Tucked away down an alleyway between Magdalen Street and Gloucester Green, the pub has a predominantly young and student clientele in the evenings but a wider range of customers during the day, attracted by five ever-rotating real ales from local suppliers, which normally includes a gluten free option. There are 3 small areas inside but now also a large covered and heated patio on the site of a former private car park, which more than doubles total seating capacity. The White Rabbit (formerly the Gloucester Arms) is renowned for its own-branded pizzas, all made fresh on site, and gluten-free bases available.

Three-storey tucked-away pub with old fielded panelling on walls in the entrance lobby and a number of areas with some old fittings.The centrally placed servery has a fielded panelled bar counter and old two-sided bar back with mirrored panels, wood panelled ceiling above servery, but fridges have replaced lower shelves.

A doorway leads to a room at the rear with a part parquet part wood floor, a good wood surround fireplace with a modern cast iron interior; and another side of the bar counter here. Lots of old dado panelling on the walls painted grey green and at the rear a small inter-war brick fireplace so possibly two small rooms in the past.

There is a wide arch to a small area in front of the servery with a bare wood floor, high backed fixed seating around three sides painted grey green, one large dining table plus two smaller tables. On the right of the servery there is a red tiled floor room through a wide archway with old dado panelling, wood-backed fixed seating around most of the room, a small cast-iron fireplace (modern) and another side of the bar counter here.
