The Abbey Bar in Gloucester

About This Pub

You know, when I popped into The Abbey, I was really impressed by how welcoming it all felt; the staff went out of their way to make sure everything was spot on, and the food was a real treat, especially that double beef – it's one of those dishes you'd go back for. They've got a great setup for watching the footy or rugby on the big screens, and the bottomless brunch is a proper laugh if you're out with mates. The outdoor courtyard is a nice touch for when the weather's on your side, and it's easy to get around, which is handy for everyone. On the flip side, the furniture's a bit of a jumble, like it's all been thrown together, so it doesn't have that polished feel some places do. And being such a big space, it can feel a little empty if it's not buzzing, but overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening in Gloucester – I'd say give it a go if you're after good value and a fun atmosphere.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making every visit feel welcoming and personal.
The food is absolutely delicious, with standout dishes like the double beef that leave you wanting more.
It's got a brilliant atmosphere for enjoying live sports, bottomless brunches, or just catching up with friends over craft beers and cocktails.
Prices are reasonable, especially for the drinks and food options available, and it's got a great outdoor courtyard for sunnier days.
The place is spacious and wheelchair accessible, with plenty of room to manoeuvre and options like a pool table for added fun.

Cons

The decor is a bit mismatched with various tables and chairs, which can make it feel a tad haphazard rather than cosy.
As a larger venue, it might come across as impersonal during quieter times, missing that intimate pub charm.

Again we had a wonderful night with family and friends. The Bottomless brunch is the one! Served by Jess J who was very tentative and the Team headed up by Gary were equally superb!

Quite a large place. Tap beers and ciders available. Large TV on the wall with a few smaller dotted around. I had a pint of Guinness which was at a reasonable price. Wooden floors throughout. Mix match of tables and chairs. Wheelchair accessable with plenty of room to manoeuvre. Staff were friendly and polite. Beer was reasonable. Good visit.

Great place to celebrate my birthday. First time doing bottomless brunch... Well, let's just say they didn't hold back on supplying us with loads of drinks.

Have been to the Abbey pub many times over the years. Though the interior is still the same it looks as tho it has changed ownership and is now under a craft social. Plenty of tables and an outdoor courtyard. Area with pool table. And big screen TV but if that's not your thing you can sit well away from it. In cosy booths. Having made both my food and drink choices I decided to try ordering through the app ...which was easily accessed via the qr code . I went with a g&t ...now I like my tonic separate ...so I was a little peeved when it arrived already mixed. However when the stunning floral crafted gin was put in front of me all was forgiven. My cutlery and a selection of condiments were brought prior to my food arriving. Which also was extremely good and well presented. Drink prices pretty average...food maybe a little more than you'd pay say at a wetherspoons. Seemed very popular with all age groups.
