First pub I drank at in Salisbury. Though staying at the Wetherspoon's it was bursting with coffee drinkers and diners every time I looked in. Room was good though. The Cathedral was absolutely fine on all measures: reasonably priced drinks, tasty food & efficient service. Popped in several times during my visit & had pints of Ringwood Best (3.50) & Speckled Hen (3.20), as well as a couple of filling meals.

Nice mixture of bar area and then lounge for families. Good selection of beers and probably the busiest bar in town on a wet Sunday evening !! Ringwood Bitter, Jennings Crag Rat and Hibgoblin all slid down well

The Cathedral Hotel is now under new ownership and has been completely refurbished.
It stayed open til 2am on the Saturday and was very lively. Great for dancing. It has quite a big bar area so you can either chill in the Lounge area or boogie away on the dance floor.
It has a great Patio/Garden area out the back with heaters (for any smokers or outdoor types like myself.)
They have a good food menu and served til 9pm.
They also have refurbished the bedrooms and the room we stayed in was very tastefully done out. Totally recommend the Breakfast (although I couldn't eat it all)
Totally recommend for a great night out or stay if you are site seeing like us.

The cathedral hotel has actually picked up a lot in the last couple of months and is pretty much back to the way it used to be. Queues of people waiting to get in most of the night etc... so i can't really see how some people think it is so bad. It's by no stretch of the imagination the best bar around, but for salisbury it's probably one of the best places to be. Unless you prefer snobby, stuck up big heads - in which case you might like to give Kludo a try. In any case the cathedral hotel won't be here much longer it will soon become a walkabout. We do need somewhere else to go in salisbury. Lets just hope it's not just another weatherspoons!!!!

Dirt cheap beer. Not the prettiest bar in the world but is perfectly OK.

Cheap beer and the staff are fit!!! Not very busy though.

This used to be the trendy place to go before hitting the club. These days it's empty
