The Sword Inn Gloucester in Gloucester

The only pub in Gloucester that has life and atmosphere, what has happened to the city life on festive occasions.

Great pub friendly service only had a couple of drinks but will be back when next in Gloucester City

Great bar with great staff. Thanks for a great evening 😀

Never had food here .. it's cheap that's why we will pop in for a drink every now and again.

Great place for sports and fairly cheap beer. Friendly staff

Traditional pub in the centre of Gloucester. Not many like this anymore

One star on food because I didn't have any. Service was what I would expect one bar staff gave exceptional service. Atmosphere was lively but I definitely got the impression it had some idiots in the place that night. Definitely will be going back again

Cheap pint, great for watching sports, toilets could do with a refurb.

Post Glawster drinks. Everywhere else queued out the door. Very friendly here 👍

Great Pub in the centre of Glos ideal for All sports staff friendly highly recommend

What a great little find. In all the years I’ve lived in the county never even knew of this place. We stopped for a pint whilst waiting for a carol concert at the nearby stunning Gloucester Cathedral. We were served quickly and the beer was very tasty. This pub is a great reason for why people should start using pubs again like we used to. Buying alcohol from the supermarket isn’t really the same is it? Maybe pub chains need a bit of marketing to get out out again. Well done the Sword Inn, we shall definitely be back.

Friendly people and cheap drinks

Fantastic place foe a cheap beer, atmosphere dropped a bit when the DJ started randomly playing drum and bass but recovered quickly.a good pint at a reasonable price. So come have fun

Great pub with great atmosphere, staff very helpful and informative as specially Lora and Morgan.

Draft was not nice do not reccomend

Good honest pub lots of TVs for sport barman/landlord not sure very good.

Staff are brilliant polite and quickly. Drink prices are superb. Atmosphere is brilliant plenty of TV’s and sports showing a perfect traditional pub. Outside seating aswell

Very nice pub, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere x

Not a bad little pub. Nice atmosphere. Could do with a better selection. Music is too loud. Price was right, and that's what counts.

Absolutely awesome Ian and julie are amazing hosts. Very welcoming 💜✌☮

Had a fantastic time with family and friends great day and early evening reckomend

Just great. Great beer good atmosphere super cheap. 2.35 for a pint of cider. Not much more for lager.

Lovely atmosphere great place to visit

Great pub just how they used to be

Great new manager in there, trying his best to give tye customers what they want.

Got absolutely smashed at this pub best night in a long time, fair play to the bar man Tommy he put up with alot but still kept his sense of humour he was brilliant, definitely be back 😁

Screens good for sport go support your local and team and value for money A Westgate real pub Glawster

Nice ambience chilled out place. Great prices great Guinness. Staff good great atmosphere

Friendly local. Good selection of beers. A proper pub.

Great local place and visitors to Gloucester

Proper old school pub right at the heart ofvthe city...friendly crowd

Love this pub , I live in Cheltenham and come over to the sword , it’s a lovely atmosphere and friendly , i and my partner are Gay and it’s lovely to be able to come to a pub that feels to be LGBT friendly, certainly non judgemental to whoever you are. I’m spreading the word around to other gay friends to try visiting the Sword , I think they will be pleasantly surprised. Well done to all staff , your an inspiration to the LGBT community . Adrian

Great atmosphere and even better prices. Very friendly pub highly recommended.

Great proper working man's real boozer, a rare luxury and probably due to the fantastically low prices.

Good place to drink in.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Small 0ub that usually has a couple of ales on. Music was loud.

Reasonably priced drinks, pop in here after work some days. Feel comfortable here sitting alone, everyones friendly and non judgemental

Go here regularly now ...good service ...good prices and a nice social atmosphere

Friendly staff sports TV and music from Duke box.A quaint little town pub with reasonable priced drinks.

Good friendly , cheap beer. . Pleasant staff

Great pub! Wide assortment of beers and ciders and the friendliest of people.

Good pub friendly staff from a visitor from the emerald Isle

Brilliant pub, good friendly atmosphere - I'd recommend it to anyone !!

Nice pub apart from having to listen to bar staff having argument with someone on phone swearing aggressive conversation on phone while serving behind bar. Totally unacceptable behaviour of a member of staff to behave in that way. Not something I want yo listen to when out or being served.

Nice pub for a quick pint but the Google photo is New Inn, not the Sword??

Amazing atmosphere and really friendly staff 👌

Four of us went for a meal with our dog on a Tuesday evening, website states pet friendly by they most certainly are not, on arriving we we were told that they aren't pet friendly and we couldn't have a meal. Don't say your pet friendly when you're clearly not.

Great friendly place food excellent

What a fantastic place the landlady and landlord are amazing. The local are very friendly and welcoming next time I am in Gloucester I will definitely do a revisit

Loverly little pub great landlord.and landlady very friendly and always a good atmosphere in there

What a joke of a pub... booked 3 local live music groups as a Halloween spectacular. Stopped the whole programme during the first set because their regular clientele didn't find it entertaining. These are local musicians with a huge following, many of whom had turned up in costume for Halloween. To stop a musician mid set to turn on your horrible cd music is an insult. What a lot of custom and money you lost on what was promising to be a great night. Rest assured none of those people will return to your establishment and I personally will ensure through social media that everyone knows you're unreliable, untrustworthy, rude and cruel.

On a Friday night the music is great, 7.00 - 8 30 60s to 90s disco...great, drinks are great prices

Best pub for cheap drinks and the atmosphere is great thee entertainment is great aswell x

Brilliant pub Brilliant atmosphere great friendly helpful staff 👍

To be honest as it is the oldest public house in Gloucester,it is quit specious and so friendly. The bar staff and the land lord cant do enough to help anyone. Great relaxing music and a lovely pint too. Ty to all at the sword,was made very welcome. Hope to see you all soon again.

Very nice landlady and bar staff very polite good service at competitive prices.

Great Atmosphere and very friendly staff .

Friendly staff and a good choice of beers

We went for a day out in Gloucester &popped into this bar. We were met with a friendly atmosphere &the greeter couldn't have been nicer. It's ideal to go to with friends or on your own for a drink.

Nice little pub for drinks and watching sports very cheap prices for drinks.

Disappointment this visit the place has gone down hill. The landlord has zero manners. Turned us away saying no room. But it's ok for a group of 5 to walk in straight behind us and not turned away. If your face fits then it's ok I assume.. he wont last long..

A lovely place to go and have a nice quiet pine I'd rather not tell too many people how wonderful it is

Surprisingly cheat and tons of character

Another great Craft Union pub. Friendly welcome, excellent prices, good music and a pool table to boot.

Take this place for what it is. The cheapest beer in the city, always busy with a happy atmosphere and big screens to watch the sports on TV.

Massively surprised at this pub. Didn't have high hopes before I was invited here but I was pleasantly surprised. Worthingtons £1.80 a pint! Don't mind if we do, again and again. All the beers were competitively priced! Had big TVs with Sports on as a bonus for those who want it. Plus a pool table. Wasn't expecting to want to go back but I will be!

Only been there a couple times good price on drinks nice place to stop for a drink

Cheap and cheerful. In town so no driving.

Well what can I say what a cracking night friendly staff and they can have fun thank you for having us Steve and Steve from Simpson party hire

Only popped in for a pint can't remember if it was any good, certainly nothing remarkable

Great atmosphere and service Bar staff pleasant and friendly Good value for money

Cheap drinks and it shows sport.

Cant fault it. Great prices and good service. £1.90 for strongbow 👍🏻👍🏻

Had a great time at The Sword Inn. A quick visit from London - on a lazy Sunday afternoon- friendly staff and extremely inexpensive drinks (did a double take on how cheap)! We were happy to stay for a while. Plenty of TVs to watch all sports on ... great music. The locals were super friendly and kind- exchanged great stories - would definitely recommend!

Popular pub nice pints and footy on

Pleasant for an early evening chat but a dirth of real ale. Multiple screens with sport playing. Not really my thing but if you like lager and sports definitely could be worth a visit.

Small pub that keeps changing hands..... No food served there .

Bad landlord, short pints, no manners

Proper pub. Not pretty but great atmosphere and 1st class bitter.

we enjoyed a very good meal here.the staff are very friendly & helpful.good selection on the menu.good selection of drinks.

Staying in Gloucester and needed somewhere to watch the game. Plenty of screens and both games (Arsenal and Chelsea Europa League) were being shown in different areas. No food available. But decent beer. Don't expect too much; this was very much a basic pub experience but we were made welcome enough.

Usual people not in..maybe a night off?? Atmosphere was totally different staff were slow .

Lagers and beers. No decent ales. Avoid!

Nice pub with good choice of beers cider and lager.

Competitively priced pints 10/10

Great traditional pub with plenty for the sports fan. Very, very student friendly. Beer at 'spoons prices and although they don't serve food, happy for you to eat in if you buy a drink. Great hosts

A good sports bar but average beer

Friendly barmaid, who is coping very well with an unexpectedly large crowd of Munster Supporters. Great place to watch rugby. Lovely water :-) Toilets could be better but grand apart from that.

Great landlady but the other half is something else.

This was our first trip to Gloucester. Appears to be a sports bar with all the TVs but interesting there was no sound. Odd. Service was good.

The sword is the most welcoming pub in Gloucester. Brilliant atmosphere and even better pints at very competitive prices. Tuesday quiz night is a riot and a highlight of the week. Steve and Sandra are the best possible hosts anyone could ask for. Thank you for the birthday cakes it was so though full of you lots of love potters xx

Massive click to the pub and if your face don't fit you don't.

£1.80 for a pint, that's a proper good old days Inn. Friendly people too.

Cheap beer ..........not much else to say.

Sign up saying no pikeys. Absolutely shocking. Avoid. Would she get away with a sign saying no blacks?

The land lady is foul mouthed , who feels it is acceptable to cast aspersions on other members of the public without an iota of evidence or respect- shame on her!! The establishment would otherwise be a reasonable place to visit

Very clean pub beers cheap Landlord and Landlady very welcoming 😁😁😁

Cosy, local pub with pleasant staff and domestic atmosphere.

Nice to pop in for a pint and enjoy music and sports. Great prices, too

Great pub, very cheap ale. Barnsley Dave, a funny character 🤣
