The Nelson Inn, Gloucester

The pub is still as described by the ever worthy OB below. This is a corner pub with rear patio area. It looks Georgian, which would be in keeping with the name. The upper floors are flats, i think. The pub has a projecting frontage, in white brick, which allows for the corner entrance. The lower frontage is in green glazed tiling, with some window and door decoration. The windows are modern. The interior has two rooms, the smaller to the side having a pool table in and being in red and white (a little tired too, from my glimpse). The main room is L-shaped, with the bar facing you on entry. It is in white and white beam, with a carpet floor. At the back there is a sofa area and a small stage, where the same DJ equipment and Bob Marley shrine lives on. The walls still have the same Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn stuff on them. There is a TV, which had footy on and there was no music, although there is a jukebox. The service was friendly enough, in what is a local's pub. Beer; three pulls, but no real ale. I just had a shandy. A general, basic pub.

Near the historic docks it still has the air of a dockland pub of a few years ago. The lower front exterior is nicely done in tiles but the interior is a bit on the bare side with plain white walls. There is a boxing machine and fruit machine but also a large picture of Audrey Hepburn and lots and lots of Maralyn Monroe, it is definitely not a gay bar however. There is a load of DJ kit at the back and a Bob Marley shrine. Three unused handpumps are fitted at one end of the bar otherwise the usual keg suspects. However the one saving grace is the presence in the fridge of stacks of Guinness Foreign Export Stout.
