Core Exeter

You'll find Core tucked away on Mary Arches, right in the thick of Exeter's night-time action. This is where you come when you want to actually dance—not stand around nursing an overpriced drink. The room's built for it, with a setup that takes its music seriously and a crowd that knows what they're after. Whether it's live DJs or a proper packed Saturday night, there's an energy here that justifies the 4.8 rating. It's the kind of place locals actually return to, which tells you something.
