The Cocktail Club - Cocktail Bar in Exeter

You're walking down Gandy Street towards the Cathedral Quarter and spot The Cocktail Club's understated entrance — this is where things get properly serious. Inside, there's proper cocktail craft happening: bartenders who actually know their trade, not just pouring and smiling. The classics are done well (Negroni, Old Fashioned, Daiquiri), and they're not above experimenting either. It's got that sweet spot between polished and unpretentious — you can roll in casual on a Friday night or dress it up for something more special. The crowd's mixed: workers from the offices around here, couples, groups of mates. Nothing flashy about it, just competent, confident bartending.
