The Tall Ship

The Tall Ship is a dog-friendly pub on Southgate Street, right by Gloucester Docks and close to Gloucester Quays. It's a proper docks-side local with a lively, social feel: drinks at the bar, regular live music, sport on TV and that easy pub atmosphere that works well when you want somewhere straightforward after a wander around the city.

The location is a big part of the appeal. Set near the edge of the historic docks, it's a handy stop if you're exploring Gloucester, heading towards the Quays, or looking for a relaxed place to pause without straying far from the waterfront. There's also a rear courtyard/patio, giving you another option when the weather decides to behave.

Dogs are welcome inside, with water bowls and treats available for four-legged visitors. That makes The Tall Ship a useful indoor dog-friendly pub in Gloucester for drinks, live music, sport and a no-fuss stop near the docks.
