Quick info
About Bull and Bush
Bull and Bush is a pub in Plymouth, on a large, mainly social housing estate at 40 Uxbridge Dr. It is open daily and takes cash only, with no card payments and no cash machine, so drinkers need to bring cash. Disco nights play Tamla Motown and Michael Jackson, giving the pub a dance-floor night alongside its regular live music, which runs weekly or often. A pool table is set up for play, and the pub supports its own pool team. Locals and trades customers make up the drinking crowd. A Thai takeaway sits next door.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers describe a friendly estate pub where the atmosphere is the main draw, and live entertainment is the most common reason given. Several mention weekly live music and a disco, with Tamla Motown and Michael Jackson singled out by those who enjoyed the nights. Close behind are the welcoming locals and a landlady described as friendly, with one visitor saying strangers chatted to their group. A good pool table, a supported pool team and reasonably priced beer come up as well, and one reviewer praises the bar staff. Another likes that the pub is clean and well laid out and hasn't had a makeover, simply staying a place to meet and have a drink. The recurring complaint is that the pub is cash only. One reviewer says it would have earned five stars if it took cards or had a cash machine. Another reviewer, in a three-star review, says the takeaway next door serves lovely Thai food.
