E TA left this review about The Drunken Duck
Disappointment Of The Week award goes to – this place. It’s well described by Quinno, below. The beer selection was fine, consisting of Original House Duck, Thornbridge 90/-, Brew York Milk Stout on cask, with the keg choices of Underfall lager, and Stowford Press and Pacific Haze ciders. What let it down was the attitude of the staff – a thoroughly unwelcoming barman and his less-than-amiable sidekick. A group of party-goers in fancy dress came in and left quickly, so we drank our beers – which, to be fair, were in good condition - and followed them. An uncomfortable atmosphere means we are unlikely to return given that there is plenty of competition.

Excellent micro. Very small downstairs. I popped upstairs for go on the Pacman! Most people were outside as there was a singer on. % beers on, I had an excellent pint from Vocation. Well worth a visit.

Side street micro, GBG listed. Space for 15 max downstairs, a proper local's vibe. There’s a room upstairs with pool, darts and free-to-play arcade machines - Streetfighter, Pac Man and Paperboy (incorrectly marked as Tekken II). Four pumps, Cloudwater heavy on my visit; the Piccadilly Porter was good (NBSS 3.5) and I spotted cheese and onion rolls for 2 quid which always gets my vote. Friendly atmosphere, a shame there wasn’t space for us downstairs as the upstairs was empty and I felt a bit cut-off from proceedings. Be careful to time your visit for a quieter part of the day. 7.5

Very small bar tucked down a lane didn’t visit the upstairs area. 4 real ales and a good bottle and can selection.

Angie's was closed the last time I visited Gloucester shortly after pubs re-opened following a lockdown in July 2020. With the social distancing rules that were in place back then, I can see why they were unable to open. This is a small bar hidden away in a courtyard/alleyway off one of Gloucester's main shopping streets.
We stayed in the small ground floor area, where there are 3 tables, each seating 2. As such, our arrival meant all 6 seats on the ground floor were taken. The unisex toilet can be find near the entrance, along with a set of stairs leading to further drinking upstairs on the first floor.
The landlord was a friendly chap and was explaining the reason for the place's name. His wife and himself had previously owned a bar somewhere in the Mediterranean, of which there is a picture on the windowsill.
Two real ales from Goff's were on - Tournament & Jester Brew 12 Blackberry Porter. The latter was in fine condition and was very tasty indeed. It was to be the first of 3 similar style porters I was to sample in Gloucestershire on the day.
In addition to the real ales, there is also a keg selection, along with a varied bottle selection too. This is certainly up there along with the Pelican and the Turk's Head as one of the best 3 pubs in Gloucester, in my humble opinion.

Good Beer Guide 2020 Entry.
As per Brainy Pools review below - the most friendly of bar owners you could hope to meet.
Track and trace is manual - but once he knows your name, he constantly refers to you by it.
One real ale on at arrival - but when he added a boon doggle, he brought me a free half to taste.
Smallest bar in Gloucester but does have some outside tables for the covid paranoid (like myself!).

Brainy Pool left this review about Angies
an absolutely tiny bar down a side alley. It has been a brilliant effort from them to reopen with decent levels of trade, thanks very much to their small outdoor area. One real ale from Youngs, a few keg beers and a load of bottles. Minuscule area downstairs plus a second floor. Owner is a real peoples person, extremely friendly and hard working, constantly cleaning tables etc and I hope he has continued success with this little gem. The cafe opposite is also excellent.
