The Maritime Inn is a traditional public house on the historic Barbican at 19 Southside Street, Plymouth (PL1 2LD, Devon), bridging the block down to the parade overlooking Sutton Harbour. It's a busy, characterful pub — beamed ceilings, stone-flag floor, a wood burner and a piano — offering regular live music in both the bar and lounge alongside sport, darts and poker evenings. A covered outdoor area on the Parade is popular year-round, and the bar pours its own Maritime Special plus guest ales. A welcoming grassroots room for Plymouth performers.
