A lot of the City Centre pubs have/are closing to be replaced by bleddy student accommodation, but you could try this :-

1. The Angel Bar across the road from Central Station in Queen St.
2 Farmers Union, further along Queen St by the Clock Tower,
3. The Fire House, New North Road.
4. The Black Horse, Longbrook St.
5. The Well Tavern, Well Street.
6. Pre match, The FECRACE at the SJP. (Half time too if you are sitting in the "Flybe"
Then retrace your steps (or staggering) on the return trip.
...however you'll be waiting a long time outside The Wells tavern as it's had two landlords since it was called that, and is currently closed. You also missed out the Locomotive which is a matchday experience on its own.

Ahhhhh the Loco probably the only pub in Exeter that still has the same light bulbs since 1977 , does have a good jukebox though.

There's a nice micro pub on Longbrook Street. Can't remember it's name though.

Not allowed in the Fire House in colours.

The pursuit of hoppiness. Looks like someone's front room.

Bowling green is a decent pub.

One of the best pubs in Exeter though. Shame about the Billy or that would be a must stop.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the York?
