The B-bar

About

The B-Bar is a multi‑faceted venue tucked inside Plymouth’s historic Barbican Theatre. The ground floor café‑bar serves delicious, authentic Thai and noodle dishes, from classic Pad Thai and Tom Yum to vegan curry bowls, prepared fresh daily by a local Thai chef. By day diners can enjoy a friendly atmosphere with high‑chair seating, free Wi‑Fi and a generous menu that caters to gluten‑free, vegetarian and vegan preferences. In the evenings, the intimate bar transforms into a lively live‑music hub, hosting a rotating lineup of local and touring acts ranging from jazz and blues to world‑music and cabaret. Events range from weekly comedy nights to themed music evenings, and there’s usually a modest cover charge of £3 on the door – or free entry for certain performances such as community‑run shows. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick Thai lunch, a relaxed dinner or a night of eclectic live entertainment, The B‑Bar offers a welcoming blend of tasty food, creative music and a historic setting within the Barbican’s iconic brick façade. The venue prides itself on step‑free access via the theatre’s lift, making it fully wheelchair‑accessible, and is within a short walk of the city centre and public transport. A visit to The B‑Bar is a unique Plymouth experience that blends culinary delight with cultural immersion in one of the town’s most renowned mixed‑use spaces.
