Real Ale Ray left this review about Little Drop of Poison

This was Mrs Ale's wildcard on Saturday night, along with the curry house next door. The interior of this pub was a good size with black painted ceilings and walls, along with some fairy lights and a pool table. The clientele was a mixed bunch of students and middle aged. There was no cask ale on our visit and the barman said he won't be getting it back either.
However they did have a decent range of craft, along with a couple of ciders. Mrs A went for a Pomona Island Sploice, an exotic fruit sour, which I thought was stunning so ordered another. I tried a scrumpy cider which hit the spot, plus a taster of the Vault city DDF Caterpillar Cake Imperial Stout at 14.5%. I would definitely return here again as the pub had a relaxed atmosphere and hence some interesting beers. Very good Indian restaurant called 'Ganges' a couple of doors up.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Little Drop of Poison

This bar was inexplicably closed on my Thursday evening visit. Opening times on the door suggested it should be open at 9:30pm on a Thursday evening, but it was in complete darkness. Social media suggests that it is still a going concern. Hopefully, I will have better luck next time I am back in Exeter.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Little Drop of Poison

Strange place, being a mix of old-school alehouse and a modern student-focused bar. Anyway, it was busy on a Friday evening, so good to see it working for whoever it sees as its market. The floorplan comprises two parts; a basic seating and pool table area as you enter through the corner door, and a larger in front of and alongside the counter. Disappointingly, just a pair of Bristol Beer Factory cask ales - an excellent Delray Beach (£4.80) and a Plum Porter - available from a bank of eight handpumps. However, there is also a good range of crafty keg beers on offer from the taps on the bar-back.
