Conveniently located directly opposite the station, this consists of two bars with quite different characters. The smaller bar along to the right has more of a public bar feel to it, with a plasma on the wall showing the football and a group of guys whose language left something to be desired. By 9:00pm it seemed to have closed as the shutters were down on the bar.

The larger and more prominent bar on the corner has more of a hotel lounge feel to it, and offers little in the way of any character but it’s not unpleasant and would no doubt suit some people. It’s quite contemporary, and I daresay recently refurbished with pine wooden flooring, suede armchairs, beige paintwork, pictures on the walls and a trendy backdrop to the bar with a display of wine bottles and coloured down-lighters. Behind this is a dining room.

Beers on tap were Abbey’s Bellringer and Greene King IPA. Ciders were Aspall’s Suffolk and Thatcher’s Gold.

The most obvious spot just outside of Bath train station, this Hotel is also a bar and will welcome customers who are just stopping by. Walked in one day, and the man at the bar was friendly in offering I buy a drink. They showed Sky Sports on the tv. Certainly a sports bar, but somewhere to pass the time as well. Hobgoblin was the main ale on tap. I recommend this as somewhere to spend an hour or so.

Expensive, no atmosphere, but when your train is delayed by 30 mins (a common occurence!) it comes in useful. Or you could sit with the drunks on the church steps by the homeless hostel and have a swig of their sherry or white ligntning!

Just opposite the station so cannot argue with the location. Has the feel of a 1980'2 Holiday camp, so a little on the old fashioned side. Fair play though, they showed the FA Cup Final and selection of beers not too bad.

More of a hotel bar than a pub with a hotel attached. Can’t really recommend it over Bath’s other excellent pubs but handy for a last pint before getting the train if you’ve got 15 minutes to spare.
