Ye Old Farm House, Bathback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
What can I say about this place?? Dirty, rude staff and the prices are high. Don't bother talking to the management as they can't be bothered and save your money and go somewhere else!!!!!

A traditional old boozer located close enough to the city centre, but it�s up a bit of a hill and with mostly residential streets beyond it is unlikely to attract many of Bath�s visitors. Jazz seems to feature heavily here, with numerous black and white photo�s on the walls and a band area at the rear that had some suitable large speakers and a DJ console. There was even an old trumpet hanging on the wall next to the bar.
The colour scheme is an odd mix of purple and orange which might not be to everyone�s taste, but there is also plenty of stained glass, in the lower half of the exterior windows, in the porch and above the bar. It�s a L-shape bar with the rear area being up a few steps. The front part has traditional wood bench seating around the perimeter with a liberal sprinkling of brightly coloured cushions. Potted plants on the window sill, a brick fireplace and a pile of board games complete the interior furnishings. The rear bar had a pool table and a plasma, and this led out to a small terrace.
Beers on tap were all from the Wadworth�s stable, with their Malt & Hops, Horizon, 6X and Henry�s IPA. Ciders were Thatcher�s Gold and Weston�s Traditional Scrumpy.

The Farmhouse is back open! We have brought back live music to the pub on Friday and Saturday nights and also have a simple, but delicious menu served lunches and evenings. Sunday lunch is also available from 12-3pm for �6.95 - well worth the walk up the hill!

It's been re-opened again under new management. I can't comment as I haven't been there yet.

At present the Farmhouse is closed and needing new tenants. A sad end to an era.

This has been Bath's top jazz pub for as long as amyone can remember. Now under new management by the same people who run the Northey Arms and a couple of other foodie pubs in the country. Smartened up a bit but there's still jazz on Tuesday and Sundays. Menu looks good. Friendly enough pub with a lot of the old regulars still hanging around, but although there's a lot of handpumps and the beer is all well kept, it's all Wadworths. They don't even do Bellringer (which is brewed in the yard out the back) any more for goodness sake!
