The Exchange in South Hams

Stopped off for drink as we meet landlords out and about in Cornwall we said we would pop in had a lovely evening nice friendly atmosphere.

Large pub, wide range of lagers, not so good on the ciders.

Good sports pub, friendly team, good atmosphere. No food.

Good local pub, good balance of entertainment. Could do with more ale choice

I go there some afternoons I don’t eat but the pub staff are really friendly and the drinks are great and very well priced.

Very friendly staff, Dave the landlord is a star, always organising great events.

Alishas the best bar maid ever and they even sell roast chicken’ crisps

Brilliant Day staff - Ashley, Brilliant night staff - Harrison, Cheryl, Alisha, Lis, Kim, fantastic food 😂 fantastic atmosphere. Best Pub in Ivybridge xx

Alisha and Harrison are always friendly and welcoming, great place!!

Had a really great night at the exchange tonight. Elysia and Sheryl were particularly lovely :)

Good pub, especially for watching live sports or larger groups. Excellent range of taps/draught. Dog friendly.

Went to see a band play, got great service despite how busy it was, and it was a great atmosphere:)

I just moved to ivybridge from a big city and was pretty apprehensive about the nightlife. The exchange is fab, seems to draw a crowd even on a Sunday. Have something on everyday and the staff are brilliant. Pop in I'm sure you'll be just as surprised.

Called in on stop over before cardiff game the staff are friendly the landlord a good guy price of beer not that bab £3.90 a pint

We just popped in for a quick drink waited over 5mins to get served. The pub was full but just one person serving?

It has been nicely refurbished, and has a really good atmosphere. The bar staff were very friendly and efficient. The new Guv'nor Dave is a decent guy who knows how to run a Pub

New owners Not the friendliest of landlady's Don't do food, have no local knowledge The only response to any question asked was Don't know just moved here Doesn't make a repeat visit likely Just a meh experience

Recently refurbished to a very high standard with a welcoming and friendly landlord, we stopped for the one to watch the afternoon football match, and ended up having three.🙂 Well worth seeking out an spending some time there. Ivybridge is very fortunate to have such good pubs as this to visit.

Went here last year and was the best pub in Ivybridge but don't know if changed hands but what a difference, people shouting and swearing, people bringing there drinks in from another pub, man behind bar looking scruffy as hell and knocking back shots of spirits, took ages to get served even though he saw us standing there, really rough place to go

Very welcoming and friendly service

Good local pub with lots going on, huge seating area and sports. Probably the biggest pub in Ivybridge. Dart boards looking tired, and the toilets also.

Only Doombar as a real ale option, so opted for Guinness. Friendly, quick service. Live football showing, pool available to play, unable to comment on food. Reasonably busy.

Poor choice of ales. Is run down but there is a new landlord so maybe it'll take a turn for the better.

Updated Summer 2022. Improved with management but seems to have a bit of a drug problem. Sports on the screens which is nice! The toilets and furniture could do with an update.

First visit today - slighty apprehensive as had the reputation as being a kiddy pub a few years back. Pleasantly surprised and will certainly visit again. This is a great local pub with a good choice of beers (the lager was served perfectly with a nice foam head unlike some pubs that serve lager as flat as a pancake) and food all at affordable prices that won't break the bank. Looking forward to next visit.

We had the misfortune of walking into the pub on the evening of 2nd August 2022. When we entered, nearly everyone who was there turned around & stared. We went to a table in the back area sitting down for something to have for dinner. The table was sticky & obviously had not been wiped down, no excuse really as it was nearly empty. We looked at the menu & decided on what to have to drink & eat. I walked up to the bar (menu in hand) & spoke to a male member of staff, asking about food. He walked off without saying anything to me & then spoke to another member of staff (a blonde woman), who saw I was at the bar with the menu & totally blanked me, walking to the other end to speak to a friend. I asked again about food & the reply was "we are not serving food". Why have menus on the tables then? I said this loudly to my wife & I think the woman overheard as all of a sudden she started collecting them & then actually apologised that food was not being served.

Great atmosphere friendly staff excellent music live bands

Great local pub, saw Audius Maximus which was their first time there, hopefully not the last, great band to see if you are an old rocker.

Nice little pub. Always a good drink in here.

Great Guinness and martins is a gent.

I went to the Plymouth Folk club evening which is held on a Sunday night at The Exchange in Ivybridge. The club meets up on a Sunday night to listen to live folk music. Sean Lakeman and his lovely wife played when I went, a very talented duo... The layout of the events room was spacious and pleasant, with a tall ceiling... The also tall landlord was exceptionally friendly and welcoming and his staff are pleasant too... The bar has a nice atmosphere with good local ales.... I can highly recommend it.

friendly staff was nice to have a pool table also, great social space

A friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Very enjoyable

Nice pub, drinks are pretty cheap

Need to get your social distancing measures in place

Staff acted like it was a chore to serve customers. Apart from telling people to wear masks there was no social distancing in place, customers walking between tables to interact with other people etc. Table service with one member of staff for about 30 tables results in VERY slow service and seems no order to what tables are served when. This meant that our table of 4 'missed out' (the staff members words) and had to wait for a further 20 minutes before being able to order! You would think that with the new limitations, pubs and restaurants would be doing everything they can to get sales and customers spending... Certainly not the case here!

Good friendly service overall exellent

GOOD social spacing, attention to table cleaning good, but only 3 stars. because I don't like smoking, even E cigarettes, and that was happening. in the pub ... good bar staff, clean toilets., good signage,

Great selection of beers, friendly staff and dogs are welcome. Was my local for almost a year, shame I had to move!

It's NOT a pub. It's a shop with various goods

Be a long time before i go in there again. Had to wait agaes for my drink.

Although the price has gone up by 10p at £2.80 it's still great value. Very pleasant staff and a nice old fashioned atmosphere

Lovely staff nice and friendly

Good pub with a great atmosphere, would be a good pub to go to to watch the rugby, or the football.

Lovely pub, spacious, pool table, sports TV

Lovely pub, awesome food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend

Brilliant fun local pub, always a fab atmosphere

Never eaten here but they do a good selection of beers and the staff are very friendly, pool table needs a little tlc for it slops at the pockets so you can trickle one in but have to hit it harder than normal...

Good basic down to earth pub. Reasonable selection of ales on rotation.

Good ales. No outside space as such. Think it might be the fire exit terrace, but if you can sit at the only table out there the setting is lovely, overlooking the river

We enjoyed our drinks,and the staff were friendly and it is close to all the shops and bus route. I don't quite know why we weren't more impressed.

Nice pub but their beer tastes like soap! Had to go down the road for a decent beer! Sorry.

Good service but don't go if you don't like sport!

Amazing pub lovely friendly atmosphere with good prices and perfect for a drink with friends and family

A good sports bar, beer not to bad & just had a much needed refurb. Don’t visit very often as there are a lot of younger drinkers who are very likely to be under age drinkers.

My old work place for 3 years. Used to be the best pub in Ivybridge when Bridy & Alan ran it. Now it is just an average pub that's overpriced. Things need to change to give this place its spark back. On the plus side there is always sport on the tv

Has it’s off days, but is generally a good pub.

Cosy pub with a good size function area with seats etc. Nice outdoor balcony area overlooking the river below. Serves regular lager and local real ales plus good selection of cider and bottles of various. Staff very friendly

Wonderful polite staff and great burgers!!

Great local with friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Nice pub a bit pricey but has a pool table and real ales lovely.

Great atmosphere and low prices.

Probably the best live sports venue in Ivybridge

This place used to be good but now a bit of a drab experience. Smokers at the back can be seen urinating into the river. Very laddish.
