Air - Plymouth

The three or four drinking places clustering within yards of each other on this corner seem to be connected. They also, especially Cuba do deals on booze right down to £1 a pint late evening. Eating and swilling in Air I was told by regular friends that Air is part of the same business as Cuba and there is no problem it's buying a cheap pint in Cuba and drinking it in Air where otherwise you could be laying bearer £4 at the Mr Bean food and drink counter within the Air enclosure. As so it was that on a balmy early term weekday evening we could sit for hours with passable burger type food washed down with middling quality but intoxicating cheap booze. It was also buzzing so the owners have clearly hit on a well balanced formula. If you are that bit older than the student population then like us you need some of those in your party to buffer you from feeling awkward and sticking out like a sore thumb.....but then after the third pint it may not matter.

It's a nice cosy area over the road from the university. Drinks are expensive (to the average person they'll be roughly the same as any pub pint). A slightly cramped seating area although it's no trouble to move around. Definitely suitable for smaller groups.

During my time at Uni in Plymouth, rain or shine, you would probably find me with a beer in Air. It's a great place to chill and have a drink with friends and perfect location to have a break from uni work! I went throughout the year, however on a warm summer evening it is the perfect spot (but it does get busier during summer months) Not the cheapest place to drink if your a student however the atmosphere in Air make it worth the cost plus during the day you can bring drinks over from Cuba which always helped bank! Plus the food deals they have during the week are perfect when you're on the sesh!

We purchased coffee to drink in also had takeaway coffee. The coffee was lovely, the staff help full. It was nice to sdit in the open air with nice warm heaters. In December it was warm enough. Worth a visit. Well priced coffee,

I visited this restaurant with friends on a quiet and drizzly Tuesday afternoon. There were only about 20 customers present at the time. I ordered a bottled cider, which the bartender poured into a glass. However, upon sitting down, I noticed that the glass was very dirty and grimy, with dried bubbles from beer on the side. It seemed as though the glass had not been properly cleaned and had been mistakenly placed on the shelf. When I asked for a clean glass, the bartender had to go through several dirty glasses before finding one for me. My friends also had dirty glasses. I understand that it can be difficult to remove milk stains from glasses, but I suggest that the management instruct their staff to wash out milky coffee cups separately before putting them through the general glass wash, so that the milk doesn't ruin the pint glasses. Overall, it is a nice place to enjoy a pint in the sun, but improvements are needed in terms of glass cleanliness.
