Double Locks
A bit of a local legend, this atmospheric former lockhouse sits 2 miles south of the quay beside the Exeter Ship Canal. Scarred floorboards, creaking chairs, excellent ale and battered board games lend it a chilled vibe - helped by the real fires, waterside terrace and better than average bar food (available lunch and dinner).

On the Waterfront
In 1835 this was a warehouse; now its red-brick, barrel ceilings stretch back from a minimalist bar. There's typical pub-grub on offer for lunch and dinner and its tables stretch along the quayside - perfect for a riverside pint or a pizza.

Ship Inn
Wood coats the ceiling, floors and even the walls at this city-centre, heavily beamed boozer. It claims to have been Sir Francis Drake's favourite pub - bet he wouldn't have recognised the tunes pulsing from the jukebox.

Kino
Full of movie-star glamour, Kino's centrepiece is a stunning 1930s-style bar. Original film posters line the walls and it's an irresistible place to sit, sip the seriously good cocktails and ponder your profile. It's open for members and guests only after 22:00.
