About This Pub

Ah, the Sword Inn – it's one of those pubs that really hits the spot if you're a fan of live sports and a good value pint. From what I've gathered, the place does a smashing job with its unbeatable drink offers and a lineup of screens showing all the big games, whether it's football, rugby, or even the horses. The staff are gems, always polite and on the ball, which adds to that welcoming traditional pub feel, and there's even outside seating for when the weather's on your side. On the flip side, it can attract a crowd that might seem a tad intense for some, like the more regular types who are there for the serious drinking scene, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea if you're after something a bit more mellow. All in all, it's a solid choice for a casual night out with friends, especially if you're keen on catching the match without breaking the bank – I'd say give it a go and see if it suits your fancy!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The drinks are reasonably priced and there are some cracking offers, making it a wallet-friendly spot for a pint or two.
  • It's a top-notch place for watching live sports, with plenty of screens showing everything from Premier League to rugby and horse racing.
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – polite, quick, and really welcoming, which makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting.
  • It has a great traditional pub atmosphere with options for games and outside seating, perfect for relaxing with mates after a long day.
Cons
  • The crowd can sometimes come across as a bit of a hardened bunch, which might not suit everyone looking for a more relaxed or family-oriented vibe, even if they're friendly.
  • It seems to be one of the livelier pubs in Gloucester, but that could mean it's not as peaceful if you're after a quiet drink away from the hustle.
