Cocktail Bar in Gloucester | Oakwood Hotel

A Cocktail Bar in Gloucester, Away From the City Centre

A proper cocktail doesn’t need to mean queuing at a busy city-centre bar on a Friday night. On the edge of Gloucester in Twigworth, Oakwood Hotel offers a relaxed alternative — good drinks, a comfortable setting, and none of the crowding that comes with a popular central venue.

If you’re after a cocktail bar in Gloucester with a bit more space to breathe, Oakwood’s bar offering is worth considering for an evening out.

Drinks at Oakwood

Cocktails and a wider drinks selection are available as part of The Pub, Oakwood’s more relaxed dining and drinks space. Whether it’s a pre-dinner drink, an evening out with friends, or something to enjoy on The Terrace when the weather allows, the setting gives you room to properly relax with a drink in hand.

Why Choose Oakwood for Evening Drinks

A few reasons guests choose us over a central Gloucester bar:

• A quieter, more relaxed setting, away from the noise of a busy city-centre venue.
• Easy, on-site parking, without the hassle of finding a space near a popular bar.
• Food available alongside drinks, so the evening can flow into dinner if you’d like.
• Room to actually sit and talk, rather than standing room only.

Make an Evening of It

For anyone travelling from further afield, rooms are available if you’d rather stay the night than drive home after an evening of drinks.
