Not been in since this place has changed hands. Has got to be better than it was when i visited as it was packed with pregnant fourteen year old swinging alcopops with crappy rave music on full blast
0/10 for back then

Popped into the Grapevine today and it's just what I was looking for in Exmouth. Proper food (an inspiring menu with great local ingredients), great ales & lagers , friendly staff and a nice 'feel'.
One of the bonuses for me was that they use local cola and lemonade rather than the corporate tasteless brands.
I'll be returning as soon as I can.

All change. Now called the Grapevine. Popped in with the Mrs for a pre meal drink. So impressed we stayed and ate here.
New owners have transformed the place. Now over 25's (?) with five, yes, five hand pumps. Landlord intends to rotate the beers perhaps keeping Whitbread IPA as standard. On the night we visited I tried the Stout from the Bath Ales range which was lovely. Also remember Butcombe on.
Smallish menu supplemented by a specials board. Shandychica had the Sea bass and I had the scallops. Both excellent. Will definatly visit again soon.

About to reopen as Barr 66.
Will a few cheap signs make any difference I wonder.

Closed?

Brilliant pub! Brilliant booze! Brilliant juke box! Brilliant drinkers with the exception of a few. But this has got to rate full marks. It's a great place to spend a few hours.

A new chef in the kitchen who has definately turned things around. Great food, excellent value for money.
