Becketts Rooftop Bar in Exeter

We visited Becket's as it was my husband's birthday and it was a special occasion and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome the service was excellent and the decore was on point and that view over Exeter from the rooftop brilliant and even a birthday drink as it was a birthday lovely touch will return

Beautiful view made better by the ambience of the bar. Cocktails were delicious and well made. Romantic spot for a date.

Went in on a Saturday evening and was greeted at the top of the lift. The gentleman sat us down and explained that it was table service. The bartenders were very busy with a cue at the bar. Seemed like they were very understaffed. However eventually one of the bartenders came over and took our order. Our drinks were delicious and would very much recommend their Tiki cocktail.

Booked far in advance as always busy, received booking confirmation and was incorrect date. Emailed again and came back to me apologising then I received another email confirming the wrong date. I replied asking if it had now been booked correctly and had nothing g back. When myself and friends arrived we had no booking and the man on the door was angry (not at us) and made all of us feel uncomfortable stating he was full. He did finally seat us but it made us feel awkward. When we were sat it took such a long time to come over and ask what we wanted I even went to the bar to ask if I needed to come up. Once drinks arrived they were lovely but tarnished experience

Best rooftop in Exeter with stunning sunset views and amazing cocktails. Staff was very kind and attentive, definitely recommend when in Exeter.

Best spot for quality cocktails! Had a lovely time with friends and most beautiful views. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Some food options would be great though. Will be back next summer

Met a group of 6 of my friends in the outside terrace! Had a fabulous evening drinking cocktails in the evening sun! The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was nice and buzzy. The decor inside is very elegant. Definitely recommend for afternoon or evening cocktails.

What a view! Amazing drinks menu, sat on the Rooftop overlooking the ancient skyscape of Exeter dominated by the Cathedral right there. Brilliant. Go into Hotel Indigo and straight to the lifts you'll be there in 2 minutes. Well worth it.

Upon arrival, we spoke to the lovely receptionist downstairs who informed us that Beckett’s were taking walk-ins until 4:30. We went up to Beckett’s and there were only around 6 people there where we were greeted by the host who looked at his tablet to see if there was a table available, which there quite clearly was. We were told we could only have a table until 6:30…it was only 3:30. Two ladies arrived at a table next us, both smartly dressed having been sat by the host and were about to order a drink. They were then told that they had to leave as they were wearing flip flops/sandals on which didn’t comply with their dress code. At this point, the host and another member of staff started arguing in-front of the customers whether the ladies could actually stay or whether they needed to leave. This made the ladies choose to leave. My previous experience of this bar was that we had to wait 45 minutes for our drinks when the bar had maybe only 10 customers and at least 4 staff there working. We shall not be returning and would advise everyone else not to bother, plenty of better cocktail bars in Exeter. Really disappointing as this should be so good, like it’s adjoining hotel is.

Do NOT come here if you either want a drink...or a fun night! Booked a table...20mins to get our order taken, 20 mins for our drinks to arrive. Grumpiest, most unknowlegable waitress. Drinks arrive and within 30mins we (as a group of 50year olds!) were told to keep it down by the ever unsmiling front of house guy! Saturday night...in a bar...??? Didn't realise it was a library? We weren't exactly swinging from the light fittings...we were laughing...god forbid anyone enjoys themselves here. One saving grace was a very young, smiley waiter. He won't last as he was doing a great job!

Honestly AVOID AVOID AVOID. It is probably the rudest, worse and biggest waste of money and time. You HAVE to book or you’ll get turned away. Then order at the bar. Wait for your drinks - which are probably slightly over priced for what you’re getting. God help you if you are sat there when it’s closing. You’ll be told to leave. Do not expect a smile. Do not expect a drink to come to your table. Do not expect more than one member of staff. Beautiful location but between the staff here and the awful hotel customer service you’ll be better going to another city.

Lovely spot for a drink, with great views across cathedral area of Exeter. Reasonable drink list and lovely welcome - just a shame its bar service not table service.

Friends of ours were visiting and stayed here so arranged to meet for drink at Becketts roof top bar but was booked ( so obviously no priority to their guest) so had drink in lobby and be prepared as 30min wait when not busy 🤷‍♀️ and no clearing of tables. So gave this place a 2nd chance and booked Becketts for my mums 70th birthday pre drinks, oh and this time only 40mins wait!!!!! Then had to drink fast as had dinner reservations (luckily somewhere else) so not again for us and as talking to other people same with them, which is sad as I want good things for Exeter! I think maybe they need more staff or better training 😞
