“This is a really friendly, 2 roomed back street corner local in the old style. You should take a moment before entering to look at the outside decoration and try to work out all the musical instruments adorning the walls. This is a proper pub serving the community. I reckon there were 5 of the 8 hand pulls in operation with some local beers available. It's just round the corner from the First & Last Inn, easy enough to find.“

“What a spot on review by Boudicca below and it still holds. It certainly is a locals pub on a back street by a large car park. There is a pool table that takes up considerable room to the rear, the front is a little more comfortable, there is also a nice, shady courtyard area with benches. There were 3 of the Checkstone beers on during our visit, luckily one finished and a new one was pulled through as there would normally be two. It's worth combining with the Grapevine for a two brewpub day.“

“Large brewpub right in the centre of Exmouth, lots of seating inside the pub plus a small patio out the back but also they have a large outdoor seating area in the main square. Looked like 6 hand pulls in operation, some with guests plus around 12 kegs, again some with guests but largely their own beers. Helpful staff with lots of tasters going around, the food looks to be freshly cooked in an open to view kitchen. All the beers I had were well kept. An obvious must visit but also a destination pub.“

“The Merchant is a large modern style pub right on the main square in the centre of Exmouth. Part of the Stonegate chain we found this to be exceptionally clean and well run. Normal food menu and a restricted array of beers but with a couple of local beers on offer, all well kept. Open nice and early, worth a look.“

“An awesome semi modern boozer next to Crossed Anchors with lots of wood, metal and a tiled floor. They have six cask ales and eleven taps of mainly their own beers plus a few guests and an impressive Belgian bottled selection albeit at a price. Great service. They also have an outside terrace on the green during the summer months. They have an awesome selection of their own bottled beers too. Worth coming to Exmouth just to visit this pub.“

“Quite extraordinary for its setting. A top rate beer selection - if a bit odd - at the end of a branch line 20 miles from a not particularly Roxy city for beer (Ex'ter). They do make their own beer but the bigger attraction is the fridge of sporadic but eclectic bottles and the odd tin or too. If craft beer can make it to Exmouth the world is a better place.“

“Really nice pub with period deco style features. Its the taproom for the crossed keys pub, and their beer was readily available, both in bottles and on tap. When I was their they were just finishing their german beer festival with the final beers from 12 or so they had on tap. They also had a fair fe bottles.“

“Small Spoons, one of the better options in Exmouth.“

“I really liked the Grapevine. It was easily the best place we found in Exmouth. It’s a relaxed café bar with some nice art deco stained glass panels, original glittery art and lots of lamps. The service was very friendly and the beer range rather good. They have seven hand pumps, only one of which is a regular (Exeter Avocet) with the rest being rotating guests. The barman seemed to know his stuff so I’d imagine the good choice of beers available when we were there is typical. (Visited 13 January 2015).“

“The First and Last overlooks an unbeautiful carpark so the front windows are frosted. It’s on three levels, long and rangy, going back a long way with a courtyard along the side. It’s nothing special but the service was very friendly and it has the feel of a local (although I imagine it’s the kind of place that could be packed with grockles in the tourist season). We sat on a stage at the front, carefully avoiding the area opposite which was labelled “OAP corner”. There are four hand pumps with two guests, both of them ciders. (Visited 13 January 2015).“

“Our first stop on a trip down the Avocet line (one of the local railway routes centred on Exeter). The Powder Monkey is a stone’s throw from the railway station in an old, double-fronted building with a courtyard at the front. It looks a bit like a dolls’ house. Inside it’s been given the usual Wetherspoon’s treatment although it’s on the small side compared to many of their other places. There are ten hand pumps, two of which were off when we visited.
