I love this bar! The staff is super friendly and really knowledgeable. They will recommend drinks based on your preferences and so far they’ve always been bang on. I always have a superb time there! Even the bouncer is just a gem! 100% recommend. I‘d recommend always booking a table in advance.

Absolutely love Crockets. The 3 friends I was with had never been before and they will definitely come again. The staff are brilliant, a lovely welcome on the door and then super helpful friendly staff, cannot rate it higher. We went to Lloyd's lounge after eating but I wish we had booked to come back in with you guys, world's apart!!

Hi, Food needs to be taken off this survey as there is no food served. The deposit to reserve a table makes sense but should not be taken off the table bill because groups likely need to pay separately. This should be amended- deposits should be put down and then restored to the card. Then tables are free to pay for their drinks accordingly.

Great staff - enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was slightly cold, not sure if that was just me though! I really enjoyed trying different guns and taking advantage of the staffs expertise and I’ve even gone out and bought a bottle of the gin I enjoyed the best! I will be back! Thank you.

A great place to go for Gin lovers on special occasions. There is no Gin menu so no way of telling the price of drinks. With a double gin and tonic costing around £10, it is not cheap by any means. However, they have some very unique gins and the service was absolutely excellent.

From arrival to having drinks at our table 30 mins - not too bad. But not great. We’re sat next to a hen party - so ambience was screechy. Looking forward to visiting again. Great to have a place that can actually make cocktails in Exeter!

Waited a long time to get menus (ended up getting them ourselves from the bar). Then waited a while to be served. Cocktails came quite quickly and were generally good. It will still early so there wasn’t much of an atmosphere. It felt short staffed - there needed to be a greeter, and menus on the tables.
