| One pint of flat London Pride, two blokes playing darts and three blokes sat at the bar. Bit wide and lonely. Paulie_Tandoori - 9 Jan 2012 22:07 |
| A slightly alternative pub just a couple of minutes stroll away from the centre, but nonetheless a decent enough place. At the front is a small courtyard which you have to walk through to get to the bar, and behind this a pool room. The bar itself looks to be stuck in a bit of a time warp, and probably hasn’t changed much since the 70’s. Certainly the curtains look to be at least 30 years old! It’s clearly a bit of a music venue with various posters on the window advertising up and coming bands as well as numerous instruments adorning the interior – several violins and a large bass drum hanging from the ceiling, trumpets and an accordion above the bar, etc. The band/stage area is at the rear of the pub, along with a dart board. At the front is an old TV in one corner, a disused fireplace and a fruit machine adjacent to it. There are numerous photographs, old beer posters, etc. on the walls and interestingly a Jack Daniels pane of glass in the entrance door which I’ve not seen anywhere else. There was also a very retro computer game which must also be from the 70’s, although whether this was still working I’m not sure. There was a good mixture of age ranges present, and punters and landlady all seemed friendly enough. There was a very basic bar snack menu offered on lunchtimes only – a few omelettes, baguettes, and several variations on chips and beans – Cheesy Chips & Bacon; Double egg, chips & beans; Cheesy Chips, beans & bread etc. Beers on tap were Courage Best and London Pride. There was also a pump clip for Otter Ale although it appeared that this had run out. Ciders were Blackthorn, Strongbow & Thatcher’s Gold. Blackthorn - 13 Jun 2011 10:24 |
| called in on a Friday evening, rock band playing - and popular. Lively enjoyable atmosphere, with the biggest beer bellies in Somerset on parade! Andylk - 13 Oct 2010 21:13 |
| Good pub, good range of beer - always guest ales on. Gets busy when live music is on. I like it. mattbeer - 10 Aug 2008 18:39 |
| I can follow up on the last comment as I stayed in the B&B- sleep is easy - they are very strict about finishing the bands before 11pm and we slept just fine. I didnt meet any of these tattooed biker-types that the last review seemed to have met - maybe it depends on the music, but I did meet some really great friendly people there who put us in touch with what was going on that evening - I would definitely recommend it, especially as a relatively cheap place to stay in the centre of Bath. And its become my own escape from London bolt-hole - I love it! happy_heathen - 15 Jan 2008 11:03 |
