A few moons ago I was invited to the launch of Exeter’s newest hangout, South Street Standard. This is the younger sibling of Bristol’s Urban Standard & North Street Standard, and Cardiff’s Society Standard.
South Street Standard, with its clean, modern-industrial interior has a really cool vibe. Not too hipster and not at all stuffy, though a few well-teaselled beards, chunky knit jumpers and expertly quafered hair cuts will certainly find themselves happy – ale in hand, watching the world go by. Judging coffee choices and explaining why they’re ‘over’ Brewdog ever since they sold out.
This is a charming place to hangout with an inviting menu. It has the hallmarks of a regular haunt for those that give a damn about their food and drink.
Both of the existing ‘Standards’ seem to have their own identity, forged by their locations and micro-culture that inhabit them. So it will be great to see how this cool, not so little (set over three floors) business evolves over time.
Scroll down and check out a few snaps from the launch night. Then pop in and order a Double Standard, it’s ace.

Thanks Nat 😊
Definitely, let’s go eat something! Or come over and eat things 👍🏻
…and drink one or two robust beverages.
Sounds delightful!
