| As far as City Centre Pubs go, this is a cracker. Good draught Bass is very difficult to find anywhere in the UK anymore, so it was a very pleasant surprise to find it here. And it was very good. The interior of the pub is a joy, with two and a half floors (there is a mezzanine level), two bars, and a smart, traditional decor that hints at it's previous life as a Bank. There are lots of little nooks and cosy seats to be had. It's also handsome from the outside with it's striking, rounded design. The pub is not cheap, particularly regarding the beer - but then again, no central Plymouth pub is these days. However, The Bank is quite unique in being a good, traditional, Plymouth City Centre boozer, and it's beer is excellent. So if you happen to be waiting for a bus in Royal Parade, and you hanker after more than the Hogs Head and Yates' can provide, I strongly suggest that you give it a go. pccmp17 - 5 May 2008 02:01 |
| City centre pubs don't come much better than this. Drinks selection is of the usual standard, nice friendly staff, and good food served. Unlike most city centre pubs, this one has architecture you'd want to spend time with - it's got a good bit of character, rather than the rather bland look sported around the rest of Plymouth's city centre. Lovely place. codebreaker - 3 Mar 2008 21:49 |
| The lack of real ale is disappointing, but otherwise very little cause for criticism(other than the in-house radio's late-80s pop obsession). Staff totally agreeable, comfortable and plentiful seating, and the Deal Or No Deal game!What more does one want? Plus there's always the chance of spotting a ZZZ-list performer on hiatus from the nearby Theatre Royal. Hayley Evetts anyone? getsit - 2 Feb 2008 17:24 |

| For a chain pub, this place is pretty good. It's retained a good deal of atmosphere, is pleasant and airy inside, has an expansive beer garden and a reasonable selection at the bar. Meals are cheap and competently cooked. If you're going for a few pints you can't do much better than this in Plymouth. kid_b - 24 Sep 2006 18:59 |
