Green Gables Inn, Exeterback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
ROUGH with a capital R! 5/10

Filthy from the outside, worse inside.
Full of racist skinheads, with more black eyes than brain cells.
Nearly always a police car stationed outside, looking to catch the latest prison escapee or crack dealer.

I was the curate at St Thomas's Church, just down the road from this pub in Cowick Street, a few years ago, and (apart from the First and Last under the previous management) I wouldn't drink nowhere else other than the Green Gables. It's full of characters (a lot of Exeter's Irish community drink here). Bob, the landlord, is a very likeable bloke, and you will never be short of conversation. This is classic spit and sawdust: a pub just as it should be; without constant Sky TV and juke boxes. It was a real home-from-home for me. Thoroughly recommended.

Friendly customers, nutty bar staff and a flirtatious landlord! Excellent entertainment value so if your fresh out of the local nut house, welcome!

Great pub without a student in sight. Real staff, real cider and real fist fights every weekend. Bliss!

A good old fashioned pub serving all sorts of cider and ales, lovely beer garden and a warm welcome
