Marina Bar
WHERE
Plymouth
What it’s like
A pub with live music nights and a proper old-school skittles alley to have a go on.
This is a bar built around two things: live music and traditional pub skittles. If you've never had a go at skittles, it's the pub version of bowling with a lot more banter, and it's the sort of thing that turns a quiet pint into an actual evening out.
The live music is the other half of the draw. Gigs here lean into that proper pub venue feel rather than a polished concert setup, which is exactly the point if that's what you're after. Turn up on the right night and you've got a band on and a skittles alley to fall back on between sets.
It's an adults venue by nature of what's on, so this one is for the grown-ups rather than a family day out. Go with a group if you can. Skittles is more fun with a few people taking turns and heckling each other's technique.
