About Cross Keys Inn

On Cross Keys Ln in Gloucester, Cross Keys Inn is a pub in an old building reached down a side alley. Music runs through its programme, with northern soul and Motown nights and afternoon karaoke, and a DJ plays in the garden. That music carries out to the high street, and the evenings include dancing for those who want to join in. Drinks are served at the bar, with beers and pints on offer, poured into plastic cups. The pub also works as a venue, and dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary

The music is also the sharpest complaint. Two reviewers say it is blasted outside, with karaoke audible along the high street on a Sunday afternoon, which they call obnoxious given the nearby hotels. Others raise service and drinks: one describes a busy night where an older bartender rolled her eyes and huffed while a colleague on the other side of the bar was warm and smiling, and another criticises double vodkas served in plastic cups, half filled with lemonade and gone in three mouthfuls. One calls the place a little rough around the edges.

Featured reviews

  • Ben Torr
    “Obnoxiously loud music being blasted outside that can be heard from all the way down the high street. Not sure who thought this would be a good idea considering there are many hotels in the area. Very inconsiderate for a local business owner”
  • Peter Episcopo BASS
    “Please turn the music down outdoors. Sunday afternoon on the high street all you hear is horrible karaoke singing. Absolutely obnoxious...”
  • Stephen Bletso
