Nothing says Great Britain like a traditional pub. Good food, good drink and a good atmosphere. Importantly, somewhere you can spend quality time with your friends and family. And if you live in or around Bath, you’re in luck!

As well as being a UNESCO World Heritage Site (yes, really) and one of the world’s top spa destinations (yes, really!), this incredible city is packed full of pubs serving both fantastic ale and scrumptious food.

Here’s our top picks for anyone looking for one of these fine watering holes…

The Canon

Some would say this is one of the city’s most popular drinking spots, and we can see why. Not only do they serve up a wide range of food from their classic pub menu, they have a great vegan selection and serve some brilliant ale. Pay them a visit!

The Cork

Partial to an outdoor terrace? You’re not the only one. And, if you are, this might be the place for you! Famous for their burgers, as well as their beer, these guys also serve a decent array of cocktails. All of which you can enjoy on the terrace, in the sun. What’s not to love?

The Bell Inn

Somehow it feels only right that we give this place a mention. Having been bought out by the local community in 2013, this simple watering hole has become a bit of an institution. They have a wide range of beers on tap and offer live music most nights. Very often, simple really is best!

The Grapes

What a name, and what a building. This beautiful venue is set in a Grade II listed building (something Bath is famous for) and has been serving since 1972. That’s a lot of time in business and, as you may expect, it means you’ll be in good, experienced hands!

The Royal Hotel, Bath

Ok, so it may not be a traditional pub, but we have a cracking bar here at The Royal Hotel, Bath. We offer a wide range of wines, lagers, real ales and cocktails – so there’s something for everyone. We’d love to see you! We’re on Manvers Street, Bath, and you can give us a call on 01225 463 134 if you want to know more.
