Just a short walk from Stoke-on-Trent railway station. Got a bit dippy with the barmaid confused by which pump was actually dispensing the Joule's Pale Ale but all's well in the end.

The last pub visit on a day of visiting the Potteries. Although the bar was very busy the staff took time to talk to us about the pub and to top up our glasses when requested.

Website.

The pub is found in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST4 1HG.

The Glebe is in the heart of old Stoke with the city’s magnificent civic buildings, designed by Henry Ward in 1834, wrapping their way around the pub whilst the majestic Stoke Minster looks on. The pub is rather dwarfed by all this grandeur but the effect is to magnify the pub’s quality and its stubbornness to survive. It is a classic corner pub of its day built at the same time as the civic buildings during William IVs short reign pre Victoria. It is listed with its classic design, some marvellous features; unique leaded glazing by the studio of William Morris, period architrave and its original central rounded mahogany bar counter. The glasswork was all restored by Paul Georgiou a master craftsman based in Erdington. At the very heart of the original Joule’s pub estate the Glebe is the flagship Joule’s Ale House for Stoke-on-Trent. It’s a reasonably short walk from the mainline railway station, so is as convenient for visitors as for local people. Front and rear bars each with their own bar counter and handpumps (4 in front, 5 in rear) but best to get served in the back bar as that is where the bar staff always congregate.

We have visited this pub 18 times, seen 10 different beers and tried 9 of them.
