The Exonian is a lively, quirky pub, popular with students and sports fans alike. With a plethora of different craft beers on offer, along with a variety of classic cocktails and ‘long drinks’ that include ‘Spicy Cubre Libre’ (a combination of Havana Club and Coca-Cola), The Exonian acts as a perfect example of a contemporary pub.
In terms of food, the Exonian offers all the trappings of a traditional pub with burgers and cooked breakfasts a plenty. Yet, The Exonian steps outside of the expected, providing a range of Mexican cuisine including quesadilla breakfasts and burrito bowls to share. The Exonian is not just interested in being the run of the mill pub but actively attempting to have a menu that incorporates more than the expected British cuisine.
This is shown further through its inclusion of special events throughout the week including a bottomless brunch that promises unlimited supply of branded beer (or craft for an additional price) along with a selection of it’s brunch menu including Buffalo pancakes, covered in a spicy cheese sauce. The Exonian also promotes a ‘wing Wednesdays’ where its chicken wings are dropped to ludiscously low prices. The Exonian’s myriad of events at the pub are designed to keep the atmosphere fresh and diners engaged, with the pub producing a relaxed yet lively atmosphere.
The Exonian also promises something for those with a sweet tooth, with a wide range of indulgent desserts, such as cookie dough and chocolate fudge cakes. However, a real emphasis is placed on doughnuts, where The Exonian creates doughnut stacks with a range of different toppings, these can be enjoyed at an even cheaper rate on the ‘treat yourself Tuesdays’ which place doughnut stacks at the heart of the menu.
The Exonian combines both the traditional expectations of a modern pub, with a menu and events that go beyond the conventional. With a range of activities that keep the pub lively, The Exonian is certainly a fixture for many in Exeter.
