Exeter

The Double Locks pub sits in an idyllic location on the edge of Exeter canal, 20 minutes walk from the quayside. Occasional live music, child-friendly, a solid selection of real ales and a reasonable menu. On sunny weekends the pub attracts many punters, and the May Day bank-holiday beer festival can get very busy, with long queues.

Imperial

10 minutes walk from the city centre, a decently priced J D Weatherspoons pub.

The Angel is a warm hearted bar in the centre of Exeter. It is independent and promotes great quality in everything: staff, drinks and music. With a relaxed atmosphere during the day, it then turns into a pumping party bar at night.

A bar with a nightclub above.

The Well House

Attached to Michael Caines restaurant on Cathedral Green. Good selection of Real Ales, and a skeleton in the basement!

The Old Firehouse

Open until 2 or 3 am most nights, the Firehouse is a pub serving local ales, ciders and food until the wee hours. The 14" pizzas, served from 9pm after the normal menu ends are highly recomended, at £7.00 each. Live folk/surf-rock on Fridays, jazz/world on Saturdays, flamenco guitar on Thursdays. Occasionally there is an entry charge on weekend nights

The Cavern

Live music venue with bands most evenings. Be warned that the Toilets are not for the faint-hearted, however it is a nursery for new talent with bands like Muse, Coldplay and Radiohead playing early in their careers.
