EXS
Gloucestershire's only gay/lesbian club. tends to be busy only late on friday and saturday. closed sunday and monday and varies on other dates. there is usually a cost to entry after 10pm. located at the furthest end of the strand. cheltenham has a low gay population compared to other towns and cities of its size. due to this, you may be stared at by the locals if you are/look gay.
The Retreat
Established wine bar in montpellier, located on suffolk parade. worth finding to enjoy the 'posh' side of cheltenham. popular with cheltenham college on friday/saturday when it can be very busy. ask the locals for other lesser known restaurants and bars nearby. montpellier is not easy to explore without local knowledge.
The Swan

The only large nightclubs in town are Lace High Street, MooMoo Clubrooms, Subtone and Sekushi nothing unique but both enjoyable. Popular mainly with students.
