Pubs with Bruce
I've been a beer lover all my life and I love to travel. Combining these is the ultimate experience. As I've traveled, I've immersed myself in the history and folklore of the places I've visited. Join me on my beer journeys. Okay, it's not as good as actually being there, but who knows? You may be inspired to enjoy travels (and beers) of your own.

Plymouth. A beautiful triangle shaped corner building (looking somewhat like the front of a ship) located in the Barbican area of Plymouth, it was built as a merchant's house in 1690 and converted into a pub in the early 1700s. The "Anchor and Crown" is the badge of the Lord High Admiral and of petty officers in the Royal Navy and is consequently a popular name for pubs in port towns as it resonated with sailors and others connected to the sea.
Blue and white is the color scheme inside and out. There is space around the front bar downstairs and a room upstairs for dining. And of course there are nautical accents on all the walls. There is also seating on the sidewalk out front - a perfect place to sit with a Salcombe Shingle Bay Golden Ale and enjoy the beauties of the Barbican.
