| Courtyard setting off a shopping street in the city centre. Has a Grade 2 listing which states: "Recorded as a hostelry in the Abbey Rental of 1455 and converted as a coffee house and tavern in 1672, the probable date of the rebuilding of the main block. Traditionally, the inn is associated with a visit to Gloucester by King William III. To show his contempt for a Jacobite club which met in the upper room of the south range, the king is reputed to have ridden his horse up the stair leading to the room from the courtyard". Handpulls on Saturday were Dartmoor Jail Ale, Stroud's Tom Long, Wye Valley HPA, St Austell Tribute (which was good), Butcombe Rare Breed, Hogs Back TEA and TT Golden Best. Sandwiches were massive and great value. paul_d102 - 25 Jun 2024 09:42 |
| This pub is literally a hidden gem, situated down a short and narrow lane off one of the city centres main streets(but clearly signposted). It is a fine historic building, lovely inside and out and nicely kept and presented. A very wide range of real ales on tap. tarkatherotter - 11 Sep 2018 19:41 |
| The Fountain, like a number of other local pub is situated in a courtyard off a main street in the centre of the city. It had a surprisingly decent range of real ales - Wickwar Bob, Butcombe Bitter, Bristol Beer Factory Independence, St Austell Tribute, Dartmoor Jail Ale, Hillside Legless Cow & Timothy Taylor Landlord. Unfortunately there were no dark ales and no real cider either. Despite this, it I definitely one of the better pubs in the city. blue_scrumpy - 21 Feb 2017 20:36 |
| Gorgeous old coaching inn on the main drag in Gloucester. It is a nice environment but crucially the owners haven't used its prime location and history to excuse themselves of putting in any effort and instead you have welcoming and efficient staff, good food, a wide (and from the pump labels on display on one of the walls) constantly changing range of real ales supplemented by a choice of lagers and bottled beers. The prices were on a par for the area and the quality of the pints was very high. If pushed I'd say that The Pelican is the only pub I visited in the area which beats it for beer quality, but that overall this was my favourite pub I drank in when I was in town. I would say that both this place an The Pelican qualify as "must-sees" if you are in Gloucester and enjoy a pint in a high quality pub. Mr.Monkfish - 9 Aug 2015 16:56 |
| Historic coaching inn with adult and calm punters the evening I visited. Friendly staff. Decent cask ales on. Did not eat. A "must" pub to visit when in Gloucester. Sigmund - 14 Jun 2015 18:39 |
