Over the years Exmouth has lost a number of pubs through change of use or redevelopment. These include:
- Albion Inn – 38 Albion Street (closed around 2010, now flats).
- Anchor – Tower Street.
- Clarence Inn – 17 Meeting Street. Closed as a pub in 2000, now a private house.
- Cranford Hotel – Salterton Road. Demolished after a fire in 1992.
- Criterion Inn – Tower Street. Located on the opposite corner to the Saveur Restaurant.
- Foresters Arms – Chapel Street (Demolished to make way for the Magnolia Centre).
- London Hotel – Chapel Street (Demolished and rebuilt in 1964 for retail use).
- Volunteer – Chapel Street (Also demolished for the Magnolia Centre).
A number of Exmouth pubs have also changed their names over time. Some examples are:
- The Bath House used to be the Deer Leap.
- The Grapevine started out as the Queen’s Hotel and has also been known as Bar 66, Vipers, and Pitchers.
- The Heavitree, previously known as the Hook Line and Drinker, No 13, the Oddfellows, the Heavitree Arms, and prior to about 1890, the North Country Sailor.
- The Merchant was known as the Clipper (2004-15), Malloy’s (2000-04), and Lennard’s Bar (1955–99).
