The White Hart in Gloucester

Ah, The White Hart – it's one of those pubs that really comes alive when Gloucester Rugby is playing, with a welcoming buzz that makes you feel part of the action right across from the Kingsholm ground. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this infectious energy on game days, packed with fans enjoying a solid range of beers and some wallet-friendly deals, all while soaking in the rugby memorabilia and catching every match on the multiple screens. The bar staff sound like a friendly bunch, adding to that homely feel, and there's plenty to do with a pool table and darts on offer for a bit of fun. On the flip side, though, it's not always hopping – weekdays can be pretty subdued, which might leave you wanting more if you're not there for the rugby. Plus, being cash-only is a bit old-school and could catch you out, and with no online presence or clear hours, it's tricky to plan ahead. Overall, it's a solid choice for those big match days, but worth keeping in mind it might not be your go-to every time – still, I'd say give it a try if you're in the area and fancy a pint with a side of sporty spirit.
