Fortunately, the Queens Arms was open ahead of the advertised 4 o'clock. Heading straight for the bar, I was able to peruse the clips for the dozen or more ciders available here, as well as at least half a dozen ales. The Salcombe I chose was in top condition and just £4.50. It also had a proper head on it, unlike the previous pint bought lower down the hill.
It was pleasantly cool inside but the yard outside was anything but. This area is enclosed by a corrugated perspex roof and is also home to the extraction unit for the cool room's A/C, so a warm afternoon became somewhat unpleasant during the time I spent here: this is possibly a better place in winter than summer.
All in all though, a good pub with good beer and the obvious destination in Brixham (though you'll need to climb a steep hill to get here).

Located up quite a steep hill from the harbour area, it’s located in a residential area and is certainly not somewhere that you’d stumble across by accident, but it’s certainly worth making the effort to get here.
It’s quite a prominent, street corner pub, and consists of one L-shaped room internally, as well as a small courtyard out the back. Décor wise it’s quite traditional with much exposed stonework on the walls, some sort of grey lino on the floor along with some wood strip near the bar counter. Elsewhere the walls were rough pale green plasterwork with green wood panelling down below. Various nautical bits and pieces were dotted about as befits it’s location, and these included red & green ship’s lanterns, navigation instruments, etc., as well as various nautical pictures. A bookshelf housed a selection of Good Beer Guides, whilst a shelf and display vase had a section of model vans and lorries. A small stone fireplace at the rea contained a wood burning stove and next to this was an interesting drawing of a steam engine, set in to a recess and covered in glass. Other transport related items included a cutaway picture of a Ford truck engine, with an accompanying note saying that is had been rescued from the old boardroom by someone who worked on the design team.
Beers on tap were St. Austell’s Dawn, Salcombe Belgica, Brain’s Rev. James, Teignworthy Thirsty Blonde, South Hams Stumble Bee and Teignmouth Portside. Ciders seem to the main focus here though, and the extensive selection consisted of Lilley’s Bee Sting, Cherries & Berries, Pineapple and Apple & Pear, Sam’s Dry, Autumn Scrumpy and Traditional, Hunt’s Hazy Dazy, Barn Screecher, Wobbler, New King of Ciders and Bull Walloper as well as Hunt’s Andsome Bay and Cornish Rattler on keg. All in all, a truly top-notch pub, and well worth getting out of breath to track down.

You need to go out your way to find Brixhams only Good Beer Guide Pub (2022). A steep climb from where the bus drops you off.
But it is worth it.
L shaped room around a bar that extends into a covered outside drinking area. Allows fresh air loving punters to get served easily and smoking bar staff somewhere to sit.
3-4 cask ales on - and nothing wrong with an unusual St Austell Hybrid (Belgian IPA) - which untapped has down as "no longer in production" :-)
More for the Cider Lovers - with at least half a dozen pump clips and dispensed from the cellar.
Proper pub.
