to store dead bodies on rails in the cellar during the Blitz, the holes in the wall are still there on the left above the barrel racks.

wicked pub, local for 3 years whilst at uni - jsv challenge (messy, but worthwhile, got a t-shirt- horray!) Good staff, especially blonde student. Amazing if a student, but plenty of locals too

Great pub, spent a lot of my student life in the place, very cheap drink, SKY tv on large screen, pool table, friendly student crowd, the staff are top notch and the infamous JSV challenge is always good fun :-)

Student pub, for the want of a better term. Pretty much unchanged in the last 10 years, save for various colour changes. Good character.. I like it!
Good for: Pre-going out drinking.
