Plymouth's harbourside home for live sport, music and great nights out

Sat by the water on the harbour’s edge in the historic Barbican, The Ship is a proper Plymouth local. Whether you’re catching the big game with friends, soaking up the sun in our patio terrace or heading upstairs to the restaurant for good food with loved ones, every visit feels special. From live sport on the big screens to regular live music nights, there’s always something going on. And with a full menu of pub classics and inspired favourites, and a range of award winning beers, hand picked wines and premium spirits, there is always a good reason to stay a little longer. Whatever the occasion, The Ship is the place to be.
