  “This was a relaxed spot to meet friends for drinks, where the main section has large windows all across letting in the light from outside! Counter is presented smoothly and a graphic depicting the outside of the pub's building is creative, seating is comfortable too. Flowers drew on the windows are sweet and please that Cornish Orchard's Cider is served on tap up here in Leicester, had a bottle of Corona Extra too!”

  “Beware when booking a private event. I was told in November that my booking for March was in the diary, and I would need to pay the deposit in the new year. After hearing nothing (despite being told I would be contacted), I chased it up myself—only to be told the date had been double-booked and was no longer available. Invites already sent, accommodation booked by guests and very limited options for another venue. Asked to be contacted by the manager and have left voicemails, but have heard nothing. Extremely poor communication and very disappointing handling of a private event booking.”

  “A really cool place for an evening drink, with a lively atmosphere and friendly staff. Also it serves as a coffee shop during the day, so also a great place to come then.”

  “A great place to relax and have something to drink as well as get some very nice Food!! There are some very comfortable Chairs which includes Retro Furniture, it's also a Great Place to destress after Work and also a Great Place to get Food and a Drink before Visiting the Curve Theatre as it's literally a few meters away from the Doors of the Curve Theatre, and The Exchange sits directly in the Center of Leicesters Newly Created Qualtural Quarter, which is an absolutely Amazing place to Visit and another Great Tourist Attraction for anyone wanting to visit Leicester!!”

  “I don't really go out in Leicester and I am glad that I let myself be talked into it. It was not all nighter or a big drinking session, just a couple of glasses of wine and let's reminisce and change the world type of conversation. And the Exchange perfectly suited this as a venue. Being next to the Curve and near some pedestrianised area it is rather quiet - or was on the Thursday evening when we were there. There is a decent selection of wines, beers and spirits. And not necessarily too expensive either. The street level seating is great, you can see through the windows onto both sides of the building but there is also a huge (well it was a bit dark and hard to see) basement seating area as well.”

  “Stopped here for a glass of wine on New Year's Eve - wonderful bar and deceptively larger than it looks from out side. Lots of tourist awards on display. Great use of old knitting patterns in the ladies toilets! Quirky and comfortable, good mix of people frequenting The Exchange.”
