I like coming here to watch football and the lads behind the bar are always as sound as a pound. Today, I met Callum, who was cheerful, great company and had the right personality and charisma to run a bar. Give Callum the aux and let him play his music! He has amazing taste and it's what's missing in today's bars and pubs. Be different, be brave and see what happens.

Nice sports themed bar, inside Hotel Indigo in Exeter. Friendly staff, decent beer and nice food available. Recommended

Turned up to watch the football and there was 1 person in the bar. No atmosphere at all. But the match we wanted was on . So sat down few drinks and watched the game. All was well until 15 minutes to go and because some other people arrived and as they wanted to watch the Formula 1 race we were told by the barman he was changing the channel. Just because they outnumbered us. When we then spoke to the manager they stuck to the story of us being outnumbered. So we had to leave. And with only 15 minutes to go we could not find another bar in time and missed 3 goals scored. Just be careful when you enter this place and other people come in after you . Would not recommend at all.
