Spectre Cheltenham in Cheltenham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We just stopped in for a couple of drinks before dinner. Friendly new bartender and a clean, spacious bar!

Great pub friendly staff good lagers and ales and ciders and a good pub for sports

Walked past many times, but thought I'd give it a try. First impression was of people at a table vaping. (Is that legal?). Stood at the bar with several other people waiting to order a drink, but no one ever appeared, so we left. Oh and they no longer do food, as others have said and their website shows drinks only. I can't see it staying open for much longer.

What an absolutely brilliant place. The new managers are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is to.much trouble. The whole place is really clean too

Nice quiet place to sit and relax.

Very accommodating to my friend, her dog, and I. Highly recommend here for chilling in an afternoon.

Had a great time here with my pup. Yasmin and the owner were so welcoming and friendly.

Been here three times in the past 18 months. Great for sports, late night dancing, drinks deals and nice food

Yummy cocktails, great service, fun staff. Good sports bar, with many screens and pool table.

Absolutely brilliant, both staff treated us like royalty 👏 had great time in there 👍

Not as busy or as good since it changed hands. Shame there is no longer food.

Great friendly pub great place to watch sports 👍 👌 definitely be back

Could you please confirm the phone number to allow me to contact the pub directly…thanks in advance

Outstanding service at the pub, with a shout-out to Rahal and Chef Charlie for great service and food.

It was a really good place to chill and have a beer with a friend. Loved the atmosphere. Staff had been really warm and helpful. Rahal ensured we got our drinks on time and made sure we were having a good time. Cheers

Lovely pub with good food and cocktails in Cheltenham. Served by Rahal who makes some great cocktails.

Loud not in a fun way staff unhappy not fun

A lunchtime visit on a Friday. Sparsely populated. Lots of sport on the big screens. Staff attentive.

Amazing service from Sam and staff, good food and atmosphere will definitely come again:)

Last Saturday night at 9pm, and it was empty!!!!!!!

Great food and drink over Cheltenham week!

Went for lunch with party of 6. Food was dry, and sickening. I was sick not long after leaving. Service felt cold and unwelcoming

Good town centre pub. Clean and organised

Expensive beers...Absolutely horrendous frozen chicken , frozen chips and frozen peas for the pleasure of @£15... So bad.. avoid

The steak was rubbery and tasteless..never eating there again

Friendly place with good ambient atmosphere.

Good ambience; respite for walking along the mall.

Food was good staff was very helpful, thanks Rahal and Jason

Helpful very happy service from Rahal, food by Jason . Definitely hit the spot good size portion, very tasty and good value. Will be back again Thank you Rahal

Had such a great experience at The spectre Cheltenham last Friday .Great food and very friendly and helpful service from Brandon behind the bar .

Good place for quiet beer, Rahal & Sam were very nice and attentive.

Enjoyed the spectre very much, came in for a couple lunch time beers and had excellent service from James behind the bar!

Loved the Fish n Chips !!! Highly recommended !! Rahal provided a great service and the delicious food was cooked by Ben. I will definitely come back.

This is without doubt my fav sports bar. Came to Rahal Man and felt so connected with his vibes. Will gladly return more often!

yummy food, good price and friendly staff!! would recommend if you want to watch sports!

Popped in for lunch for the first time today. Definitely worth doing. A big menu to choose from. Had a lasagne, great value for money served hot and tasted great. Have found my new spot to eat when in town!

Great for watching cricket and breakfast. Rough!

I want to give spectre 5 stars but can't because last time me and friends were there, there were rough people outside scrounging stuff like cigarettes from friends of mine, then later on in the evening those scroungers ended up turning on us and were trying to cause a fight. And the staff clearly knew what was going on, and they seemed to let it just carry on 😕

Great food, amazing service and fabulous atmosphere

Fantastic service from Sam! Great atmosphere and drinks were top notch!

Cosy atmosphere, delicious food. Perfect to watch sports

Very poor staff and manager very rude and discriminatory

Fantastic food cooked by Jason and Fantastic service by Sam loved my mac and cheese with garlic bread

Visited Friday night for a few drinky-poos, loved the atmosphere and DJ, had some stunning cocktails from the ever attentive James who gave 5 star service all night! Loved it would come again.

This was my first time in The Spectre but my friend has been in many times before. We went there for lunch and the bar staff were very friendly. The food we ordered arrived at our table a short time after ordering and both our meals arrived nice and hot. We both ordered puddings with our main meals and there was just the right amount of time between our main meals and puddings being brought to us. The toilets were nice and clean as was the main bar and seating area and we will definitely be going back again.

Came in tonight to watch the Chelsea game (shocking result #lampardout) Had a great time and was served by a lovely young man named James, excellent service from him in particular and made my first visit a good one, much appreciated young man.

Had a great time with delicious food and beer..specially the coated wings. Thanks

Great food on a bank holiday evening and great customer service

Lovely food and drinks, lovely and friendly staff.

Great atmosphere! For the races.

Came in for lunch, service was absolutely brilliant the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Food was hot and cooked perfectly! Will definitely be returning

Great venue, really stepped up in the last seven months. Sam and Amy are great always chatty and friendly when i'm propping up the bar!

Warm welcoming staff, food was great and the sport is outstanding!!

Best place to be to watch the races great staff good beer and good food

Incredible pub to watch the races

Fantastic sports bar. Tasty, good priced full English breakfast served by Amy. Grrrrrrreat choice of drinks. Great atmosphere.

The food here was really tasty, we were served by James, who was friendly and helpful throughout our time here :) Thank you James!

I came in a few weeks ago for a few drinks and some food, I was served by the very helpful James, and our delicious pub grub was cooked by Rahal. I had a great time playing pool as well! Would recommend

James was very friendly behind the bar and the food served by Rachael was lovely

Brilliant service lovely staff Amy and Nicola were amazing

Came in last night to watch the football, even though it was really busy the bar staff were really attentive, especially James who was really friendly and helpful! Would come again!

Came in Tuesday night for a few drinks, and was served by James behind the bar, he was very welcoming and attentive! Had a great time!

Great sports bar, with good beer and food. Bar staff are very friendly. Children welcome too. And in todays economical climate, the bonus is the prices are great too. We popped in with our grandchildren for some food, before a show at the theatre.

Can usually get a seat next to a TV screen.

Came in for a drink with some friends got served by Nicky,Tom and Sam such lovely welcoming people will definitely be returning.

We’ve been going to the Spectre for a few years now. The new menu is so much better than in the past Cannot fault the service although I would like to see the staff more professionally dressed ( eg wearing an attractive uniform) Prices reasonable

Affordable food and drinks with multiple TVs around to watch the sport you love. Friendly staff and welcoming

Went for some food here today ... Waited 1hr 10min for 5 small plates. At no point we're we advised there would be a wait. At 50min I asked how long. Be 5-10min I was told but no apology. If they had said initially we would not have placed an order. We went because we had a good experience on our last Cheltenham visit but never again. Staff really didn't seem interested. Even as pouring drinks they we leaning on bar. All in all a 1hr 10 for food is a poor show.

James behind the bar gave great service whilst me and my mates watched the Liverpool game!

Lovely staff with great customer service, great food and drinks, will be coming back! :)

Food & beer still good & reasonable prices.its been the same 4 last 7 yrs.

Had a work Xmas party here, wrll organised, great food and atmosphere. Can't fault the place.

Polite and helpful, and good ales.

Similar to Wetherspoons in food choice and price. It’s the first time I’ve been to Spectre and was pleasantly surprised. The food was well cooked,fresh and arrived quickly.

Decent prices and choice. Pool table is definitely a bonus. Staff was polite Nd professional.

Absolutely disgraceful.been drinking in spectre for ten years as a regular.when it's been dead I always was in there keeping them going 12 months year after year.soon as racing starts you charge us the same as outsiders.£405 for a bog standard lager on sunday.i will not b going to the spectre ever again..

They shouldn't put there prices up on race days. Should think of there locals.

Really friendly staff, had a good laugh with them, not the cheapest boozer in Cheltenham but get what you pay for. Loads of different sports on when visited Saturday afternoon, really good atmosphere, no complaints from me .

Bit basic menu. Service was slow considering there was only about 10 people in there when we arrived. Really more of a sports bar than a place to dine.

Great place only had drinks but it busy and great atmosphere

Friendly and helpful staff. We ordered from the small plates menu and were quite pleased. The chicken was lovely and moist, the onion rings, chips and bhajis' were also really nicely cooked. We will return very soon.

I dont usually come in here but by chance I noticed it was the same menu as another pub i had visited recently which had amazing chicken wings on offer. I am fussy about wings and these guys cook them exactly how I like them. Loads of drink on offer and plenty of screens for the football bar staff seemed friendly and the service was nice and quick. Will definitely be back for more wings! Came back for more wings and just as good! 12/10/22
