British Beer Company

This BBC location is just a bar. No food is served here. But it is a fun place to socialize and there is a game room upstairs.

Like its namesake empire, the British Beer Company's Plymouth location is one of the few, if not the only, remnants of a domain that once spanned a good portion of coastal Southern New England. There are numerous stories in various media about the decline and fall of both. Much like Britain itself, the BBC Plymouth remains a small but lovely place to visit, partake in a bevy of local and global beverages, and engage in some traditional games and revelry on the second floor. On the last night I was there, Jenga was a particularly popular pastime, as were darts.

Absolutely loved this place and the only downside waa that I didn't get to come back before I left town. Will definitely be there whenever in Plymouth!

Had a great time in a friendly little bar. If they served food we probably would have never left lol.

So I run a local restaurant and the bbc is a pretty well known watering hole for us local industry guys. Sunday night they're suppose to stay open till midnight, there advertised hours, as usual on Sunday 11/23/24 I'm not sure who it was behind the bar but I walk in at 8:17pm coming off a straight 31 hours I'm the kitchen and get told they did last call already cause the bartender has been there since "6:30am". Not open till like noon. You can't possibly be serious. 31 hours straight and we stayed open and the bartender couldn't do 14? 10 on an open? Never have I ever had anything bad to say about this place, I love it!! Not your bar, not your business not to mention how highly unethical closing before advertised hours is. Not to mention the loss of profit in the hundreds for the owner

Not sure about food, but friendly, local atmosphere provided a nice vibe for a drink.

I was there just to have a drink. Took 45 mins to get a beer I never got. I was told by “female manger” to leave. The female manager that said she was the CEO/owner then called the Plymouth police because she did not like that I was going to post a negative review. Had two “bouncer” walk me out too. As I was sitting in my car …when the 4 officer and the supervisor came up to me cause that said I was disrespectful and disorderly. But they shortly found out the truth. I was let go. Because they found out that she lied to the 911 dispatchers and to the officers when they showed up. I never wrote a negative review but I’m very happy to do this one.

Love the bartender on Friday and Saturday nights! Best hidden gem in Plymouth’

My colleagues and I were really looking forward to stopping by this place, hoping to find British ales on tap. The only beer on tap that wasn't American was Guinness. When I asked if that was the only British beer on tap, the server snapped at me and said, "First of all that beer is Irish, not British, it's Irish!" I hate to break it to her, but Ireland is technically one of the British Isles. In any case, we were disappointed in the beer selection and the service. If you're looking for a lot of hoppy American beers in cans, this is your place.

We always go here on family reunion the service is always amazing and fast . I love the restaurant. Nothing has changed inside or outside since I've been there. My food was so good I will be order this next time !

walked in. waited. waited. nobody acknowledged us. asked if we should seat ourselves. some chick said"yeah". We did. eventually got a menu without being asked about drinks. 2 staff on the floor. ignored for another10 minutes at least while watching the staff hang out with a friend at the bar. eventually walked out without being noticed. Be a bar or a restaurant. Clearly you can't do both.

Great spot! Totally loved this little bar on a side street in Downtown Plymouth. Great beer selection and good service. Decent location and just a lot of fun! They had the Sox on TV which was entirely appropriate when the World Cup (soccer) was on in all the other bars we visited. I'm not sure what it is about the place that made us enjoy it so much but we had a fantastic time and will definitely return someday! It just felt like the perfect place to relax with a beer and good people to spend the time with.

Love it!! I came here three yearrs ago new in town theY Are friendly staff barrtenders and good fun people to tAlk !!!

Beer. That's about it (as well as some standard cocktails), but what more do you really need? This is nothing like the other locations in the local BBC chain. Looking for food? Go somewhere else. Looking for ambience? Go somewhere else. Looking for a good beer, and no fluff? Go to the BBC on Middle Street. If it's Friday night, you'll probably see me there.

Oval joint; the size of a postage stamp. Only locals, dropping their ahhhs (r-s) like nobody's business. Hockey on one telly, and Red Sox on the other. For a Southerner like myself it doesn't get any more perfect. Great beers on tap and the barkeep was friendly. I'd definitely come back.

If I could give this establishment 0 stars I would. Instead I explain the poor service I received from the ignorant staff. It is even more of a shame some the location and the setting a prime for a great bar setting. Needless to say, very disappointed.

Off all the places in Plymouth that I could have picked to have lunch, I picked BBC. I really just wanted some baked brie and some other appetizers, so I dragged Hubby inside BBC to get some grub. Upon ordering our beers, we realized that this location does not serve food. WOMP WOMP. There were bags of Doritos, Smart Food and Lays available, but no baked brie that I was looking forward to. However, this BBC is just like other BBCs - excellent selection of beers on tap and in bottles. The upstairs is this cozy little living room area, with a flat screen, fireplace and dartboards. I think this would be a fun place to come with a group of friends for a few cold ones, but make sure you eat somewhere else beforehand / afterwards since there is no kitchen.

So I had jury duty for about 7 hours and sat in a room for far too long with strangers with less than desirable conversations.... So obviously when I leave, I need a drink of epic depths and maybe a burger of siamese portions to help me forget my early day. After a breakfast/lunch establishment being closed right next store(due to winter hours), I stumbled in here. Only to find no food. Which is fine. Obviously I turn to the back bar for spirit selections: to my amazement this non-intrusive but friendly bartender quenches my thirst. The bourbon/ whisky/ single malt select is quite note worthy. Not to mention the micro-brews (that when politely asked to sample) are impressive as well. I may not know beers well, but have worked in establishments that carry over 100+diff selections and I know a rarity when I see it. My only complaint is no food. However, smart owner decision to not partake seeing as how it most likely isn't greatly lucrative. Butttttttt if u are starving, they might have cheezits or cheetos;) Great beer selections. Great spirits. Great service. Can't ask for more, oh yeah besides food!

Taking this for what it is, it is a small, locally owned chain that is always a "go to" when in doubt. If you are hungry and want something that will feed you and serve it's purpose this is it. This location is a LOT smaller then many of the BBC chains I have been to before, so it may seem a little cramped. The whole BBC chain is better then really big name chains and just a little worse then a small, one location Mom and Pop shop, and that is a fact about this restaurant. It is good, food is good, and all around just good. Nothing wowing, service was alright, generic and nothing to write home about. The buy one get one free pizza deal that was going on was great for my group and they really liked it. I went with the crock of chili, which was yummy, and I liked the type of tortilla chips they gave with it, they are the really thin and crispy kind. But the only thing that really rubbed me the wrong way during my visit was the event coordinator/manager (?) sitting in an area in the dining room and working. She was on the phone very loudly talking on the phone planning events with people and it really took away from our experience. Maybe there is no space for her to work otherwise (but why would there not be an office for someone to work in/do this type of service?). I think they need to avoid having this individual sit out where people are dining and reconfigure where they have this person do those calls.

Their cook is one of the following 1. In need of glasses 2. In need of reading lessons 3. In the first grade 4. In need of cooking lesson or 5. Is such an idiot!!!!!!!! Can I say more?

This place is incredible. It's narrow, dark, and has great beers on tap. It's also mighty cheap. I spent $38 the other night on 1 wine, 3 big beers, and 5 PBRs. That strikes me as pretty darn reasonable. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The upstairs has several comfortable chairs (and couch), as well as a few tables, darts, a tv, etc. Downstairs is cozy, intimate, and other words that describe small spaces. The BBC is definitely my kind of bar, and it could be yours too. Don't go there if you want to dance, have food, or get in a fight.. it's just not that kind of place. DO go there to have a drink at a really neat spot where the people are cool and the beer is awesome.

Decent rotating beer selections, which include local beers. Go upstairs for a less crowded feel, darts, and comfy old leather chairs. *Does get noisy and crowded downstairs on weekends.

Ignore Jim M. below, he obviously doesn't realize that there is more than one British Beer Company restaurant! The BBC has multiple restaurants including Walpole, Pembroke, and Plymouth. I, myself, have only been to the Plymouth location which is located right off of Route 3. The BBC Plymouth is a lively tavern and restaurant with a wide selection of beers on tap and an excellent menu. The weekends are always a blast with live music, sometimes coverbands, sometimes local bands. My first time going was to see a local band called The Gobshites. I went for the band, came back again and again for the buffalo chicken pizza! After 9 it's 21+, so bring your id's. Great place to socialize.

This place is a hole-in-the-wall on a side street off of Main St in Plymouth. It is somewhat tight in terms of space but the atmosphere is great and the beer and liquor choices are very good as well. We went in for some drinks after a rehearsal dinner and everyone was friendly and the bartender was fun. If we are ever in Plymouth again this would be at the top of my list of places to stop in for a beer.

This is one of my favorite spots to start AND finish the night. The atmosphere is that of a classic European pub; small, dark, inviting. The bar staff are knowledgeable in their vast and ever-changing selection of craft and artisan brews. If you're in Plymouth, this is one stop you have to make!

We stopped off here for a quick pint, and ended up spending about an hour and a half. The guys behind the bar were trying to swap out a stereo receiver, but still pulled us pints, as we joked about the extreme age of the receiver, the randomness of the wiring of the bar, and the terrible NFL playoff game showing on the TV in front of us. This is a cute pub, and a sweet little side-street spot for a pint any old time.

What a nice little British pub in Plymouth! The beer selection is fantastic here and the barmaids were also very nice. This pub is just a few steps away from the rock. I was really jonesing for a Fullers London Pride and the keg was acting up. The barmaid suggested an alternate - a nice Hobgoblin Legendary Ruby Beer and it was freakin' amazing. There's no food at this location - but it doesn't matter, the beer more than makes up for it.

Stopped here after dinner for a nightcap and had a great time. The local beer, ad drinks were good, and enjoyed listening to the banter of the regulars and watching the Red Sox game. There was an entertainer who was exceptional and he helped to make the night. When we are back in Plymouth, we'll be sure to stop again.

The first thing any visitor to the BBC in Plymouth Center needs to realize is: unlike all of the other BBC restaurants THERE IS NO FOOD HERE. This is a bar only. That being said, I love this place. It is dimly lit inside, everything is wood, and if you are a craft beer drinker the BBC has the imports as well as FINALLY stocking great domestic craft beer. This is a great place for a group of two or three friends to come in and grab a couple pints. If you travel up the spiral staircase, you are greeted by four leather chairs, a foosball table and a projector playing whatever the heck you want it to play. There is no adult supervision upstairs so feel free to "get weird." Cheers!

This is a great pub for people like myself that enjoy clean, quiet, quaint and cozy places. On weekend nights it gets pretty crowded, but during the week you don't have to be worried about being bothered by a lot of young kids getting drunk and being loud. They don't serve food at this location but they do have a large selection of beers and the staff is pretty knowledgeable. This is a great place to sit and have a quiet beer by yourself or with a friend.

good selection of rotating beers, it can get very crowded. don't think I've ever been able to sit at the bar. No Food at this location. worth checking out. literally a " hole in the wall" establishment but always a good place to stop in and have a drink.

The Plymouth location is amazing. Not really as sold on this chain but I will always grab a pint when in plymouth.

I am hesitant on posting about this bar because it is such a great little find. This bar is great on a weeknight. My friends and I always chill upstairs in the comfy seats. No food served here, no waitstaff bugging you. Just a few bartenders and a pretty good beer selection. It is a small bar so I can't imagine a weekend night here, but as far as chilling with one or two buddies over a pint, this place is spot on.

Very poor service from the bartender on the evening of Monday July 14th 2014. Bartender seemed to be in a poor mood, ended up telling a party of 15 off for being overly loud. Not sure how long she has worked here but she doesn't seem to be on the regular rotation of bartenders. Perhaps our conversation was bothering the one other patrons in the bar downstairs. Very sad to give a poor review as we love this pub and bring large groups on a weekly basis.

Bar is great usually have great service from the bartenders. but sad to say I will not be going back until they get rid of the heavy set, younger than most people in there, bouncer they have at the door most weekends. he's ruder than rude and is bad for there business. but you'll find the same selection of beer and better a short walk up the street in a much bigger establishment.

Before making the last leg of our trip to Hyannis to work for the week, my wife & I decided to stay in Plymouth on Saturday night (May 16th). After checking in to the hotel, we both agreed we wanted some pizza and beer, and decided that the British Beer Company would be our best bet. Unbeknownst to us, this is the only British Beer Company without a kitchen. However, because it was early and the bar was somewhat lively, we decided to stay for a drink. So glad we did! The draft beer selection is one of the best around, the prices are very fair, and the two female bartenders they had on Saturday night were knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Also, many thanks to the young man working the door that night who recommended we try the Speedwell Tavern next door for dinner, it was absolutely delicious. We will definetly be coming back!

best "hole-in-the-wall" around. great beer selection. small and intimate with good music playing (did i actually hear the clash and ramones in a plymouth bar?) been here a few times no trouble, nice people, cold beer, good music, BUT no food :(
