Beer gardens in the sun

89 Plymouth pubs and bars with a beer garden or tables outside, from their own websites and OpenStreetMap. We've worked out how much sun reaches the front of each one, hour by hour, on a clear day.

The sun model looks at the pavement or terrace in front of each pub. A garden round the back can be sunnier or shadier; the pub's page says which side we looked at. Find who's in the sun at a given hour.
