The Bell is a good pub. I used to drink there regularly in the mid 90s, along with the Hat & Feather (RIP).

Do they still have an internet café out the back?

no, the room is now used for opn mike, ukelele sessions, movies etc. there is a cmputer with net access still by the bar though...what more could you ask for? (apart from an urban meetup there...)

Nooooooooooooooooo.

Ok, it's not that bad. Decent beer, crap sandwiches (apart from the mozzerella one) and some nice people.

(RIP) the hat.

When I'm in Devon, I usually stick close to home and drink in the Silverton Pubs, The Lamb and the Silverton Inn usually.The lamb does Exe Valley Breweries stuff and O Hanlons. I dont drink in the Exeter pubs much cos I dont know whats what with them now. When I worked in Exeter, many years back, The Coachmakers was my local

We had a very pleasant afternoon there at Easter weekend - a[art from it being the first time I met easy g

Disgusting toilets though.

It would be a couple of years ago, however, had a lovely night in wonderful surroundings at the Kings Head. The Tram Car like interior is fabulous.

The Old England - the original and still the best. Crust ain't what it used to be though!

The Eclipse Bar: makes me feel old but the kids there have the right attitude even if they do have appalling taste in music.

The Croft. Not as good as it's heyday as the Brewhouse but a good gig venue. The beer selection is absolute crap though which makes me weep when I go in there. I remember when they served the strongest beer in the country!

Good to know that somebody upthread appreciated the Sunday dinner at the Cadbury. One of the cooks lives underneath me, I'll tell him that his efforts are remembered.

Nowadays the Watershed is my favourite bar. Cheap and reasonable food, central and sometimes they have Hoegaarden on tap.

The Double Locks has been one of my favourite overnight stops for many years on my way to and from motorcycle rallies "up country".

I went to the Double Locks when i was in Exeter a few weeks back. Really nice pub...
Had a couple of jars of something called 'Devon cider' which had dodgy looking stuff floating in it. Still drank it though...made me jump about like a mad thing for my mate's kiddy...so i was at least useful while being really pissed

I like the Bell in Bath when i go there I went to one of the Ukelele sessions in the back room and they gave us song sheets. We sung along to Ring of Fire and YMCA One of the blokes did a great George Formby impression and another one did his own compositions which were full of swearing
It was great fun...

I went to the Old Green Tree last time i was up visiting CyberFairy. It was small but perfectly formed and had nice cider on draught and nice old geezers to talk to at the bar...
