The Pelican Inn, Gloucester

The best pub in Gloucester? I would say so. Well described below, this is an oasis of calm, very close to the cathedral. It takes a bit of finding the first time, but after that it's easy. :-)) Great selection of ales and all the ones we had were in very good condition. A good selection of regulars as well, all friendly, as was the barman. It's a very good pub and I could happily have spent hours here. Sadly I was outvoted one all, so we had to leave after an hour or so.

Not a lot to add to previous reviews: friendly and efficient service, excellent beers in good condition, pleasant atmosphere; even the Sunday papers so that I could catch up on the football. Just a very good pub, which I wish I'd stayed in rather than catching a train to Cheltenham. (Surprising not to have bumped into Soup Dragon when I was here - hope he doesn't think I'm stalking him.)
