Walking in, the cleanliness of this place immediately caught my attention, something that can be hard to find in venues like this. Staff seem to take pride in tidiness, which makes the experience a lot more pleasant and inviting than other spots I’ve been to.

Walking in, the warm ambiance really caught me off guard; it felt more welcoming than your typical night out. I expected a typical bar scene, but the laid-back vibe made it a good spot to unwind before hitting the books again.

This place somehow maintains its charm even after all the midweek visits.

Walking into Mill on the Exe, I was surprised by how spacious it felt, way more than I expected for a bar. It’s a relaxed place to hang out and get some work done.

Met some interesting folks here, all ages and backgrounds enjoying the scene. Conversations flowed easily over drinks, though the noise level did make it tough to catch everything.

Walking into the Mill on the Exe after a few years, it feels like a familiar friend that hasn't changed much. the atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff still seem genuinely invested in making sure everyone feels welcomed, even as the student crowd shifts. it's nice knowing a place can hold its charm and keep that sense of community alive .

Staff were nice enough, but honestly it felt a bit overpriced for what it is. the river view is lovely, though, so maybe worth it for that alone
