Spent a lovely afternoon sat upstairs sharing a gin board with a friend. The atmosphere and setting are lovely and relaxing, and the staff are friendly and attentive without being over bearing! They were great at helping us choose our gins too, from the 200 options! The board is a great idea and great value - 4 gins with tonics and garnishes for £20, plus they make sure you have a fresh glass for each drink. Other drinks are available such as rum, cocktails and prosecco if you fancy something different. Can’t wait to return when the weather is better to sit outside in the garden.

Popped into Club 27 with a group of friends, what a fab night we had! Franz, the host, made us feel so welcome, the decor is quirky, welcoming and interesting and the drinks are reasonably priced. Cool music too. We'll be back soon!

The Minerva Inn is the oldest pub in the town of Plymouth, dating from around 1540AD reputedly haunted and with an interesting nautical history, and as we were staying nearby we decided to pop in for a historical visit. Minerva was the virgin goddess of Warriors but as you could actually hear the pub before you could see it, as there appeared to be some dodgy sounding karaoke happening inside, and it made me think there wouldn't be many virgins inhabiting this place. That, combined with a gaggle of unruly looking folk hanging around the front door in what I presume was the smoking area, meant we nearly didn't bother to venture inside. Anyway, thinking at least we could get an anecdote from our visit, we ventured through the front door and the place was packed - admittedly it is quite a small bar. It wasn't a karaoke night, but a duo called JD and Coke playing sounds from the 60s, 70s, 80s etc. Johnny Cash, T-Rex etc. Funnily enough on the chalkboard outside it looked like they were called JD and Cake, and part of me wished they were. [Bill and John were their real names apparently.] Playing along on tamborine to the music was an older lady wearing a hat which said "normal people scare me"...and I think the opposite is also true; and on tambourine 2 was a guy in a Jack Daniels cap, who looked more grizzly than Seasick Steve, and people were getting up to dance at the numbers they recognised on a dancefloor that was about the size of a bath towel. Getting to the bar for a drink was not an easy task, and one local said "it's one out one in, mate", but eventually I was served 2 pints of the requested Korev. It appeared to be a locals pub, and full of great characters of all ages, but the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly, and even one of the duo playing music shook my hand as we left. The decor is old fashioned, and you can just imagine the action it has seem over the years, but now the white beams on the ceilings are covered in graffitti - some of it quite crude. We would have stayed longer than 45 minutes, but we had other places to be. If I lived in Plymouth I think I'd pop in now and again.

As an American travelling to UK quite often, today's pubs are frequently mobbed with after-work smokers and drinkers standing around in their own groups. There is no room and nothing there for a visitor. The QA in the Barbican is everything you hope for. A nice crowd, nice staff, and on every visit i meet nice folks - singles, couples, all ages and backgrounds. Sunday night's they have great entertainment, again for all ages and backgrounds. A trip to Plymouth is not complete without a visit.

Cracking traditional pub, fantastic atmosphere, wonderful bar staff. They are always smiling and enthusiastic. Best of all the variety of different real ale that come straight out the barrel. Best pint ever. Never tasted anything like it. My pooch is always treated like a king, treats, fresh water and lots of cuddles by staff and local. I recommend this little gem to all my family and friends. A true traditional pub. Thanks for the amazing experience.

Been past often but only visited last week. Looks a bit dull from outside but completely different once you go inside. Lovely evening super friendly and informative staff very relaxed.Excellent selection of wines also other alcoholic drinks and coffee. The French Tapas are really good, a good choice of Tapas we had the meat platter,duck pate and the new tomato dish with blue cheese and balsamic glaze. Very tasty.
