The Glebe

You'll find this Joules taphouse tucked away on Glebe Street, and it's exactly what a proper Stoke pub should be. The interior strikes that perfect balance between traditional charm and modern comfort – dark wood, warm lighting, and enough character to make you want to settle in for the evening rather than just pop in for a quick pint. The beer selection is spot on, with Joules' own brews taking centre stage alongside a decent range of guests. Food-wise, they've nailed the elevated pub grub brief without getting too fancy about it. The kitchen knows what it's doing, whether you're after a proper Sunday roast or something lighter midweek. Staff actually seem to enjoy working here, which makes all the difference when you're deciding between one more pint or heading home.
