What a fantastic pub!! I've spent the last week in Exeter and was here every evening of it. They can show pretty much any sport you ask for on one of their many screens. The TSO team are friendly, hard working, have great knowledge of not only the products they sell but the sport they show and are as welcoming to their numerous local regulars as they are to complete strangers like myself. The local regulars are as friendly as the staff and are one of many many reasons that The Stand Off is one of the best pubs you will ever visit.
