A regular on the itinerary whenever we're in Keswick. Great selection of beers and some good food too. The last visit was on a very busy day, but the service was remarkably good with a couple of waiting staff working very hard and efficiently to tend to all.

A great little, traditional pub. Frosted, patterned windows make for an excellent frontage, comfy seats a nice interior. This is a pub that remarkably manages to be almost all things to all men. As previous commenters have already said, the interesting mix of regulars makes this a great and interesting little pub.
A good selection of real ales makes it my first port of call on many evenings (I'd go so far as to call this pub my Plymouth local). Clifton Classic is a pint that will always go down well if nothing else catches your fancy. Thatchers Gold and Addlestons are the two ciders that have been on recently.

Visited this afternoon (my last attempt to procure a pint having been thwarted by arriving after time had been called...) It is definitely a small pub! It's also quite busy. Not normally a pleasant combination, but the people and the beer made it a positive rather than a negative. A good pint of Doom Bar and some wondering at the beautiful beams made for a good afternoon of procrastination.

Reasonable pub (for a Wetherspoons) set back from the street. I visit reasonably regularly to use CAMRA vouchers and enjoy a good value pint most of the time. Usually a selection of different ales on, but too often there are three or four still settling and not yet on offer (a little forethought in the cellar would not go amiss). There are certainly better pubs around the Barbican, but I will continue to visit.

A wonderful local pub. Excellent feel inside and always some good real ales on tap. Particularly good (from my point of view) is the inclusion of the Jennings range of beers. Very nice. Had some problems with food a couple of years ago, but the last couple of meals seem to have been much better (I think there's been a change in management).

Maritime Inn, Plymouth
A decent pub, offering a few well kept ales at remarkably good prices (especially for the Barbican!). Service is friendly whenever I've been in. They have a reasonable (if small) selection of decent whiskies on sale too. Can be a bit quiet at times, but always possible to strike up a conversation to while the time away. Definitely worth a visit if what you're after is a good pint.
