| Decent pub, excellent garden, esp for city Centre, beer good. As for cost - I'm sadly getting used to the £3 pint, so nothing unusual. I've never eaten here, so can't comment on food. MrBlue - 2 Jun 2008 14:21 |
| Was down in Bath for the weekend and as it was a surprise weekend arranged by the wife and she did not tell me where we were going, was unable to utilise beerintheevening to research decent watering holes before coming down. After spending an exhausting 3 hours walking around the Roman Baths found the Crystal Palace Tavern and went in to try the local Brewery Ale. Have to say I’m slightly surprised by the previous comments as I found this to be a half decent pub. Great location in a quiet square, spitting distance from the Abbey and the Roman Baths. Two good bars either side of a central serving area, and a large patio area out the back where the smokers are protected by a jumbrella (as it was known in the retrospective planning permission notice pinned to the lamp post outside). Service was fast and efficient, despite being crowded, and I found the Abbey Brewery Bellringer to be very drinkable, but as this was the first time I have had it you cannot take this as an expert view. As for it being an expensive tourist trap, yes there were a few of us tourists in, but at 6.00PM on a Saturday it was very busy with every table taken, so I guess several locals as well. It may well be expensive when considered against other pubs in Bath, but for a tourist from London it didn’t seem too bad. If you want to experience a real expensive tourist trap make sure you visit the Punch and Judy in Covent garden when next in the Smoke.. Gann - 28 Jan 2008 14:15 |

| Expensive tourist trap. Definately dont recommend as the beer is very overpriced. The only redeeming feature is its pub quiz. pubscouter - 18 Apr 2007 21:12 |
| Had a meal here last weekend. Without question the worse food I have ever eaten in the country (that includes Happy Eaters). We paid over £30 for two main courses which were Risotto and Pork Belly. The food arrived in under 5 mins and was disgusting. The riostto had been well over boiled and then meixed with cream so that it was more like baby food. The pork Belly was 70% fat and has been poached in a non-descript sauce and was served with powdered mash potato. I can only assume they let the dog cook that day. If we hadn't been with friends I would have refused to pay and I have never done that before. mitchelro - 20 Mar 2007 22:46 |
