You'll find this welcoming pub in Charlton Kings, right on Cheltenham's edge, serving as a genuine community gathering spot rather than a tourist attraction trying too hard.

The Tivoli Tap does what it does well: offers a solid selection of beers with a real focus on local and craft ales alongside the usual lagers and spirits, plus straightforward pub food that suits a casual lunch or evening meal equally well.
The atmosphere strikes that balance between relaxed and friendly without any unnecessary pretension. It works just as well if you're stopping in for a quick drink after exploring the wider Cotswolds or spending time in Cheltenham, or if you want to settle in for a longer evening with friends. The location makes it particularly convenient—you're within easy walking distance of the rest of Charlton Kings, and Cheltenham town centre is only a couple of miles away, so you get that village pub feel while still being close to city amenities if you need them.
This is the kind of place locals actually use, which tends to be the best recommendation any pub can get. It's accessible from Cheltenham without feeling swallowed up by it, offering an authentic slice of how people around here spend their time without any fuss or pretence.
