Blues Bar And Grill in Plymouth

I’ve been here a handful of times now when working in the area and every time the food has been absolutely brilliant! Such food value for money, and the staff are always super friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Benji was the most helpful and friendly bar person / waiter I have been served by. Many thanks for your service.

Visited during seafest, nice friendly bar on the barbican with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Good variety of drinks at reasonable prices, perfect for a nice day out or rainy day inside with barbican views. Comfy seating inside! Can't wait to come back and try more food.

Lovely food. Nice window view of the Barbican. Great service from Benji. Thank you

We had a great afternoon at The Blues Bar. Great service and lovely food. Brilliant music that you could hear bur was not overpowering. We were made to feel very welcome and can't wait to visit again

Fantastic meal, great live bands all met with a smile and perfect service from Benji, he was the best waiter we have ever had. I would highly recommend the Blues bar to anyone that enjoys live music good food and drinks. Thankyou so much Benji, for a great end to our Sunday with our daughter. We look forward to returning soon.

Food was absolutely delicious, served warm and with friendly staff. I arrived to Plymouth late and the staff let me order food over the phone to be ready on my arrival. Great vibe, a lovely atmosphere, and soulful music. Can't fault it 💙🎶

Zero zero zero. Shame you can't leave zero stars. Don't allow wheelchair users. Thought that was illegal. To much hassle I guess. Hope one of there family never need one. They will probably just leave them behind and move on. Strange the the reason for refusing entry had nothing to do with the wheelchair when at the time that was the only reason mentioned for refusing entry. Really appreciate your quick response and apology. Keep up the good work seeing off disabled people. Can't have to many of them lazy wheelchair users having fun, shouldn't be allowed.

Wouldn't let are friend in for a pint because he was in a wheelchair and he was able to stand for a short period of time and accused him of not needing it edit to reply to ur Comment only one person had beer from a different place and he stayed outside and only 2 of us went in to buy the drinks it was about 8 aclock we all had about 3 beers before we went your bar so we weren't drunk and there was absolutely no abuse towards staff even after the bouncer insulted are disabled friend and refused to serve us

Wouldn't let our mate in because he's in a wheel chair got out and said you shouldn't be in it. If it's not yours you cant be in it. Also not wheelchair accessible big step up in doorway.

Very pleasant staff, food was awesome well done chef loved the Blues Bar chicken. Will definitely visit again when down working again.

Went last night for daughter in laws birthday. 4 adults and 4 children They couldn't have been more helpful and friendly wonderful And what can I sat the king ribs yum 😋 Definitely worth a visit Thank you for an amazing evening

Food was really good. Wasn't waiting to long either (although we were the only customers at a lunch time). The starter i had breaded squid which was nice and moist. Main i think was a burger which was lovely, not too over seasoned which is a massive gripe of mine so that was good! The young lad that was serving us was very polite, friendly and had no problem with anything we asked. I'd definitely suggest giving them a try! Cost wise was about average for eating out at a restaurant. 4 star on the atmosphere because I don't like jazz. All in all highly recommend!!!!

Always very friendly staff. There is music many evenings. It's a good place to go alone or with friends.

Visited for Sunday PM music, Black Friday were terrific. Great atmosphere, got really busy which really added to it.

Love this place. Great music. Scott rocks

Tried this place a couple of times when we stayed. They had a cool band on one night and it had quite a chilled and relaxing atmosphere. The drinks here are not the best. The attached photo was supposed to be a Gin Fizz, which obviously was lacking.

This pub and restaurant has been consistently good for years. Lovely home cooked food, friendly service. Seating inside and out. We always return.

Lovely relaxing background music on a sunny Tuesday evening in August. I accidentally came here as I had lost my phone on a bench and someone handed it in at this bar and we stayed for drinks and then a burger n Fries. The burgers were fantastic, really fresh and clearly homemade. The beef was great quality and the burgers excellently put together with lovely brioche bread and a good amount of lettuce and tomato. The onion ring was beautiful as was the gerkin. Not too sour. The chips were cooked to perfection with a lovely crunch. A surprise and unexpected dinner out which was greatly enjoyed.

Had a lovely meal here Sunday 4th of August for my dad's 86th birthday, credit to the guy who served us he was busy but made sure we had a lovely time.

food was exceptional especially for the price. would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner. we were a large table served by energetic and eccentric Ben who provided us with incredible customer service- please keep up your positive attitude! 😁

Refried yesterday's fries. And the waiter assured me this wasn't the case. No wonder all places were full but them. Keep away

King of the ribs! Was our last stop on holiday before going home that evening. My only disappointment of this place is it isn’t closer to home. Will miss the ribs, but will never forget! Chef is an expert in what he does, and his portions are generous at the price. The Waiter/barman was very pleasant and hard working. Will definitely return if I come back to Plymouth! Thank you for the excellent experience!

Went for MV opening, excellent evening, friendly staff and awesome bikes

Amazing meal and drinks! Great service from Tyler. Will be back again

I had the Texan Chicken salad. The BBQ sauce in came in is to die for. I recommend to order a some bread with it to mop the sauce at the end. It's criminal to waste it.

So today we had a fabulous family get together x the food was fabulous but the standout was the service we received x shout out to Tyler today who was obviously rushed off his feet but still was spectacular x thanks blues bar

A brilliant visit. Food and service was fantastic. Thank you to our server, Tyler, who was so helpful and friendly.

Amazing atmosphere. Very good food, and quick, Friendly staff, good music, good clientele. Good selection of beers and other drinks.

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere, food & staff. We always pop in here when we visit Plymouth as it's 1 of our favourite places & holds good memories of night's out.

We came here with my family of 9 with two little ones aged 1 and 3! I Can not fault this place the food is amazing and really good portion sizes and is super tasty! Benji who served us is a supper friendly and very welcoming and gave us a 5* service! Nothing was to much trouble for benji and really felt he went above and beyond! Would happily go hear again.

Went to hear the music was Great rockdoltons good afternoon

Benji was a great waiter, and the food was amazing and good value. Definitely would visit again.

Absolutely first class service and top notch food. The lad that tended to us was a real credit to the establishment. Unfortunately we could only stay for an hour as we were on a coach trip. We had traveled 400 miles from Newcastle. We will definitely call in again when we're in the area. Well done pal, keep up the good work 👍

Went for an event, was incredibly crowded, in a good way! I imagine with less people it'd be a very chill atmosphere, space could be improved during events by moving some of the large tables and sofas.

Fantastic food and friendly staff

Always call in when in Plymouth. Friendly staff. Music is always fab. Great atmosphere.

Wow!! Just been for a family lunch for our daughter birthday. Service and food was amazing. Freshly cooked. Huge portions. Will definitely be back!

Great location and atmosphere with very helpful staff. Hands down the best rump steak i have ever eaten! delicious food would highly recomend.

We are visiting Plymouth with family (6 people from 5-85years) and we came across Blues, and what a treat it was. The staff couldn’t have been any more accommodating and friendly. The food was also fabulous, our daughter is dairy free and they were knowledgeable about the menu and guided us to the best options. And to top it all off it was excellent value! Would recommend Blues to anyone. Thank you!

We had the prosecco brunch, it was lush! Not a huge menu choice but what we had was really tasty, I can definitely recommend the belly pork bites!

Amazing cocktails , delicious desserts and amazing atmosphere , food portions were generous and very good value for money . Staff were attentive and friendly . The armosphere is so calm and laid back and I love the decor one of my favourite places to go .

Great drinks, super friendly staff (especially Katie on the bar), such a good atmosphere! The live band playing were amazing!

Great music, atmosphere, food and service. Would happily eat here again.

Does a decent burger and a good drinks selection. Good vibe when there is live music on

food was really bad. disappointing.

Went in for a drink, lovely atmosphere

Good food, nice atmosphere, excellent live music.

Great venue with live music. Really enjoyed Code Red covers band

Great place to vist ,would highly recommend .

Very friendly and helpful staff music was very good had a fab night

A minimalist place that is a little on the quiet side - until the band starts up. A nice vibe can then permeate. Surprised to hear cheesy Xmas songs being played here.

I came in with some friends for Christmas dinner after having been here a few times in the past for food, and was pleasantly surprised! Usually Christmas dinners are dry or tasteless, but this wa probably the best I've had in a long time!! The belly pork was succulent and juicy, with a beautiful rich gravy! The staff were attentive and friendly as always too, definitely returning next festive season for our christmas party!

Fantastic food and staff! Fun atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Very nice food in a very busy bar. 3 course meal with friends and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Went to this place on Saturday evening, bar was busy with parties etc but the staff were brilliant, managed to sort a table for us and had a good meal before listening to the live music, stayed there all night. I don't normally review but this deserves a mention.

Don't trust their menu. The food marked as vegan on the menu isn't and I was blamed for not telling them I couldn't have milk. Ordering vegan food meant that this shouldn't have been a problem. Manager couldn't care less, the evening was nothing but problematic. Tried to overcharge us. Wanted to charge for a dessert that I didn't have as I couldn't eat it.

Two women, us, were followed into The Blues Bar by one very intimidating man. The man was asked to leave to our relief. Then the bar staff refused to sell drinks to us women. We had already asked if 'Angie' was working but were ignored! We queried the situation with the manager outside and found him unsympathetic to our needs so left to the bar hoping not to be confronted by the intimidating man. Scared to return.

Lovely place the staff were very pleasant really enjoyed it had a Sunday roast massive amount of food .y mate got a doggy bag 😂👍

Had a business meal in this well established bar/restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff very friendly and helpful. They informed us that they have free live music in the evenings. We are planning to go back outside of business to have another meal and listen to the entertainment provided.

We waiting for more than one hour to take a 🥩 do something very easy to cook. I really disappointed about it.

Great food albeit the service was a bit slow, but that said it was worth the wait.

This was their Guinness battered fish, triple cooked chips served with mushy peas & tartar sauce (menu special)😍🐟🍟 so lovely and fresh! We love it here and they have such a varied menu. Looking forward to coming back again.

Attended here with some friends to celebrate a friends birthday , we had a lovely table downstairs with beautiful views ! Mainly met for drinks but food was avaible to order , I wasn’t planning on eating until I walked past another table where the food looked amazing ! After quizzing them mid meal 🙈 they didn’t seem to mind I went for the jalapeño chill poppers and the side of macroni cheese ! Well all I can say is wow , the chilli poppers were the best I’ve ever had ! Also the portion size was massive , 7 I had and yes they were so good I didn’t share them with anyone 😂 next up was the macroni cheese , a side portion if you ever ! Which I think was around 5 pound , it was massive, incredible value and just out of this world , couldn’t eat all of this so did share this one 😂 ! What impressed me the most though was the staff , they were so attentive and just friendly and welcoming , it is a place I would feel comfortable going into alone and having a few drinks and some food ! Defo 5 stars for the staff amazing And lastly the cocktail list just wow , not usually a cocktail lover but I had several I think 🤔 🙈 I can’t wait to go back and try the roast ! Amazing food , staff , drinks and venue ! What’s not to love Thanks blues bar for a fab day out i will 100 percent be back x

This place is amazing! The food is always amazing with brilliant portion sizes, the staff are very attentive and helpful and we love coming here! Even on the quiet days with no band performing it’s still a lovely evening.

If I could give this place a higher rating, I would! Everything and I mean everything about The Blues Bar was brilliant, can't wait until the next visit.

This is a perfect place for live music, good food and brilliant service even though on the evening of our visit the barman seemed to be doing everything from serving drinks to running up and down to the kitchen to deliver delicious food and all with a smile! Couldn't fault anything and we're looking forward to a return visit very soon.

Lovely Sunday roast and great live Jazz. 👌

We had a lovely, relaxing Sunday afternoon here; enjoying their new Sunday roast menu with an accompanying saxophonist to create a chilled and enjoyable atmosphere, Lovely roast, choice of pork or beef, with a comforting apple crumble and custard for dessert. Staff were very efficient and well presented, as always, look forward to going back! Thanks blues bar

We popped in as they were advertising music and what a great night, shame it wasn’t Blues however a great covers band. The whole place was full of energy and such a great bunch of people. Special mention to the young Barman, ( sorry didn’t get your name) cool calm and collective at all times. So good to see a mature head on young shoulders, offering water to a few people who obviously had one too many, not serving alcohol until some others had water. So refreshing to see someone who cares about the drink they are serving late on a Saturday night. Well done young man , im sure you will go far in life🙏

Very good. We would be happy to come back. Super friendly service, good food, generous portions.

Wonderful food and service so highly recommend for both. Didn't hear any blues or jazz though, only Arctic Monkeys, this was disappointing as the place is covered in pictures of legends that would have been lovely to hear.

Good food very friendly and cosy place. Definitely be back again!

Went to this restaurant today 07.09.23, everything about the place was amazing, the waiter Tyler made sure we was well taken care of, he always made sure our table was cleared promptly, he answered all of questions, he made sure we had everything we needed and wanted, he was an amazing bartender and server highly recommended him The food was also so amazing I can’t wait till we can eat there again

We had an absolutely incredible meal at Blues Grill and Bar last night. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and the staff could not have been more accommodating. I am dairy-free, and they created a custom meal for me that was both delicious and satisfying. We started with the chicken wings, which were cooked to perfection and perfectly spiced. The dipping sauces were also delicious, and I especially loved the Spicy and BBQ sauce. For my main course, I had the steak, which was cooked medium and was excellent. The vegetables on the side were also cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The service was impeccable. Our waiter Katie, was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. She also went out of his way to make sure that my meal was dairy-free. I would highly recommend Blues Grill and Bar to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service. We will definitely be back soon! Thanks guys :)

It's my birthday ! Haven't been to this place for probably 5yrs. It's a Saturday night , on the Barbican and it's busy. My Team were on Sky at 1230....sadly we lost. Been out celebrating ever since. Pub/restaurant hasn't changed much except there is no real ale on tap. Had some Jail ales in bottles instead. Sat outside in the sun with half of Plymouth. Had a blue cheese burger with all the trimmings ( it was huge ) and my beautiful lady had chicken fajitas. All very nice. Had to wait a while as there was a big party booking. Waitress was very nice and looked after us....

What a great place to enjoy the Barbican. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Thanks guys for making our time at your restaurant/bar an enjoyable experience👍

I came here with my family for some dinner and drinks, and the Blues Bar did not disappoint!! I had the King ribs, (which were melt in the mouth tender) and my family had an assortment of burgers, starters and even a vegan chili con carne, which was a surprise to find on the Barbican! The food came out perfectly cooked and beautifully presented, and tasted absolutely divine! The staff were friendly, humorous, and welcomed us warmly, and they also couldn't seem to be any more accommodating for my vegan wife and autistic son, which I am very thankful for. We will definitely be visiting again very soon!

Everything great. Food excellent. Live music is always a bonus. If you like listening to live bands then this is the perfect place to be. We love it here.

Do not not have an alcoholic drink at this place, they will refuse to serve you even though you absolutely no intention of causing trouble and want to just have a good time, 2 shots ordered and that was enough to say you have had...

Good little pub food was great.

Visited here years ago, raved about the ribs and wings. Came back years later, nothing had changed!! Fantastic food, great service, nice view! Would 100% recommended to anyone who likes grilled/BBQ food!

Warm welcome, friendly staff, fantastic food. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Really enjoyed our afternoon here. We will definitely return, as thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Thankyou so much.

Popped in one evening, service was good and friendly, lovely atmosphere, the lice band was good to.

We only intended to have a couple of drinks but after seeing the burgers brought down we had to try them! The food was amazing it couldn't have been better as well as the service. A great place to visit we will be making this...

Excellent place for food 👌🏼👌🏼 with great service

Great & Clean Place in a busy location. Very friendly staff, with a good selection of Beer & drinks. The Starters were amazing, perhaps more than we expected, the Garlic Bread was very rich in flavour and also came with a large side salad. My...

I’ve been a couple times now and the food never disappoints, staff are very attentive and the vibes there are fantastic. Will definitely be going back!

The flavours were amazing and the jambalaya was delicious. Unfortunately everything was very cold and the jambalaya wasn't even warm it was room temperature. And our side dish was missing. Therefore we wouldn't order takeaway again but we'd definitely eat in instead as everything tasted amazing.

We stopped in for some beers with friends for a chat. The beers were good and the service was amazing. We were expecting a blues bar though and the music choice was top 100 pop type music unfortunately.

the food here is delicious. really big portions and the chips are LUSH!! plus the staff are super friendly. good vibes

The coke I ordered was served from a 2ltr bottle that was left open on the side, so I was given flat coke. Each member of my party of four that had none alcoholic drinks commented that their drink was flat.

Great casual place The kitchen is good

My family and I often visit this bar, as the food is wonderful. Went back for a visit this Monday, and had some Philly Cheese Steaks, the Fish Goujons, the Blue Cheese and Steak salad, and several other sides between us all. The garlic mushrooms were beautiful: fresh mushrooms in a delicious creamy sauce, seasoned to perfection. My Mum had Mac ‘n’ cheese, which we all pinched some of, because it was “da bomb”! But the star of the show for me was actually the mushy peas! These were made in house, and the chef has got that recipe down to a tea: just the right amount of mint, and I wolfed down the lot! Blues Bar and Grill is a smashing place to go for a meal on the regular, as they change the menu almost weekly, with new stars of the show appearing in the form of themed burgers and delicious seafood dishes. They also have new desserts all the time (we had Eton Mess and Rocky Road Sundaes). You will never get bored of this place! They have a great selection of drinks, too! The music is good, and at a suitable volume in the daytime so you can have a pleasant conversation over your meal without shouting. We took along my 5 week old granddaughter (who slept throughout) and she was not disturbed! I promise I’m not getting paid for this review (although if Blues want to offer me a bribe - please feel free)! You will not regret coming here - try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

I have just had a glass of wine and Atlantic beer £11.90. Went across to Wetherspoons a glass of wine and a pint £4.94. It was a Monday we were sat out, we used to go to the blues bar often to listen to live...

The place was pretty much self serve, however the food was amazing, great value for money , reasonably priced food and my god it tastes very good, I had the Texas chicken and the plate came stacked! Hands down the best bbq chicken dish I’ve had and that’s saying something. Now waiting for desert. Absolutely will be returning!

I had lunch here on Monday, it was amazing. Great taste, plenty of it, good value.

Nice bar, good beer and comfortable seats. Although the smell of cigarettes in some locations stopped us eating food there.

The chilli was really flavourful, and I enjoyed the sharing nachos as well as the New York cheese cake. Will defo order again and would recommend to anyone.

Food is lovely and staff are great! View from upstairs windows are great.
