Dark, cold and fairly charmless place. Stupid beer system with two boards either side of a mirror arch, which are split - the lhs is the beer and rhs is the brewer which isn't obvious, even to the staff (as I discovered). Boiled down to four cask, a cider, and a plethora of keg - very heavy on Attic Brewery (who they?). My half of cask Attic Rumble was served in a silly goblet glass and was a poor brew if in technically decent shape (NBSS 3) and my missus’ keg stout from them was also a substandard brew. Grating music made me hurry my drink. Not my kind of place but it was busy enough with the posh youth of Cheltenham, they are welcome to it. GBG’23 listed.

As stated below no info on the taps can be disconcerting at first but then you see the boards.

Opposite The Swan it’s a modern style bar in an L shaped room, the counter is on the extreme left with tall seating beside it and lower tables and chairs at the right hand end. There’s an horseshoe at each end of the counter with six pulls in the middle. Don’t worry about the lack of pump clips or indeed keg roundels; all the beers and ciders are listed above on two boards which you need to read across. One board lists the name, strength and type while the other has the brewery and pricing info. On my visit there were four cask beers and two ciders, with 14 kegs, small West Country brewers being well represented. Wooden floors, dark blue walls and big clear windows make it quite striking visually. It occasionally has live music. Obviously not really a haunt for older beer swillers but reasonable all the same.
