Imperial Inn, Gloucester

This is a terraced pub that seems to have been called the Plough prior to a rebuild in the late Victorian period. It has a fantastic frontage, being in glazed tiling and having pilasters and etched glass. The upper storey is in plain brick, with stone window surround. The interior is a single narrow room with the serving bar down to the left. The decor is mint green walls and ceiling, with a dark green cornice and with some wood panel. The walls had lots of beer and spirit mirrors, prints and old photos, and there is bench seating. There is a dart board. The TV had boxing on and the music was ok and mixed. The service was friendly and a few locals were in, as well as tourists. Beer; usual tap stuff with two handpulls - although the Bass had gone leaving only Doombar - so i had Newcy Brown, served with the Newcy Brown 1/2 pint glass. Had a real cider. A nice enough pub, with a general beer choice - but happy enough to have stopped for one.

A narrow pub with a nice tiled exterior, the inside still retains a little Victorian charm, it has the feel of an old pub. The usual old pub fittings of bench seating, wooden tables and chairs , etched windows and a nice fireplace. Modern fittings also with a TV, darts board, old photos and lots of drink related mirrors. It was quite busy at lunchtime with middle aged and older punters. I had a pint of Bass which was almost tasteless.
