Blue Scrumpy left this review about Angies

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.
