Thistle Park Tavern

About Thistle Park Tavern

A proper old harbourside local, worn round the edges in the comfortable way, with a nautical, rustic feel and plenty of floor space — handy if you're steering a pram through at lunchtime. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, the toilets are clean, and there's a decent amount of seating rather than the usual scrum for a table. The outdoor seating is the easy option with children; drinks are reasonably priced for Plymouth, the beer range runs deep into cask ales, and the staff are genuinely welcoming to newcomers. Worth knowing: it's a music pub at heart, so evenings and weekends bring bands and a lively crowd, and there's a pool table on the go — great fun for older kids, less so for a quiet meal. Food is the weaker link; come for the atmosphere and the welcome. One visitor called it simply "the highlight of Plymouth".
