Me and a few lads heading down Thursday and Friday. Staying in Cheltenham. Looking for a pub or bar afterwards not to busy but not empty with music and a bit of atmosphere. Anyone got any ideas?

I haven't been in an empty bar yet in Cheltenham. We ended up in a bar called Lounge 72 last year which was decent - not sure if be able to find it again though.
Montpellier Street is where we usually head towards the end of the night and there's always plenty of racegoers in the Queen's.
 
I did years of town centre and the chaos/carnage that exists there, I now opt for a quieter time out in Winchcombe/Braodway area.
Montpelier is probably the place to head...

Can't speak for Festival time but went for a couple of days out round the Costwolds last November, very nice around Broadway
 
I wouldn’t actually know as what it’s like as normally can’t remember leaving the Final Flight Bar
 
I adore the Jolly Brewmaster (my in laws live in Cheltenham so we always make a trip there when we're around) but I like it precisely because it's the opposite of what you're looking for!
