E TA left this review about The Gloucester
Previously Moby Dick’s and The Cork and Bottle, this large subterranean hotel bar has now had the decency to take its host business’s name. Rather than an hotel bar, though, it feels more like a sports bar. There are TV screens showing live sports, a pool table and a selection of gaming machines. Dog treats are available on the bar. Three ales on were Black Sheep, Razorback and Hobgoblin, all in fair condition. The keg range was also more appropriate to a sports bar – Inch’s Cider, 1664, Guinness, Old Mout, Heineken, Foster’s, Cruzcampo, Neck Oil and San Miguel. Fine for watching the odd match but not really my cup of tea.

Strongers . left this review about Moby Dick's
Moby Dick’s is located in the basement of a hotel/apartment block on the Esplanade in Weymouth. It was known as the Cork and Bottle until 2009 when it gained its current moniker and became a ‘pub and eating place’. The mains off the menu are priced around the £10 mark and their ‘legendary fish and chips’ are heavily plugged.
As this is place is in the basement there are steps down to the entrance and paved seating area that stretches the length of this long and thin pub. The interior of the pub is L shaped and there is a pool table and dartboard to the left of the long bar. The seating opposite the bar is split into various nautical themed areas like the Captain’s Table and Quarter Deck. At the far right of the pub is the Wine Cabin which is a small seating area with a projector screen that had been reserved and decorated for a private party. There are plasma screens located throughout and Sky Sports is shown. Muted Olympic coverage was being aired during my recent midweek visit and there was a live band playing.
I found the service to be friendly enough and the Sharp’s Cornish Coaster was on good form. Exmoor Ale was also available alongside a standard draught selection.
As family friendly food pubs go this place is alright, if maybe a little pricey. I would consider returning for a spot of lunch if I had the kids in tow, but I would choose a proper boozer if on my own.

The Cork and Bottle is a large pub on the sea front that is in the basement of an hotel.
There are a lot of seats outside this pub which are also under cover but the only view you get is a brick wall.
Once inside here there is one longish large room with a long bar that faces you as you go in,there were two real ales on here we had a drink of Ringwood Forty Niner which was not a bad drink the other beer was Bass.
This pub lets children in but it it easlily missed when walking along the sea front.
Pub visited 25 August 1999.
