Temple Meads Station |
| Cottage Inn | Pleasant traditional decor in this smallish one-roomed pub on the waterside, which was packed with diners on a Sunday lunchtime, and the dinners looked good. My pint of Butcombe bitter was of mediocre quality.

Victoria Street |
| Penny Farthing | The fine old interior of this Wadworth's house might be all fake, I can't tell. Anyway, the full range of Wadworth brews in comfortable surroundings.

Clifton Down |
| Three Sugar Loaves | Ancient stone walls and bare brickwork, wood beams and wooden floors in this city centre pub, serving a small selection of real ales. Great for an afternoon visit: Quality beer, a few regulars chit-chatting, music good and not too loud - In fact, spot on.

| Linden Tree | Excellent real ale in this fine pub with an historic interior, or is it all fake? Wagon wheels!? Either way, it combines with just the right amount of bric-a-brac suspended from the ceiling, to create a good effect overall. A wide range of Wadworth's ales plus guests is on sale, and I noticed some were served without the aid of a hand pump - Unusual to see this arrangement outside Scotland.

| Pig Inn The City | Plain pleasant decor in a friendly local boozer serving an excellent range of quality real ales. Live music two or three times a week. The menu looks good. Highly recommended.

| Tank | Brewery tap for the Gloucester Brewery which is located just across the canal from here, this smallish modern 'shed' has bare brick and naked aircon ducts as the decor. Their own brews and guests on hand-pump. The food looks good.

| Imperial Hotel | Really more of a restaurant than a pub, but providing a good pint of Doom Bar.
Last visited June 2013. |
|
| Wetherspoon's Lord John | A medium-sized Wetherspoon's in a large hall with a lantern roof, formerly Stroud's main post office. Like the rest of the town, very quiet on a Sunday.
