   Decent boozer, close to Sydney Gardens, with choice of ales and ciders and some comfy furniture for those who prefer sofas as well as more conventional tables and chairs. Decorated with antique advertising posters.

   A stone's-throw from Sydney Gdns & Holborn Museum is a quaint li'l pub with a cosy, "home"-ly feel, if a tad dark (decor in dark red). Has a decent pool table! Some great open-air outdoor seating in the rear (off-street). No immediate parking, but at the other end of the lane (outside the Pultrney Arms pub!) there are spaces along that road. Drink selection: pretty good. Service: friendly. Atmosphere: varies through the week & time of day, nothing bad, never "rowdy", can get a bit animated when busy,.. They have a big screen, too!!! ..and a "lounge" area, with sofas!! Overall, a comfy place for a pint, bar snacks, & a game of pool. No frills.

   This must be Baths most miserable pub..the landlord is shocking..can't be bothered to be pleasant..the customer are all very sad people..un loved men...mainly I assume gay fellows all in their sixties..nothing moves..silence prevails..we went there as cyclists...and felt very uncomfortable..what an odd place...

   Really nice little pub, very clean and tidy, decent choice of bar snacks, drinks on tap or in bottles, pool table and dart board with an outside seating area that's well taken care of. Barmaid was very welcoming too, thank you.

   Crikey, it's bad. Completely dead at 5pm on a Thursday (having just come from the Pulteney Arms down the road which was doing a roaring trade) with just a few silent saddos drowning their sorrows at the bar whilst staring at their screens. Even the barman was watching a film on his iPad when we came in! The whole place looks tired and smells damp and old and there was an almost comic leak coming from above the door in about five places. It's clear no investment has been made for many years. I can't believe pubs this bad still exist, especially in such a desirable location! One to avoid.
