    Brilliant real ale pub to visit on match days. Travelled from Blackpool recently and was made to feel very welcome by both staff and customers. Great selection of real ale. Real ale loving away football fans 'must goto pub'.. Highly recommended.

    Amazing little diamond pub! Went with 2 adults and 3 little people. Staff were beyond amazing. So friendly and helpful and welcoming. Even the locals were fantastic! Had a personal guide to the Belgrade theatre! Food was delicious and generous portions. Thank you all so much for such a wonderful experience. Really can't thank everyone enough!

    I booked here as we had a huge group of 38, Andrew was very accommodating sending me the menu prior so we could all order. Was a good choice of food and was super tasty πŸ˜‹. I would not hesitate in booking the Gatehouse Tavern again so friendly and professional staff ... Thank you guys for the night to complete our weekend.

    What a cracking pub. Great selection of beer, warm welcome, free food on the bar (it was a Sunday) and a lovely garden in the city centre. Great value too. Will definitely return when back in Cov.

  • 4/5 Shaun J. 11 months ago on Google
    Traditional pub with decent real ale, they have 4 or 5 ales on cask price at Β£4.70 per pint, nice laid back atmosphere with a mature crowd

  • 5/5 Michael W. 9 months ago on Google
    Definitely a place to visit, lovely friendly staff. Booked as part of a celebration meal after attending a local competition at the Skydome arena, Around 30+ people including children, all kids loved the food as well as adults, all lovely fresh hot food served. Staff really went above and beyond to ensure we all have a lovely time. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the local area.

    Always a good selection of real ales. Good sized portions of traditional pub grub, tasty and well priced. Loyalty card scheme gives you a free pint for every 12 purchased. Live football and Rugby on the screen. Live music. Not full of Chavs. Great boozerπŸ‘

    Excellent throughout our visit, great selection of beers 🍻, reasonably priced. Food menu was excellent and very well presented and excellent value for money πŸ’° We chose to go here as it is dog friendly. Which was wonderful the barman gave us a bowl of water and the kitchen supplied a gammon for him Excellent experience and will definitely be returning very soon, I would recommend it to anyone especially to dog owners πŸ˜€

  • 4/5 Colin H. 8 months ago on Google
    Always a good pint, basic hearty meals never fail to satisfy. The beer garden is lovely when the sun is out, and the large canopy area outside protects from the rain when it isnt. Can get very busy. Will keep going back.

  • 5/5 Carmel R. 9 months ago on Google
    Great venue, reserved garden tables for a large group and we were treated so well and felt so welcome. Great food, great atmosphere and reasonably priced. Would definitely return if we visit Coventry in the future.

  • 4/5 Chris O. 1 year ago on Google
    When I went it was pretty quiet. We had a decent meal, decent beer and watched the football on bt sports. I can't say it was modern but has a small pub charm, the staff were very pleasant and there is nothing really to complain about. Prices were good so all in all a pretty decent evening.

    Great freehouse with friendly and superfast-serving staff! Wide choice of drinks inc ales on tap that change regularly. The best beer garden in Coventry city centre. Brilliant for rugby and football. Tasty food. Live bands (not every day). Dogs welcome. Children allowed (with drinks limit for responsible adult).

    Very welcoming pub and a great venue for watching sport. The selection of beers was great and the service very friendly.

  • 4/5 Kalahari S. 2 years ago on Google
    A little gem of a place in the city centre, a decent selection of beers, a really nice beer garden, polite owner and staff and good food. The BBQs are good I especially like their burgers. And they have a loyalty card for their beers, buy 10 get one free. It doesn't serve food on Sundays but it does allow you to order in food and will supply you with utensils, which is appreciated and very uncommon in the pub industry. It's also good for watching sport, it's known as a rugby pub but does have the football on too. The Loyalty Cards have been put on hold, unfortunately. But I have been told they maybe back within a month or two - here's to hoping.
