Pint Compass Plymouth

Plymouth, on a clear day

Where's the sun for a pint?

We worked out how much sun reaches the front of 234 Plymouth pubs and bars, hour by hour through the year, from the shape of the buildings around them.

  2. The Falstaff Inn Southway
  3. Mount Batten Bar (Hotel Mount Batten) Plymstock & Mount Batten
  4. Rockfish Plymouth Barbican & Sutton Harbour

The most evening sun out front in summer, 5 to 9pm.

Sun means the sky is clear. We can model buildings and hills; we can't model clouds. The sun out front of each pub is worked out month by month, so every day in July gives July's answer.
