If you know Exeter, you probably know us. Tucked just off the high street, we’ve been fuelling good times, great food, and proper pints for years – and we’re only just getting started.

We’ve earned our stripes as one of Exeter’s best-loved ale and cider pubs, the kind of place where everyone feels at home – students, locals, and even the odd lost tourist who never wants to leave.

Our food? No one leaves hungry. Think legendary 14” square pizzas (big, bold, and built to share – or not, we don’t judge). Or dive into topped-up tater tots, braised beef nachos, ox cheek lasagne, and those infamous Devon Red chicken lollipops. And on Sundays, our roasts are the stuff of local legend. Comfort food, packed with serious flavour.

Of course, it wouldn’t be us without a proper pint – from West Country ciders to rotating craft and cask ales, the taps are always flowing.

Whether you’re swinging by for a chilled catch-up or a big night out, you’ll always get a warm welcome from Gemma and the crew. Pull up a chair, grab a pint, and make yourself at home.

We’re not just a pub – we’re a live music institution. Known across Exeter for our buzzing atmosphere and packed-out gigs, we’ve long been a stage for local legends, up-and-coming talent, and the well-known favourites that keep crowds coming back for more.

From stripped-back acoustic sets to full-throttle folk, indie, and everything in between, our music nights bring serious energy – the kind that spills out into the courtyard and keeps the city buzzing.

Looking for the place to be? You just found it.

Got a favourite record? Fancy a proper cocktail? Come on up to the Attic, spin your vinyl, and let our bartenders pour you a Firehouse masterpiece. Every Thursday: signature serves, music, and mischief. No need to book – just rock up and hang out.
