Cafe Rene, Gloucester

Awful.Depressing, dull, dingy, and it smelt bad.Staff seemed almost to a man to be self-regarding, passive-aggressive poseurs, under the impression they were 'characters'.The front benches seemed permanently populated by disturbed and bored gloucester locals.The lager was watery.There was a general atmosphere of barely hidden aggression, presided over by a tall man i presumed to be the manager, who for some reason was behaving like a priest.
The place gave me a headache, but throwing up outside, while very appropriate, would have prolonged our stay in this desperate hole. Managed to dodge a man who apparently was the owner on the way out, who was paraletic and screaming.
