Took forever to get served. Nice location though.

One of the few pubs down on the Barbican with a decent seating area.
This does of course mean that every idiot is out down here when the sun is out.
However we visited during the day during the week so it wasn't too bad down here and my pint of Doombar was lovely.
7/10

Pretty awful. No real ales so fell back onto Guinness. I went on a quiet Sunday and the outside seating was pleasant - but otherwise I would try somewhere else
|
Not very inviting - look elsewhere.

Shocking. Had to dodge a fight when I last walked past this place. Enough said.

quality pub down to earth type, love the marine photos and pics on the walls well worth a visit

ITS JUST BEEN EXTENSIVELY REFURBED(IT DID NEED IT) AND IT IS SMASHING AGAIN.THE AWFUL WHITE FLOORING IS GONE AND A NEW WOODEN DANCEFLOOR HAS TAKEN ITS PLACE. NEW LIGHTING AND A COSY WARM COLOURED CARPET AND WALLS HAVE ALL REPLACED THAT AWFUL GREEN. A NEW MENU & 2 NEW CHEFS SHOULD ENSURE GOOD FOOD IS BACK ON THE BARBICAN.

THIS PUB IS A LEGEND. THE LANDLORD IS THE BEST. NOT FOR THE DELICATE THIS PUB SERVES WAR HEROES FROM AROUND THE GLOBE. WE NEED TO HAVE SOMEWHERE TO LET OFF STEAM AND THIS IS THE BEST PLACE WHERE WE CAN GO AND ENJOY OURSELVES. GAME SHOW ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IS A MUST AND ALTHOUGH THE JUDGE IS A BIT BIASED SOMETIMES, HE DOES GIVE IT AWAY TO THE NEEDY.
PETE IS THE SORT OF LANDLORD YOU NEED WITH BIG BURLY MARINES EVERYWHERE BUT BOY OH BOY IS HE THE TOPS.

Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough! Utter hell on earth.

Falkland memorabilia adorns the walls. The floors are tiled. Seating is at a premium. Squaddies drink here when on leave. Avoid at night but during the day it's a decent palce to play a bit of pool or sit outside by the harbour, and don't let anyone tell you any differant.
Good for: Summer afternoons but avoid if Argyle are at home. Away fans seem to congregate there and you can't blame them because the Barbican is the natural place to go if you are visiting the city for the first time.
