In a paragraph

The Foregate is a small independent pub in a 17th-century Foregate Street building, with cask, draught beer, wine, cocktails, whisky, live music and live sport.

What it's like

The Foregate sits on the busy east side of the centre, close to The Square Bottle, Old Queen's Head, That Beer Place and the Gorse Stacks bus stops. It is smaller and more local-feeling than several neighbours.

Everyday pub on Foregate Street

The building gives it some character: lower ceilings, old-pub shape and a cosier feel than the street outside suggests. Use it for a drink, sport or live music, not a long dinner plan.

Worth knowing

The Foregate is not flashy, which is part of the appeal. It is a small, independent central pub with music, sport and decent-value drinks. Build dinner elsewhere, then use this for the pint.
