The cellar bar is atmospheric and offers something a bit different to most city centre bars. There are regularly changing ales on offer and the staff are quite knowledgeable about those too. They often have live music too - and it is great to have such an intimate venue to watch live bands. Don't try and communicate with them via e-mail though, they never reply. IF you want to book a table/function, then give them a call instead.

As with any bar/pub or indeed any restaurant it does get loud when it's busy but it depends entirely on the time of day you go. Weekdays can be fairly quiet. Popular times of course not so much.

This is a very cosy pub, but another tiny car park - you might have difficulty parking, especially towards Christmas where lots of Christmas parties will be happening. The food is fantastic value for money and the staff are polite and efficient. The staff are keen to please you - whether there are 2 or 22 of you. It's a really nice atmosphere. Although the bar is tiny - it always looks immaculate. They also pay attention to detail too - if you happen to mention that you're booking for a birthday/anniversary/retirementthey seem to remember and all of the staff know what you're celebrating - it's lovely to have the personal touch.

Shame that the car park is so tiny, but the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The pub has a decent sized function room too - if you're having a party - consider this place. They also have a pool table!! yey! It's a very welcoming place - with lots of little cubby holes for intimate drinks or larger tables for group lunches.

Lots of snooks - some with armchairs, all with open fires make this a great place for chilling out with friends, or someone special. The whole building is made of solid wood - it really gives the idea of a quality place. The staff are pretty friendly and welcoming, and tables are cleared quickly. The garden is MASSIVE! and again, all solid wood furniture and decking - it really looks like a quality place. There are no heaters in the garden, but in the summer, it will be a complete sun trap and I think it will be busy! The toilets are up two flights of stairs, so don't leave it until you're desperate!!! This is a Samuel Smiths pub, and as such, don't expect to get anything that is branded in this pub - but actually, it's nice to have a change and Samuel Smiths' cider is lovely..!! I'm going back soon for food, so I'll report back again after that!!

It's not a pub that I would go drinking in - but the restaurant part of it is well worth a visit. The pub is frequented by students during the day and locals in the evening - and it's not particularly welcoming to strangers - so if you're a bit timid, or easily scared in strange environments, then I definitely wouldn't go here. You can park in the Docks though - and if you visit in the evening, you can park for free.

Don't try and get a seat on a rugby day though - you just won't! If you can get near the bar, you'll be doing well! Plenty of space here though - it is like a tardis - on the outside it looks small, but there is loads of room inside. For the size of the venue, the toilet provision is a bit low though - so if it's busy, prepare to queue!! They also have a skittle alley which doubles as a function room, which is quite big. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and generally one or two rugby players too!

Staff did nothing to help. Not an isolated incident either; family members all report thuggish behavior including things like tables being turned over unprovoked.

In good nick it's very lively and busy pub especially on the weekend, but then it is on the main pub crawl road in Gloucester. Bar staff are quick and polite and do keep tables clear. Apparently it has a dance floor and bar upstairs, but I never managed to venture that far as I was quite happy enough downstairs. Prices are not bad and they do have offers on so you can have a good night out at a good price. It is really a night time venue so no parking on site, but the taxi rank is about a 5/10 walk away.

Good all round!read more
