The Dog & Duck, Mutley, Plymouth

Quinno _ left this review about The Dog & Duck

Radge local. Initially less terrifying than it looks from the outside - it’s a long rectangular place with dark varnished plank wood on most surfaces, a load of old black and white photos and a fibreglass shark hanging out of the wall, with a mixture of strung plastic fauna and fairy lights at the far end which is where you find the bar once you've navigated past the dominant pool table. Pretty basic set of kegs though Beavertown is on for the interlopers. I decided for a half of Guinness which came in a pint glass from the freezer. Deep house cuts on the stereo. So better than initially expected, given my expectations were pretty low to begin with. Although inevitably there was a rumble in the jungle just as I was beginning to settle in which lasted two rounds before reaching its inevitable conclusion. On the plus side, I was left to my own devices despite clearly not fitting the pub’s core demographic and the barman was a friendly chap.
