picture of Exmouth Arms Here's a pub that has completely failed to get with the program. There's nowhere to plug in your iPod for a start and you have to leave your skateboard outside. The people playing darts in the back appeared not to be doing so ironically. There was no absinthe behind the bar either. It's stubbornly persisting as a high street boozer. Disgraceful. And a blessed relief. It's not too busy, there are no frills and no gimmicks, except for very good ale (Harvey's Sussex), and the service is prompt and friendly. Most of the punters look like they've been there all day and don't see any compelling reason why they should go home either. For anyone else trying to avoid home it is good to know that the Exmouth stays opens until 1:30 am. A refuge for those who just can't keep up with modern life (which Damon Albarn always told us was rubbish anyway).
