The Queens Arms is a complete contrast to other pubs in the Barbican. It's a quiet, comfortable pub with carpet, wallpaper and green banquettes and a much more relaxed feel than other local pubs. As such, the clientele is on the older side.
Board games can be found at the end of the bar. Live entertainment is listed on a blackboard and there is a monthly quiz. For my visit, there was just a little background music.
Jail Ale is a regular cask ale here. For my visit, this was joined by Tribute, Landlord & Boltmaker. Atlantic was available on keg and ciders were Aspall's & Thatcher's Gold. Food is not served but bar snacks are available.
The beer range could have been more adventurous but I enjoyed chilling out for a while here.

If you put draw me a traditional pub into AI, it would probably come up with this. Narrow building that hides in plain sight (forced to double back, when looking at google maps and not noticing it). Long thin carpeted single roomer. If accepted, you can see the interior.
Jail Ale, Landlord and possibly a couple more. It was a few days ago. Nothing of interest happened. Just lots of afternoon drinkers in quiet reflection.

As I remembered - it's still a cosy traditional place with a friendly welcome. 1980s plush - carpet, curtains, wallpaper etc with red as the predominant colour. Royals past and present on the walls. Four cask; TTL, Doom Bar, Dartmoor Jail and a super St Austell Tribute (NBSS 4). Whilst the beer range might be a bit ‘safe’ for these parts it’s kept well and frankly that’s what really matters these days. GBG’23 listed. 8.5

Nice-looking building which interestingly isn't that old - the original was bombed by the Luftwaffe and this structure dates from the mid-1960s. A nice stained glass entry door leads to a comfy (and thankfully warm!) bar with a red pub carpet, retro wallpaper, mint colour scheme, red curtains, divided banquettes and a nice stained (plastic, not glass, I think) flyover on the bar gantry - so not a huge amount of change here over the years. Four ales on, a fairly safe selection of Otter, Jail Ale, Doom Bar and Tribute. The Otter was in decent shape. Calmer and less frantic here than some of the other nearby pubs. I’d be happy to do this one again if I find myself back amongst the Janners. Rated 7.5
