The new bar that has replaced Exeter's Walkabout has finally opened and it's even offering a Man vs Food chicken wing challenge.

The bar which opened on Friday has been named the Exonian and has had a £400,000 refurbishment.

The Exonian will bring live music, craft beer, gin sensations and tin can cocktails to Exeter. As well as 11 types of burgers, nachos, rigs and chicken wings to feast on.

“Everyone will know they’ve had a great experience,” said manager Esther Hollick.

“You can work here, play here, and be alone or party. Bingo, smartphone speed quiz, clash of the bands, man vs food challenges, we’ve got it all - even our ‘ draught a craft laugh’ creates fun on social media with a craft beer prize.”

What is the 25p chicken wing challenge?

Esther added: "The 25p Chicken Wing Challenge is where you get 20 chicken wings which are covered in the hottest sauce and you have to eat them in 10 minutes.

"If you manage to complete it you get a promotional t-shirt and your name will go on the Wall of Fame.

"For those that have a sweeter tooth we also have the 25p churro challenge Tuesday. Which is where you have to eat 20 churros filled with salted caramel."

There will also be free wifi, printing facilities and bosses say they will be 'more places to recharge electronics than the average workplace. As well as live sport, a customer loyalty scheme, a library of board games and a calendar of live entertainment.

The pub is 'all about fun' and they say 'Don't be surprised by the indoor Garden Zone with artificial grass, stripey deckchairs, and probably hot Instagram images'.

They will also have an abstract mural of Exeter and quotes about 'Yellow', a reference to Exeter-born star Chris Martin.

The bar will be open from 9am and they say 'there's more than hot breakfast and grab 'n' go pastries and coffee'.

You’re even rewarded for loyal custom, here are the deals customers can take advantage of during the week:
