Used to drink in here with my mates before heading off to the infamous club roccoco. A lively place set out over different level always liked it in here.

Monday & Tuesday student nights cracking. Cheap lash, �6 jugs of snakebite and good music.
During the day, boring bar with no ales and poor food

Butlers is now called 'Mosaic'. According to a front page article in the local paper (The Express & Echo, Feb 4th 2008) the management have barred a regular for no other reason than the fact that he wasn't posh enough (he has a shaven head and tattoos on his neck). Apparently "It's now a high-class wine bar-cum-restaurant and it's expecting people to fit into that." Chris Davis, a spokesman for the pub's owners TCG, said "You can exclude anybody from a licenced premises and don't have to say why."
It's not the sort of pub I'd bother to frequent anyway, but I thought I'd warn people that if you've got a shaven head or tattoos, you probably won't be allowed in.

I am led to believe the landlord leaves soon. If he does and doen't go to another pub at some stage in the future, this will not only be a sad loss to Butlers and Exeter, but to the trade as a whole.
This place probably still needs some TLC but, in the end, a landlord's enthusiasm will always be restricted or overcome accountants running the industry.

The landlord seems keen but the "brewery" has very limited ideas. Good food, pleasant staff, shame about the lack of company committment.
|
Boring beer on offer. Needs to be done out. Bit rough and that was on a saturday afternoon. Food quite pleasant though.
|
Full of local charvers....avoid at all costs...
|

|

Lively bar in evenings and weekends, open till 1am thurs-sunday, friendly staff and great food during the day!
|
Okay during the day, but expensive, and you'll take your life in your hands in here, or anywhere else in Exeter City Centre if you venture out after dark.
