About The Hour Glass Inn

The Hour Glass Inn is a traditional Exeter pub dating back to 1848 that’s close to the Quay and just five minutes from the city centre. It was rescued from closure by Exeter Brewery and a sympathetic refurb has retained its real character with original features including a wood-panelled dining room and an open fire. The menu is built around local, seasonal produce with Devon suppliers namechecked on the website. And complementing the accomplished cooking there’s an interesting selection of wines as well as the well-kept beers you would expect and a great range of whiskies. The Hour Glass Inn also runs a Quiz Night every Monday and a Vinyl Night once a month.

Quiz Night

Monday evenings at 7.30pm is quiz night.

It’s just £1 per person to enter with cash and other prizes up for grabs. Maximum 6 people per team.

A small selection of bar snacks is also available to help power those brain cells.

10/10 food drinks and service - high quality and very impressive food, not just ‘pub grub’. We had the sharer pie for two, it was huge you could probably share between three. The starters were amazing and the staff were lovely and really attentive. Definitely a great place to go with friends.

Lovely food - really super delicious! Service was a little slow and we were brought a dessert menu instead of the main menu when we arrive but it was a busy Sunday and we were not in a rush so did not mind.

We have eaten here 4 times in the last couple of weeks and each time the food and service has been excellent. Really good menu choices for both evening meals and Sunday lunch. The staff are always so welcoming and eager to assist. Fabulous selection of ales, lagers and also a brilliant wine list. It’s been really busy every time we’ve been with a great atmosphere in both the restaurant and bar. We would highly recommend it.

We had an excellent time at The Hour Glass. We were made to feel very welcome and were looked after so well. The food was fantastic and service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back again. Thank you to the team for a wonderful evening.
