Possibly the best pub in the world!

Well certainly my favourite! Nice atmosphere, plenty of young friendly girls during term time and posh idiots to boot!
Watch out for Will the barman,a tasty bit of hot stuff!
good food, if your really nice they will let you cook it yourself while very drunk. But watch out for a trio of non local lads, constantly stealing women off of locals,ruining exeter hockey socials and generally being very obnoxious! but for some reason everyone loves them!

The atmosphere has definitely changed since the new manager has moved in. Welcoming, charming and friendly.

Food is surprisingly good considering the prices, no pretension just simple well cooked pub grub. Great for students!

I would well recommend a visit, especially given the dearth of competition these days in Exeter. If your normal hangouts include the Firehouse and the Imperial then you'll definitely enjoy this

Nice ambience, good value food, good real ales. Excellent old fashioned interior too. Will be back.

New manager has done an amazing job. Good food at ridiculous prices, improved beer selection and quality and has done some work on the interior.

BUT - watch out for a bloke who wears a padlock round his neck who cooks when the owner isn't in. His food is poor in relation, he looks like he wants to kill himself and he puts on loud heavy metal music which kills the atmosphere completely. He served up some 'Garlic Bread' recently - consisted of burnt toast and raw garlic, not impressed.

When he's not in, the boss does a great job on the food. Brie Bacon & Cranberry baguette is bloody brilliant, comes with chips and is only £3.95. Good home made pizzas are served after 6pm.

Drink The Vic Dry is reportedly returning in Sep/Oct 09.
