| Up for sale no wonder. bit of love needed nice pint though. MasterBrewer - 24 Jun 2011 21:16 |
| A tiny single room bar on a street corner near the abbey, although there is also a downstairs bar which is open in the evenings. The pub itself is a traditional layout with a bar in one corner, bench seating around the edge, some wood panelling and large windows on two sides. A real (gas) fire was blazing away which was a nice touch on a freezing December afternoon. There are a couple of fruit machines in one corner with a plasma mounted up above, although this was not in use on our visit. The back of the bar is a very ornate wooden carving and there was some Bath Rugby memorabilia dotted around such as signed team photos and shirts. This is one of the nearest pubs to their ground, and gets packed on match days I would imagine. The one downside was really the barman who unfortunately seemed to have some sort of skin condition. The whole time we were there he was continually scratching his head, arms, legs and even dabbing his face with a blood spotted tissue. I hope the guy gets better soon, but this was a little off putting, and hardly seems appropriate for someone working in catering. Despite the name of the pub, the beer selection was fairly pedestrian with Jem, Courage Best and London Pride behind the bar. Ciders were Blackthorn and Gaymer’s Pear. Blackthorn - 7 Dec 2010 17:01 |
| We had a boys (over 60's!) day out in Bath and this was our first port of call from getting off the train. We felt welcomed and were treated well, so much so that we decided to return in the evening. Oh dear. The lad behind the bar never stopped texting while we were being served. Worse, I asked for a bottled beer which he served to me a in a glass engraved "Gaymers Cider". I asked for a proper glass and he raised his eyebrows derisively. Mighty1 - 4 Dec 2010 14:42 |
| In such a touristy area it always amazes me that this tiny street corner local survives unchanged, good pint of Bath ales for £2.80 a pint, tiny little downstairs bar and an upstairs one for bust periods. Does food lunchtimes I think.Unspoilt and all the better for it. Hodge1 - 4 Nov 2010 16:10 |
