The Coach & Horses

You'll find The Coach & Horses tucked on St Catherine Street, right in the heart of the city centre where the real Gloucester still exists. It's a proper neighbourhood pub—the sort where regulars have their spots and the bartender remembers your order. The crowd's mixed: city workers popping in after the office, locals who've been coming here for years, and anyone after a genuine pint without the gastropub markup. The place has the comfortable, slightly worn-in feel of a pub that's more interested in looking after its customers than its Instagram feed.
