user reviews of the Bear Hotel, Chippenham

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

The Bear OK pub with a pretty standard selection of drinks, and is decorated reasonably well, its clean and well lit, however it has a strangely transitory feel about it, i.e it doesent seem to have regulars, it feels like a bar in a train station or airport , everyone is just passing through. The bar staff are OK , however service is not always all it could be.

Its location at the top of the market place is nice and it has a great facade and is quite imposing, but strangely small inside, and everyone now and then hosts small mobile discos , which are quite dated as a concept now, and should be quietly abandoned. The fact that it requires security at weekends is quite strange, its doesent seem like it would attract kids/yobs etc.

Reasonable hotel bar in an imposing building, the décor is half 18th century elegance, half modern bar. Usual kegs plus two handpumps, one serving Bath gem which was a bit on the thick side for my tastes, the other not in use. A mixture of comfy sofas, chairs and tables, and low tables with stools in several drinking areas. Large screens for sport and some games machines to entertain the younger customers. Sadly undertrained barstaff also available here.

Only 6X on the ale front when visited. Pub has strange handheld games devices on table to play if bored on your own which are quite novel, and u can talk to other pple in the pub using them! 6/10
