| Oh no! The Fisherman's Arms is now a gastropub! My main reason for visiting Plymouth (for a good pint or three of HSD in pleasant surroundings) has now gone. They still sell HSD but it's gone up from £2.50 to £2.95 and I can't really see the diners opting for a strong, characterful beer with their meal, so how long will it stay? I'm sure that the new landlord/chef means well, but I really do question the need for a smart food-orinetated pub in the middle of a council estate. Why couldn't they have picked a run-down dump to do up, instead of a Good Beer Guide pub like the Fisherman's Arms? A totally different clientele, and all the character has gone from what was once a really nice local. What a shame. Trequites - 30 Aug 2008 21:37 |
| Ignore my previous comment - this place has been desecrated, turned into another of the standard Barbican type pubs. It has been sold and refurbished in the worst possible way. It's lost all his character, olde pub charm, friendliness and individuality. There is no longer a free jukebox (or indeed any jukebox), pool table or dart board. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! Try the Commercial instead if you're in the area. UlricVonBek - 23 Aug 2008 20:49 |
| Lovely community pub where we felt welcomed as we went into the bar area. Had our drinks in the lounge that has a raised rear area. Lovely barrel tables. gillhalfpint - 15 Aug 2007 09:18 |
| This is a particularly nice St Austell pub, as UlricVonBek says, tucked away in the back streets of the Barbican. I haven't been here for nearly 10 years, but it hasn't changed - quiet, good beer and friendly locals. The HSD was good and the cheapest I've had for some time. It's in the 2007 Good Beer Guide and well worth seeking out over the more obvious pubs on the Barbican if you fancy a quiet pint. Trequites - 22 Jul 2007 17:32 |
| This is a great little two-bar pub tucked away in one of the back streets off the Barbican (but make sure you get the right pub if you're coming up the steps from The Barbican - it's very easy to go in the first one you come to by mistake...go under the flats and it's just round the corner). There is a good selection of real ales, and a friendly landlady who'll happily play darts with her clientele (I've never seen more than six people in there at any one time). There's a quiz machine, pool table and FREE!!! jukebox. Not the place for you if you're out for a night getting drunk with the lads (although there's plenty of pubs like that on The Barbican, so maybe start here), but if you fancy a couple of quiet beers and some surreal chat with the two or three locals, give it a try. No food at the moment, but they are "considering" it for the future. UlricVonBek - 13 Jun 2006 21:24 |
