Visited in the day so the place was very quiet.
Can imagine it gets very busy on nights when a band is playing.
Quite ironically i had one of the best pints of real ale (Tribute) in here as in a pub like this ale drinkers must surely be a rare thing and forgotten about.
7/10

Musicy. Has changed hands several times recently.

A passable alternative to the usual Mutley fare. Offers the standard dismal selection of beers, but for decent prices.
|
I have never seen any bother in this pub to be fair because, on a live gig night, no-one cares what you look like UNLESS you are a chav - they quickly get glared at (as indeed they should with their inability to handle more than 1 pint of chemical enhanced urine with fizz)
Beer is OK, music is better although the Diamond Geezers are about as enjoyable as stapling your tongue to a bus drivers arse. Generally I have been to some good nights there...

Despite the barman trying to palm off our "any real ale?" request with "we do the creamy bitter", all the standard glugs on offer here are well preserved and delivered. Plenty of well-situated features(pool table, big stage) too. Soon fills up. Only a lick of paint away from getting into the big marks.
I'd rather ram my cochleae through my skull with a fruit knife than hear the Diamond Geezers (clodhopping-obvious-cover house band) again

Visited plymouth for the weekend, the highlight being the cracking music (the blackfoots) on st.patricks day 2007. Crowded, but not horribly so, as you could still attempt to dance without the fear of inadvertently molesting a passer-by.

The Junction is a great friendly place, with awesome music (especially the live bands on Friday and Saturday nights). It's also my local.
They have a pool table, darts board, Sunday quiz and large screen for the footie matches.
The staff are friendly and are like an extended part of my family!
I intriduced the pub to my mates, adn now they've started using it as a local too.

Was my local for my formative years when it was the Freebooter. Since I've moved away from Plymouth they've changed it to The Junction. I'm sure it was better before...but maybe it was just that I was 16. Still, they served a great pint of DogBolter Ale (especially nice with crisps dunked in the head).
