Candlelit 3 storey pub & sunny courtyard, famous with locals, visitors and students for no nonsense homemade meals, late night pizzas local ciders & ales.

"Legendary spot in Exeter!! Honestly.. great, freshly baked and huge pizza. House wine for only 9.95 a bottle. There is live music on the ground floor most Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and university musicians playing live Sunday evening during term time. You can sit outside or inside on three floors. Long tables, very rustic, candlelit and therefore a great atmosphere!!! A good place to hang out, talk, meet people... LOVE IT!" Ultrahanni on Qype.

Widely acknowledged to be one of Exeter’s best ale and cider pubs, The Old Firehouse is very popular with students and locals alike and offers a buzzy atmosphere along with a great range of food and drink.
