Greyhound

You'll find yourself in the kind of place that hasn't tried to be anything other than what it is—a proper drinking establishment where regulars know the bar staff by name. The Greyhound sits comfortably in Longlevens, that stretch of Gloucester where things feel lived-in rather than polished. The real ale selection keeps ale enthusiasts coming back, and the food side is honest without trying to punch above its weight. It's the sort of pub where you can spend an afternoon with a pint, or pop in for something to eat without feeling like you've wandered into a gastropub trying too hard. Busy without being heaving, welcoming without being saccharine.
