Bucking Fastard left this review about The Prospect

Large building on the Quay with lots of tourist activity,the interior has the feel of a gastro pub but hasn't completely lost a boozer vibe.The decoration is chintzy,the furniture traditional with a raised section to the left for dining,a raised long banquette above the serving bar and a further seating to the right.It's smart and the welcome was very friendly.
Ale options on my trip were Otter Ale,Dartmoor Legend,Exeter 'fraid Not and Fall's Over (NBSS 3.5).It's worth including on a crawl list.

A well positioned pub along the quayside facing west, so can be a prominent spot for alfresco drinking out front in the patio area. The interior was a good size with terracotta painted walls and ceilings apart from a white painted panelled section near the entrance and raised area on the left of the bar. The bar area was finished in a dark mahogany which was shaped like the hull of a boat. The staff were all smartly dressed and very welcoming. Plus the beer quality across their four pumps was excellent. I went for the Hanlon's Yellow Hammer, the 3 other beers were Dartmoor Legend, Otter Ale and Exeter Fraid Not. This pub also serves food and can get very busy at lunch times.

Despite being in the middle of the quayside tourist hotspot, this is quite a nice pub. An old building over several levels with a smart interior, perhaps a bit heavy on the arty touches but pleasant enough. There are of course tables outside also. A bank of 4 handpumps had Hanlons Yellow Hammer, Exeter Avocet, Dartmoor Legends and Otter in fair condition.
