The Angel Bar in Exeter

I used to really like this pub. Gone rapidly downhill. Such a shame. The reviews below do not reflect it as it is now.

I used to like it here, but last time I went in, fridges were basically empty, all taps off except for Fosters.

Fantastic pub in town. Great selection of ales. Service was excellent. Friendly staff. Decor was just what you want from a pub. Highly recommend.

Right opposite Exeter central train station. Can't remember much as it was the end of the night. Good atmosphere, really quirky place. DJ was playing

Music is too loud to be loud to have a conversation

It is a nice, eclectic venue that is full of soul with an exciting atmosphere. The drinks are good and the music is always good fun. I don't like toilets as they need to be renovated pretty badly. They smell and are really dirty however this is expected for a boozer.

16:15 on a Saturday and the place is closed. Never serve food ether

Always good here. Especially on a snow day:- turbo mulled wine! Yum! Update:- the Mickey Mouse is back!

Reasonably priced drinks and a great chilled atmosphere, not a pub that does food unless you count a packet of crisps but definitely one that does a great pint

No food but a proper pub atmosphere, popular with rail passengers waiting for trains from Central. The DJ nights here are legendary...

Super busy and good atmosphere. It took allot of effort to order a drink, ad there were so many people at the bar. Good music, dancing space.

Quirky little bar right opposite the train station.

Extortionate prices & disgusting toilets

Locals are locals. Very welcoming.

Good beer,good company,good music

Great fire ,,posh sofas,,,good music ,, home from home ,,perfect location right opposite Central Station,,so no excuse .xx

Good entertainment good selection of beer. Friendly atmosphere.

Found the Angel Bar by accident and spent an hour or so enjoying peace, good ale and a relaxing time. Many thanks it was just what I needed. Keep doing what your doing.

It absolutely stank of weed when we walked in.

Great bar for drinks and dancing.

Nice pub but seriously no heating!!! I am still frozen hours later.

Spokojnie wypić parę cidr lub iw sam częste odwiedzam jak jestem w okolicy

Great pint, friendly staff and atmosphere.

Cosy bar opposite Exeter Central train station. Really handy to have a beer while waiting for a train over the road, and nice to sit by the fire in the winter All ales and one cider were unavailable on the Sunday I went which was unfortunate. Apparently due to a busy Saturday night. No evidence this is usual, so will assume it's just down to a busy weekend.

Nice late night drinking spit and sawdust pub good atmosphere

Great old bar opposite Exeter Central station.good service and a friendly atmosphere. Badly let down by the toilet facilities. Graffiti on the doors, missing tiles. Looks like it hasn't been touched since the 70s and not particularly clean. Shame as otherwise a great old pub.

Honestly can't remember the night I was out so must of been good 😂

Sorry to give a pub such a low ratting but it is on its way out. Love Pubs and hate giving such a bad starring. Cheers

Great place, brill vibe, dog friendly 💕

Great bar with great staff and management. Had a bit of an issue once and the management team responded within the hour and really helped sort out the issue. It plays great music and has a very friendly atmosphere

What an experience...you have to go. Small venue for a rave but what tunes. Big up to the dj on crutches. People were friendly, if you want to dance your socks off til 2am go to the Angel just don't expect 5* go with an open mind...

Super stuff, atmosphere, nice. And quiet

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and nice beer

Simple, no fuzz, friendly little pub bang on the Exeter city centre. If you want to hang out with your friends, you can hang out here. Nice location and friendly people.

Was good but I unfortunately got served chicken and I don't eat meat. That did wobble me a touch

Nice place nice pint.excellent bar lady Jess,a local bar with a great mix of young & old drinking here .Does a very busy passing trade from main train station across the road

Friendly bar with a good choice of ales

Good pint of beer, although the only beer on was Exmoor, so no choice.

Open at odd hours and their hospitality is great. Cosy sweet and decent

Groovy town pub with good music - lovely staff, great coffee!!

Its a good atmosphere for a small quaint bar. Has a log fire and its cozy. A few seats to choose from and looks like they open at night as there's a dj booth

Been an intermittent visitor since attending Exeter College in mud 1980s. Loved it then, love it now. Proper Ale. Not flash. Friendly staff. 🍺🍺

Nice staff and good products. Just needs a bit of a refurb. Quite small inside, can be quite crowded. Tables weren't clean, no beer mats on table so wet all over.

Amazing Exeter pub, few of the outstanding. Needs to be visited!!

Experienced quiet and busy side in one night. Feels open and welcoming when quiet but cramped when busy (but hey all pubs need to be busy for the takings at the moment)

An amazing bar, wonderful staff, great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Quality staff and really good night out

I love this place. Full of life and a real sense of a welcoming community no matter you're background. My favourite place to go for a drink! If you're passing you gotta pop in and have a drink

Nice friendly staff , clean but still got character.....and clean, fresh toilets !!

There arnt to many jazzy places left to go out for a propa real boogie or bust down in Exeter city any more, but this being ny favourite place to go out for a drink and bust out a few moves to some real dope grooves.

Go here in the day. Sit, drink, read, muse. Then come back on the night events and shuffle or strut the dance floor and just soak it up and sweat it out.

Decent bar opposite central train station. Stays open until around 12.30. Always decent beer and friendly staff

Chilled out atmosphere and a real good pub 🖒

Always great music, very friendly staff. Great atmosphere and homely feel, coat hangers and papers for customer use, go every tuesday

Friendly good beer cheap prices! Slainte mhath Richard!

Never a queue, always a different crowd

Looked rough but good place chilled

Great little pub, friendly staff

Pretty chilled out place for a drinky

Decent enough pub with a reasonable selection.

Very good place for a night out to start and end your time in the. It has the train station across the road.

Good pub with good music the beer is quite exspensive though

The angel bar has a good atmosphere

It is a reliable, slightly sticky, unpretentious, accepting kinda place

A bar that feels like home. Incredible staff with personality and colourful customers. Simply Unique.

Good boozer bit rough around the edges but good night

Great contemporary pub; Well kept real ale, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Weekend music is excellent if you like to dance. In my personal opinion, The Angel has been the best place to go for drinks and a dance where you can feel assured it won't be plagued with idiots!

Comfortable bar, nice atmosphere.

Great place for a quick pint or two when waiting for the train

I love the atmosphere in here. The music is Seattle sound / grunge, and the feel is a great balance of dimly lit student bar and cosy.

Really great pub. Quirky and with good live acts. A one off!

Cool bar great evenings good music

Friendly, often best music in town, always a good bet

Cosy, Kool Chilling corner of town... Cheers...

Always love the angel ! Such a lush atmosphere and filled with Devon beauties

Convenient for Exeter Central station but an otherwise unconvincing pub with poor decor. Three casks ales, Doom Bar, Otter and Exeter Avocet. Bit pricey at £4 for Avocet which is a low strength ale.

Decent place for a pint before a train.

We had come to Exeter for the evening by train after a day in Exmouth. We couldn't believe how difficult it was to find a decent little cosy friendly pub to have a couple of drinks before we went for a meal. Surprise.....there are not many in the centre of the city. Eventually we came across the Angel. It sold good beer, had a good friendly atmosphere with not too many students around! And it sold beer instead of wall to wall lagers. Bar staff were good and even though we bought and hated the honeyed chilli nuts the landlady gave us some alternative peanuts for free! We sat on a sofa next to a log fire and had a super time.

Very short of staff had to wait a long time for service

If you want a chill night then go to Angel bar

Decent beers and drinks selection. Went in the daytime in winter, had a nice heat from the log burner and a good atmosphere.

A nice pub, good ale & helpful staff- it was busy but everything seemed to work well!

Great pub with great staff. Like a proper pub it serves drinks not food. Great music if you like old school hip hop and reggae. It gets a real mix of people, regulars, people waiting for trains, etc. Doesn't have telly and doesn't permit people wearing football shirts, so avoids all that sort of thing. The toilets are truly dire. Reminds me of a student union disco! Love it!

Very good friendly pub with good music and staff!!

Its a great cosy and atmospheric place, wicked shots selection!

Proper pub. Decent beer friendly staff.

Fantastic open mic nights and other live music. Great atmosphere.

This place feels really small and claustrophobic. The service is good, but ugh

Not the best layout for a music venue but they do well.

Always a great, friendly pub and always meet really interesting people here

Better on a night out thanks just for a quick pint. A little expensive!

Friday and Saturday for DJs and Wednesdays for musicians and the brave

Bar staff top team... Very friendly and would go there next time... Cheers

Ideal for the guys small selection of ale

Nice pub craft beers and smoking allowed at back

Ok for a drink before catching train as directly across the road from the station but not much room inside

A quick pint across the road from Exeter central station and serves coffee as well

Comfortable welcoming environment

Friendly staff on Fridays and good beer/ atmosphere, what more could you want.

Good for a quick drink before getting the train
