A family run, traditional ale house. Popular with cyclists, cathedral visitors and fans attending Gloucester Rugby home matches. Multi-award winning for beer quality (Gloucestershire CAMRA Pub of the Year 2020, Gloucester City Pub of the Year 2014-18 & 2020. Good Beer Guide 2014-2022). Hosts two beer festivals each year in June and February with as many as 44 beers on offer aswell as a Tap-Takeover in November. 10 Real ales and 4 or 5 craft kegs on at all other times.

Licensed as an alehouse in the 17th-Century, people believe that some of its beams could have come from Drake's "Golden Hind" which began life as the "Pelican". Rescued and refurbished by Wye Valley Brewery in 2012. Real fire on cold days. Gloucester CAMRA Pub of the Year 2018 and Cider Pub of the Year 2018.

Historic Interest

Dating from 1679 and Grade II Listed. The pub has always been known as the Pelican Inn though for a brief period (under the ownership of Banks's Brewery 1995-1999) it was called The College Arms.
