This is the roughest pub in the roughest street in England.
But it is real. A no bullshit does what it says on the tinkind of place.
Somewhere for the lower classes.

Beelzebubs local. If this was the only pub/club left on earth I would stop drinking. Filled with a sense of impending violence. Keep your eyes to the floor or you will be accused of "Looking at my boirrrrrrd" Give it a wide berth.

Oh not forgetting: DJ ANDY who plays downstairs in Jesters. Was playing in Harry Tates whilst Jesters was doing the refurb. Lovely guy. Chatted to him on numerous occasions, and always puts the requests on asap. PLays a bit of everything, and if you after the hardcore dance music, then trot upstairs in Jesters.

JESTERS HAS BEEN REFURBISHED---HARRY TATES IS NOW BAR JESTERS-----MORE STAFF ON AS WELL.
Well, I have to profusely apologise. After my last comment, I decided to try Jesters out. I have to admit I am now addicted to the place.
I go at least once a week, because all the staff are now friends of mine, even the bouncers. Extremely friendly atmosphere, and if you know any staff, it's like walking into a family heirloom. The staff are extremely lovely, bar maids/glass collectors and all. Jesters has a reputation for being full of matlows, chavs etc BULLSHIT. I have some friends that walk into this place as a preference, that are on over a �1000 a month, having to pay nominal rent cos they still live at home. So technically they could go to richest, most luxerious, most expensive place in town.... but they choose to come to Harry Tates and Jesters. Need I say more?
I also know alot of uni students that come in too.
Onto the fights that Jester's is supposedly notorious for:
Head Bouncer Tim, Carl, Darren (also manager of Harry Tates), Richie, Mark etc never uneccessarily kick anyone out of the club. The reason they kick people out when they do have to at a small sign of trouble, is to minimise any disruption and destruction to the rest of us, that would obviously happen if they just had a little telling off, so the troublemakers can carry on in there, going up to the bar, drinkin more booze to fuel the situation even more.
The drinks in my opinion are actually dirt cheap. I'd like to know anywhere else I could get a Jack Daniels and coke for less than �2.10?
The Owner: Gill----- is fab too, so are her sons who own Harry Tates and Jesters too.
Overall, I would quite happily call Jesters and Harry Tates, my locals. Is the first stop when I go out: ALWAYS. Most of time, I spend all night (till they shut) running between Harry Tates and Jesters, to talk to mates that I've made through going there.

i think jesters is a really place. great ppl great bar staff and bouncers. so there's a few fights, but if u don't like that kind of thing then don't go!!!!
|
This place is like an embodiment of the Trsiha show- women in their forties acting like teenagers and just a really threatening atmosphere- it was an experience
|
Well, a mixed opinion of Jesters here. The reputation this club has is immense. Even people old enough to be my grandparents sum it up... "You wanna pick up a bird every time you go out, then Jesters is the place, they're all free and easy there,then there is the fighting, full of chavs and matlows and other services blokes all after a shagging while they're away from home" I'll let people make their own judgements....

For years this place has been synonymous with the old 'pint and a fight' theory of classic nights out in Plymouth. In my mispent youth, I remember being unceremoniously turfed out just for standing near one of the various brawls kicking off. And that was on a weekday night!
Went back for the first time in about seven years the other Saturday, and had a really good time. Yeah, the floors are a little sticky but all staff were pleasant and professional, drinks were served swiftly, music was OK and the place was rammed with potentially available women. Better than Heores? Yeah, I reckon.

dont stand still for to long or you'll stick to the floor,the fact that jesters is one of the best night clubs in plymouth just goes to show how few deccent clubs are here in plymouth.

Obviously those who commented havent been there!! Jesters is amazing!! Its what clubs are really about- good time, cheesy music and lots of alchohol! Bar Staff are great,no wonder it takes ages to get served, Coz it is so BUSY!!! Everyone has to go here, there is a first for everything!

Dante's inferno. Beware yee who goes here! If there is such a thing as hell then all that drink at Jesters will be top of the guest list when they're queuing up in Purgatory. To get a measure of how truly vile and depraved this place is, well, they have a punch bag there which allows you to gauge how 'hard' you are. Talk about encouaging the swine. And what's more the clientelle who read this will probably be thinking 'Yeah, so what? It's fookin class."
Good for: The missing link

"Molesters", perfect place to trap at the start of the week. Busiest place in town. Drink offers between 10pm and 11pm. Good doorstaff to keep the dickheads in check, needs more barstaff though, can get a bit dull waiting to get served. DJ is ok, plays the same stuff though. Weekends are TOO busy, can't move, too hot (some working air-con would be nice!) full of spanners. Defo an early part of the week place.

Its a wonderful place! If you like the smell of impulse and Brut aftershave emanating from the stumbling bodies of tipsy teenagers all around you while Britney Spears just keeps doing it again as you try and grab the attention of the stressed barstaff so you can order another bacardi breezer for �1. By the end of the evening you will likely to have been; a) thrown up on, or b}punched or c)copped onto by someone not old enough to shave/wear a bra. Scores a point from me simply for the demonstrating the depths of human seediness.
