Known the Bath for 25 years and it is still one of the best pubs in a great city for beer and bars. I always seem to turn up there when it's very quiet, and I'm therefore worried about its viability (hope I'm wrong). So please read the accurate and useful reviews for the last 6 months and then go and give this excellent place your custom

Usually empty on my infrequent visits, but the pub is certainly worth a stop if you like traditional pubs with traditional beers alongside others not found elsewhere.
One side is a large room with a tiled floor whilst the other side comprises a cosy snug with gas fire.
Just off West Street and the supertram network, give it a try, just hope there somebody in when you visit .

Despite the “hotel” label, the Bath has the feel of a local’s back street pub rather than anything to do with tourism. It was last materially altered in the 1930’s and has earned a place on the CAMRA inventory for historic pub interiors. By rights the pub should not exist as, according to the pub history on display, the initial 1867 lease stipulated that the building must not be used as a pub or a beerhouse. Despite being granted a licence in the early 20th century, the lease and its covenant are still valid although I suspect not many people have found it necessary to enforce the rule.

The interior is divided 2 bars. The decent sized main bar has a striking chessboard tiled floor, brick chiney breasts, built in padded pews and a simplistic approach. A large personalized Bath Hotel mirror has pride of place on the wall and there is a darts area but no other distractions like TV’s, jukeboxes, pool tables etc although there appears to be a small but thriving music scene going by the flyers on the tables. A tiled lobby leads to a quaint but quite small, carpeted snug bar at the rear with a predominatly blue colour scheme its own small service hatch.

There were 5 hand pumps – 3 Ales, 1 Porter and a Scrumpy albeit my visit was some time ago and I made no notes other than one of them was Anchor Steam Beer. The lunchtime food was quite basic but very cheap and good for a quick snack. I could have happily spent more time there than I had available but would certainly look to seek the place out again next time I am in town even if it is a bit tucked away off the beaten track.

Unbelievable pub. When I walked in, I thought I was in a cross between the pubs in "Goodnight Sweetheart" and "Life On Mars" - absolutely superb. Fine choice of ales as excellent prices. I would recommend everyone to visit this place!!

Abbeydale Moonshine, Thorne Best Bitter, Sheffield Brewery Blanco Blonde, White Rose Buddha the Stout, Tetley (the) Bitter, bottle fridge with some belgian stylees (eg Chimay Blue, 9%, £3). Flat-iron style building with a U-ish shaped central bar running in contrary direction to outer design. Tiled floors throughout, low ceiling, mustard walls, main bar has windows either end & wood-backed leatherette settles surrounding the whole with accompanying tables & stools but an open area at the bar itself which features wood bar surround & large choice of whiskies. Smaller side room fairly plain but would be cosy in winter if that fireplace is functional. Sketchy notes (hic) suggest a stained glass window featuring ‘Bath Hotel’, & a dartboard without oche (occasional use?). The walls carried a couple of splendid prints of blues musos; shame they were for sale rather than permanent for the pub. There was a good local feel to the place, a comfortable chatty atmosphere & end-of-day crossword comparisons in swing around the bar. Another good one for the lucky burghers of Sheffield. Seems Quinno was not using the tram (dayrider £3), which has stops nearby at West St stn & Univ of Sheff stn.
