Nice vegetarian food (i'm not a vegetarian but have frequently visited with a veggie friend). Comedy nights downstairs are legendary and they also own Moles Club next door. Very friendly staff, nice beer and great food.

Nice pub. Famous for its vegetarian food. Good beer on tap. Been a few times now (had food each time). Also ideal for going on to moles Club next door.

I've been going here for the past 7 years. Best time to go is monday to friday between 5.30 and 6.30. It's happy hour and a pint of Bellringer can be had for £2.00. The place gets busy in the evenings and the local chavs know to stay away! Bar staff friendly too.

The place has a general air of chaos to it in a good sort of way. Bellringer and Sharps beers were both fine on our visit. Still had that student bar feel to it outside of term time (probably influenced by the bar staff). Good range of entertainment downstairs. Not to everyone's taste but still recommended for a try.

It's so full of students i was led to think i had wandered into a lecture on loud braying and rizla poncing, lost two lighters in one session there. Veggie " food " is not recognised as sustaining you on a drinking session.

Affected and slightly pseudo it may be, but the management have recognised that like it or not there is a large market in Bath for this kind of liberal, folky atmos, particularly amongst the well-heeled youngsters who want to try and pretend they're not from privileged homes. Fair enough - it isn't a bad place for all that. Reasonable beer and the veggies seemed happy wity their grub. Not one of Bath's essentials in my view, but it has its purpose.

Reminds me of the sort of pubs I went to as a lad: scruffs, indie and rock music, gigs in the evening and a general, lazy vibe to it. It also has veggie food and a proper music venue next door which makes it more of a 'youth pub of my dreams' than anything like where I did drink in the early nineties.

Didn't try the food, despite being a veggie, as the ale had run out on Saturday night (at 7.30pm, minus a couple of marks for that!) and it was waaaay too smokey to eat (which is probably me showing my age) but the next time I'm Bath I'd come back here for beer.

Attached to moles Club next door, with open-mike nights on monday and music or comedy most others. Bellringer on tap, but as with moles avoid the mcEwans and kronenbourg lager, either they never clean those pipes or their supplier sells them five year out of date stuff. Also pool tables downstairs and good veggie food abounds which is always a nice change!

Groundswell on Monday night is fantastic!
(my band "shay&co" are headlining there on Monday March 6th!)

i liked this pub - caters for veggies granted, but every other pub in town will probably serve you a burger, so i don't mind if one caters just for the tofu eaters.

a bit "bohemian" this pub - men wearing berets and i heard the Levellers being played in the background. it's a good pub though.

An OK pub, but what on earth is the point of the rabbit food?

A cool pub right in the middle of town, sit outside and watch the mentalists go by..
