   Honestly one of the best pubs in Bath! I would 100% recommend it to all new students, especially if you’ve just moved here. Simon is amazing and always makes everyone feel so welcome. Me and my friend, we’re both Indian girls, have been coming here almost every week for nearly a year during our course in Bath and we’ve always felt completely safe and comfortable. The place just has such a warm and friendly vibe, it really feels like home. My absolute favourite is the Guinness, so please don’t forget to try that when you visit! Couldn’t recommend this pub enough.

   Vollys has been me and my friends go-to pub for over a year now. There is no other pub in Bath which is more welcoming. Simon is the sweetest man who has made sure that every person felt safe and respected in the space. He actually organised a Bollywood night for us Indians as our academic year was coming to an end and it was a blast!!! The place and it’s people are the closest to us in the UK and definitely worth a visit!!!

   Popped into the Volunteer for a pint. Stayed for four hours! Barman was excellent - lots of good stories, very friendly and a food laugh. Selection of beer was good, selection of spirits was even better. The rums were great, rhe coffee tequila will.libe long in the memory (or the hangover will). Pop in for a drink, stay for a while..!

   Really nice old school pub in the heart of Bath. Friendly barman and a good selection of beers and ciders. I sampled the interestingly titled Black Rat cider, which was very good. Food available upstairs during the day but didn't try this out. Some outdoor seating for those rare occasions when it's not raining! Good sound system playing blues rock. Not everyone's cup of tea but ok as background music.

   Stumbled across this traditional, proper, English pub and what a refreshing change to a more modern boozer. A wide range of spirits, especially the rum selection. The barman was of a rare breed, where he looked after his customer's needs and was an ear for anyone with troubles or tales to tell. The owner/landlord was a character you rarely see nowadays. Buy him a shot and make a friend. The music, classic British. The decor classic British. With pictures of spitfires, British forces and Nigel Farage what more can you ask for. Oh, and beer is great. Try the black rat for cider lovers. Hope to stumble across it again soon. Cheers for the beers.

   Great little pub with a comedian behind the tap. He was able to poor a perfect pint even though he couldn't reach the tap without a stool and his eyes were so crossed I'm sure he couldn't see beyond his nose. Highly recommended. Wonderful pub! Cheers to employing the special people.

   Lovely, small, inviting back Street pub. Great decorations, with a military theme, as well as rugby, and a character of a landlord, all made us feel very welcome. My wife had coffee, I had a 0.0% Peroni, and we shared a pork scratching or two. Lots of friendly banter, and the pub had a family feel to it. We sat in the window and watched the world go by, and as we probably won't be revisiting as only in Bath for two days, the next decent thing to do was leave a positive review. I loved it here, and I could spend hours whiling time away, enjoying being in a traditional boozer. Good selection of beers, ciders and spirits, and although we didn't eat the food hygiene rating was top (5) and a good selection of dishes was available. Keep up the good work guys, we'll be back sometime in the future!
