Café René

Tucked down a passage off Southgate Street, Café René is one of Gloucester's best-loved pubs, with a medieval well inside, a heated courtyard and a cellar bar that has been a home for live music for decades. Expect a friendly crowd, well-kept beer and hearty pub food. Gigs run most weeks, from blues and funk bands to DJ nights, making it a top pick for an evening out in the city centre.
