Castle Street

You'll find Castle Street tucked away on Little Castle Street, just off the main drag near Exeter's city centre—the kind of place that feels like it's been there forever, quietly getting on with things. It's where you pop in for a pint after work, not somewhere you need to book or dress up for. The crowd's mixed and genuinely friendly, the sort of bar where regulars know the staff and everyone else feels welcome anyway. It's got that lived-in comfort that comes from being a proper local's pub rather than a tourist trap.
