December 14, 2018 at 6:26 pmA 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!!

June 14, 2019 at 12:47 pmI 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.
