About Us
The Drakes Drum is a historic pub in Plymstock, named after Sir Francis Drake, one of Plymouth's most iconic figures. Opened after World War II, the pub honours Drake’s legacy and the famous legend of his drum, said to sound if England is ever in danger.
With a large garden area featuring TVs, an outdoor bar, and a newly decorated interior with a darts board, The Drakes Drum is perfect for sports fans and those seeking live music every Friday and Saturday.
YOUR LOCAL. TURNED FESTIVAL.
This August, Craft Fest is coming to Drakes Drum Plymstock, bringing live entertainment, great value and a fantastic atmosphere for the whole community to enjoy.
It’s more than just a day at the pub - it’s a chance to get together, make memories and celebrate summer with the people who make your local special.
DEALS THAT GO DOWN EASY
Our prices are as easy to swallow as the drinks themselves. From big-name beers to your favourite spirits and mixers, we’ve always got a belter of an offer behind the bar.
WHERE GOOD TIMES DO GOOD THINGS
At Craft Union, we believe the pub should be more than just a place to grab a pint – it’s the heart of the community. From fundraising nights to charity challenges, our operators and locals pull together to make a real difference.
JOIN THE CRAFT UNION FAMILY
We’re always on the lookout for brilliant people to run our pubs, the kind who know their locals by name and their regular’s drink by heart. If you’ve got passion, drive, and a knack for bringing people together, you could be just who we’re after.
