I attended a concert here on Tuesday, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the gig, I was not impressed…read morewith the venue and staff. The acoustics were okay. Barrier held about 70 people. Reasonably priced beer, wine, and spirits. The layout of this venue is a mess-so many sets of doors, it's like a maze. The merchandise for sale was almost impossible to locate after the gig, as all of the exits put people out onto the street again. This was disappointing, as I hoped to buy merchandise. The staff was incredibly rude and ignorant, speaking badly about the artist performing that night, and making fun of the people who had queued overnight to be front row. It was highly evident that the venue staff did not take their jobs seriously at all. Fortunately, the gig was fantastic.

I have only been there for music concerts and mainly because there is nowhere else in the southwest…read more(Thats the pointy bit to the left of Bristol!) to see bands, save for the hall for cornwall. I have to say, the acoustics are dreadful. They are so bad that a few years ago, motorhead could not play there as deep purple were there when motorhead would have been there. motorhead then played exeter university that night and have never been back to plymouth. The other problem is the scheduling, where there is no one there all year and then everyone comes in November. I suppose this is common, though. All in all, not as good as the old St austell collisseum - ah, those were the days!!!! Oh, and there is a skaiting rink and other things to do, although I have never sampled these.

Centrally located, great resource, lots of visiting live bands (mostly looky-likey bands), cinema…read moreshowings and a nice friendly cafe. Although pushchairs aren't welcome in the cafe there is a large lounge/bar area inside which is great (and gives them somewhere to crawl around) and an outside space (although the canal is very close so supervision is needed). Cafe fare isn't top quality but it's OK - there are better places in Tavistock if you want good coffee but this is near the park and swimming pool and so can be a handy stop-off. Often art/photography exhibitions in the lounge area.

This, and I must be careful what I write here, is a very poor venue. There is a coffee shop which…read moreis well used by pensioners and the gallery area also has a bar. First off, the coffee is one of the worst I've ever drank. A cappuccino does not usually consist of filter coffee and steamed milk. There is a reason why this is not common practice, because it is not nice. £1.40 for a coffee is comparably cheap in Tavistock, and they could easily charge £1.80 and use the profits to train their staff to be proper baristas and use better coffee. The gallery, from previous experience, is very poor. The methods of hanging on the walls include blu-tacking the poles attached to the pictures which often get knocked and then appear wonky. The walls are painted less than frequently, and there is a huge piano sat in the way of access to the pictures. The wharf is often closed for functions and so paying exhibitees do not receive true value for money. The cinema is mainly disused. The films are often months out of date and the screen and audio is atrocious. The poor audio makes the theatre, as a live venue, equally poor.
