Gordon Bennetts Bar in Herefordshire, County of

Very busy place to go queue to get in, when its late it's one out one in, the live bands are really reallly so we'll worth a visit and it's free to enter

Lovely wye valley beers good service very busy when live bands playing on Saturday night

Good night for live bands an music till 2 am good for meeting up with friends

Friendly welcome and well kept beers

I review Gordon Bennetts as not just a punter but as a musician who regularly entertains the punters there. I cannot fault this place. Staff, brilliant and the atmosphere, electric. Drinks are always high quality and I've never had a bad pint. I can't speak for their food, nor do I even know if they serve food, but if they do, and if it's anything like the service and beverage range and quality, it would likely be high quality. As a musician, it's one hell of a music venue. Packed, lively, sweaty and loud. A gloriously atmospheric explosion of energy, joy, appreciation and that very rarest of things, a unified love of live music. Everyone in there on a Friday, Saturday and some Sundays, they're there for 3 things. Drink Dance Fun. Drink can sometimes cause trouble. On the very rare occasion I've seen trouble, security instantly diffuses the situation. They're not heavy handed either. Professional and measured. Music is varied too with various artists and bands bringing multiple genres to GB's. If you haven't experienced a Saturday at GB's, you're missing out.

This bar always has a band of quality thus has a quality clientele hence a good night to be had by all..

Awesome pub.. little bit to much fun

Nice place for some drinks any time of the week.

Great atmosphere very good beer 🍺 👌

Great live music and beer at the right price. A special, happy, friendly, atmosphere. Service is quick from friendly staff.

Been coming here on and off for about 4 years. The interior is really nice and has a homely feel to it with an outside back area for smoking which is roofed mostly to stop rain. If you're after a quiet pint, id advise going at the start of the week. However if you like the busier times, weekends are always fun and always good for a laugh and hanging out with new people. The staff are wonderful and are very welcoming. I had isla serve me today and greeted me with a warm and bright smile and with exceptional service. Will continue coming here and would advise others to do the same!

Ilsa in the upstairs bar us the best bartender you have in the venue Gareth

Gordon Bennets is a great place to have a quiet catch-up with a friend on a week night after most of the other pubs have closed, and it's a pumping hangout on the weekend. The service is fantastic and speedy. They have a wheelchair accessible bathroom downstairs and more bathrooms upstairs. Prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is great.

Security Exquisite. Clientele Smart, Relaxed and Confident VIBE:- Is cool, confident with an ageless ambience. Please come again to live music amongst Sisters and Brothers. Ladies first, Gentleman.. Come as you are... Nirvana....

Jake our morgs always makes the night and makes everyone feel welcome. Always the same on christmas day. Above and beyond.

Good bar in Hereford city centre serving Wye Valley Brewery ales. Modern twist on a traditional pub with live music at weekends.

Very busy on a Saturday night. Live bands which is good to see in Hereford. Bar area is very busy but bar staff seem quick to serve you.

Good night out. Lots of seated areas. Band was good. But very loud upstairs. Not a place for a quiet catch up when the bands on.

Nice place to chill-out with friends

Ber and entertainment, probably the best pub for that in Hereford.

Buzzing great music from the band

Not a place for myself personally BUT it was clean and tidy, I have no faults

Good new years eve with a live band

Nice place, music was good, atmosphere also good. you wanna have a dance, then this is the place for you.

Great bar staff, excellent prices ..What's not to love 🤷🏼‍♀️

Bouncers are just spoiling for a fight and extremely aggressive. Some lad wasn’t actually doing anything and a bouncer chucked him on the floor, pinned him down before chucking him out the door and pinning him down AGAIN. They also came up behind a woman and forced her down into her seat. And just spoke aggressively to punters about the entire bar. A nice place, but won’t be returning for fear of being assaulted by the over zealous and aggressive bouncing staff

Emma is an absolute star, genuinely amazing service.

Great boozer with great beer, solid prices too.

Late night bar with a very welcoming smile

Great place with a very friendly atmosphere and good value drinks which makes a refreshing change

Popped in for 1 last drink before left. Lovy large place. Dog friendly. Choice of drinks great. Upstairs and outside area. Seats and sofas . Cosy place

Great venue friendly. Good atmosphere.

Out with a night with friends , tripped on dance floor and was marched out like a criminal by bouncers , I work in hospitality so I understand behaviours acceptable by customers , bouncers complete animals

Great live music and atmosphere

Good place to go after the pubs have closed 💪

Best live music venue in Hereford

Never been before but some of the family and friends I went with had, and have always raved about the place. They were not wrong, we had a great night, would love to go again.

Great live music nights and excellent service by friendly staff.

Staff are super welcoming, love coming here.

Needed patio gas urgently. They had it, paid in the shop and the chap had the bottle next to the car when I got out side. All very friendly.

Excellent beer choice and some brilliant live music

Brilliant music, good atmosphere very full

Good service and friendly customer's.

Love this place, great atmosphere and huge selection of drinks.

I mean wow, you don't find £3.20 a pint for decent beer in many places these days. Good music too!

Lovely friendly staff great place to watch live bands.

Good band, nice people, staff professional as usual.

Great day & night here watching the rugby

Always busy, Friday night bands so great live music. Plenty of staff so served quickly, felt safe as bouncers everywhere too. All ages not just aimed at teenagers.

Nice pint of Stowford Press, not expensive

Very friendly staff, more for the younger set.

Me and my wife were in Hereford for the night and went on a mini pub crawl just to check out Hereford a bit more. This place was easily our favourite. It was considerably cheaper than any of the others we went to. There was plenty of seating. It was nice and warm which was perfect given how cold it was outside. The staff were all really friendly and there was a wide selection of alcohol to choose from. The guinness was perfect too. What more could you want.

Just got the door and got not tonight meate from the bouncers. At 1:02 apparently they can sense how much I have had to drink an amazing fact hhaviing consumed only 3 pints however after standing outside the bouncer let their friends in. Pathetic. I have been in GB's severnightsansand had a a great night.

Best pub in hereford. Good range of drinks and bar snacks

Really liked this place. Atmosphere, drinks, service and the music was great 👍

hot and sweety wide range of ages

This is most of my friend's go-to pub, everyone local usually ends up here at some point of the night! Awesome staff and plenty of varied alcohol to choose from!! ~

Staff were so lovely and very accomidating. We had a big table late on a Saturday night. Cocktails were insane and the food was great! Reasonably priced too.

Cheap drinks, large space upstairs, bar staff were very helpful in taking large orders

Had a cover band on It was good fun.

Fantastic night out, great Friday music. And very reasonable cost for the rounds. Definitely will go again

Okay place on the weekend. Bands all seem to play the same gig every weekend. But again service is spotty. And always a wet bar. Apart from that a young crowd mixed with mature always pleasant there.

Karaoke night was fun. Met some cool people and had great drinks

What is this place ? It's lacking identity

Keep in mind....I visited on a quiet Monday night...so not sure how it compares to a heaving Friday or Saturday night. But my feedback is:- The venue is a very pleasant place to have a drink in. The Real Ale, (Butty Bach), was excellent...only £3.20 a pint. Was informed that a very experienced cellar man looks after the beer. The bar staff we met were friendly. So, all in all, cannot fault the place. Top marks!

One off the worst places I have been the door staff have no idea what they are doing, there was sick all over the toilet, Beer is overpriced for such a small place will definitely not be going back and will advise anyone who asks where is good to go for a drink in hereford that this place is not good at all.

Decent pub with very honest prices. Defo be going back again.

Great smoking area and good beer

First place we stopped for a pint on arriving in Hereford. Nice pint and live music at the weekend.

We popped in for a couple of drinks with friends to meet other friends. It's pleasant inside. Dogs are welcome which suited us. Our dog had a little play with another dog. Would go there again.

Good live music great selection of beers

Very quiet on a Monday night and no food. Beer was fine though.

Great night out, one of the places to go for a hassle free night out in Hereford.

Good atmosphere but just abit over crowded at times

Easily the best bar in Hereford, great bartenders and an inclusive environment with dope music taste

Great pub large choice of drinks, live musuc venue, went for the first time Saturday night. Friendly crowd and fantastic staff, a band called The Revival Band were playing really good sound. Will definitely go again.

When in on a Friend day night bar staff seemed cool and the live music was great.

Great pub, with great service and great music!

Great beer, great music, great atmosphere. The bar staff are awesome.

What should have been an amazing pub was spoilt by some lads who think it's okay to bully my friend for their appearance. The bar was great, but to our own fault we didn't didn't report our issues to the staff, we simply decided it was easier to leave, so I won't give lower than 3*. I will come back though, and hopefully have a better experience. I thought the ancient Craven A advertisement was a cool touch

Great place for live MUSIC with great Staff🍺🍺🥂🍺🍺

Went to Hereford travelling from South Wales for the night with the wife done research found this bar live music had a awesome night definitely going back loved it

Good Beer , good service , good price ...

I felt bad for not leaving the reason behind my review. Far too many people in a small place during the pandemic or even pre pandemic, good live band when I went though

Great find Good choice of drinks. Helpful staff, clean well layed out. Well worth a visit

Friendly staff and great beer at very good prices.

We Love playing at this place.. The Institutions Band

Fun night out! Great live music.... Fun atmosphere. Good amount of security so I felt safe and any drama was quickly sorted!

Best place in town with the Barrels

Packed over priced but good atmosphere here

Great friendly place to meet friends for a drink

Came in once again for drinks after work. As always, the service and the products are exceptional. Harry in particular looks after us, ensuring we are both thoroughly entertained and never thirsty. Another brilliant visit :)

Great pub with loads of real ale options and good live band venue

Okay, can be a bit crowded and sticky

Quick service, and live band, great atmosphere

always good beer and the band king mantis really hit it off

One of my favourites in Hereford 😊

Fandango great pint! Very friendly pub.

Lovely place relaxing atmosphere

I feel blessed to have Gordon Bennet's as my local. With live music on the weekends and laughs every day of the week, I know that Hereford is home. Harry, a hard worker who clearly loves his job, has made every effort to make me feel welcome and respected while being in the bar. I can only reccomend the experience of GB's to anyone visiting or residing in Hereford city.
