We're excited to announce the reopening of The Drakes Drum, a historic pub in Plymstock, Plymouth. Named after the legendary sea captain Sir Francis Drake, this iconic establishment has been given a fresh look and is ready to welcome you back.
A Rich History
The Drakes Drum has a fascinating past, dating back to the days of Sir Francis Drake himself. The pub's name is a tribute to the legendary sea captain and his voyages. It's said that Drake carried a snare drum on his expeditions, and if England were ever in peril, the drum would sound, summoning him to defend his country.
A New Beginning
Under the guidance of experienced operator Tammy, The Drakes Drum is embarking on a new chapter. With a passion for hospitality and a commitment to creating a welcoming atmosphere, Tammy is excited to introduce guests to the transformed pub.
A Stunning Transformation
We've invested in a comprehensive refurbishment to ensure that The Drakes Drum lives up to its full potential. The exterior has been given a fresh coat of paint and new signage, making it a standout feature in the neighbourhood. The pub's rear area and balcony/deck have also been enhanced with new seating and décor.
Inside, the pub has undergone a stylish transformation. The interior has been decorated with new colour schemes, carpets, curtains, and artwork, creating a modern yet cosy ambience. The sports zone has been revamped with a pool table and darts throws, providing opportunities for friendly competition.
A Hub for the Community
The Drakes Drum is more than just a pub; it's a gathering place for the local community. We've invested in a state-of-the-art AV system, ensuring that patrons can enjoy live sports, music, and other entertainment options.
We also plan to host a variety of events and activities, including:
Live music nights featuring local bands and musicians.
Quiz nights for those who enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
Community events such as charity fundraisers and neighbourhood gatherings.
