Why people come back
A proper local first — with music, food, and weekly nights that give it its own character.
The Cotswold Inn works best as the kind of pub you can drop into for one drink and end up staying for the atmosphere, the music, and the people.
Weekly nights with personality
Quiz night, karaoke, acoustic sessions, and weekend live music give the week a clear rhythm.
Friendly, not overdone
A welcoming local atmosphere that still feels like a proper pub rather than a polished chain venue.
What’s on this week
Easy pints in the week, then quiz night, live music, and Sunday Night Live.
The line-up keeps the pub feeling like itself: relaxed early in the week, then busier and more music-led as the weekend gets closer.

About the inn
A Cheltenham local where music matters, but the pub always comes first.
The Cotswold Inn is a warm, friendly pub on the edge of Cheltenham town centre. It is the sort of place people can come in for a quiet pint, stay on for quiz night, or end up spending the evening once the room starts to build.
Thursdays bring homemade food and the quiz. Fridays and Saturdays bring live music. Sunday Night Live keeps things open and informal with music, comedy, poetry, and spoken word.
