The Five Alls is a handsome pub on Cheltenham's Bath Road, pairing craft ales, a strong wine list and the largest gin range on Bath Road with a globally-inspired small-plates menu (vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options included). A comfortable lounge with a traditional open fire leads through to a rear courtyard garden, and it's dog-friendly. For entertainment it runs a regular programme of live music, open-mic nights on Tuesdays and karaoke, making it a dependable spot for Cheltenham's grassroots and acoustic performers across original sets and covers.
