Blue Bamboo Bar in Gloucester

Ah, Blue Bamboo Bar – it's one of those hidden gems down at the Docks in Gloucester that I've heard folks raving about, and from what I've seen, it's got that warm, welcoming feel you'd expect from a proper local haunt. The staff really stand out; they're so attentive and make you feel like part of the gang, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or sorting out a bigger event. I love how it's right by the water, giving it this relaxed, scenic vibe that's perfect for chatting over a pint or catching the game on those big screens – it's especially brilliant for sports fans. The prices are fair too, with some cracking deals on drinks and tasty tapas that won't break the bank, and that loyalty card is a nice touch for regulars. On the flip side, it's a cosy spot, which means it might get a bit squished on busier nights, and the beer choices are good but not overwhelming. Plus, without a website or much online info, it's not always straightforward to plan a visit, and the opening times seem a bit all over the place, so you'd want to confirm that beforehand. All in all, it's a solid choice for a fun night out, with more highs than lows, and I'd say it's worth giving it a go if you're in the area – just keep an eye on those little niggles to make the most of it!
