The 30 Best Bar pub in Bath

“Fantastic tour!! A must do in Bath!! Ed our guide was knowledgeable and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the food establishments we went to were top notch!! Definitely worth doing every visit to Bath!”

“Really cozy pub with friendly welcoming bar staff. Lovely with the log fire on after a walk through Lansdown . I can highly recommend the loaded charcuterie & cheese board as well.”

“very positive experience of today's breakfast at turtle bay. The breakfast I chose was delicious. I also had the opportunity to meet the head chef, for which I am very grateful. full professionalism, overall very nice service! I recommend.”

“Well worth a good detour to get here. We had a mojito, a bramble and a bakewell from their cocktail list. No scrimping on the rum, a very good free pured measure and all the extra garnishs and show with it, it was busy but that is to be expected with a propper cocktail making, it isnt quick and is well worth it.”

“Pretty decent food for a good price, I had a milkshake and burger. The chips were fantastic and so was the milkshake! The burger was decent too. The main takeaway from eating here was the atmosphere was really quite nice in my opinion. It was busy and the decor was awesome! The service was decent but the kitchen is quite small so food did take some time to come out. But if your not in a rush its worth a visit.”

“Absolutely would highly recommend this place! The restaurant is stunning - don't let the exterior fool you, as it's gorgeous inside. The staff are lovely, and the food is truly amazing. Just a heads up for anyone with mobility issues: the steps down to the restaurant are quite steep. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish!”

“Wow Wow Wow. Fantastic! We were in the Bath for the weekend and thought we'd try Pintxo out as we'd walked past before on previous visits and we hadn't booked any food for the weekend - not knowing what to expect from the Christmas markets. On arrival we spent around 15 mins sat at the bar waiting for a table (soaking in the top notch atmosphere) after hanging our coats up, ordered our drinks and were promptly seated once a table became available. The food was simply fantastic, it was soooo tasty! The Deep Fried Aubergines were out of this world, the portions were great and the staff were very friendly and very attentive to clear room when we had finished plates. We will certainly be back on our next visit to Bath, one of the best Tapas we've had outside of Spain (and even including!).”

“Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good selection of drinks. Prices competitive with other local bars. Now starting a new food venture. Tapas. Really well presented and exceedingly tasty. I mean it's pretty perfect. Recommended.”

“I don’t normally leave reviews but wanted to recognise the excellence of the team at No.15 in hosting a special birthday dinner for my wife and 12 friends. The service was impeccable - attentive but discrete, and the food of excellent quality. The private dining room has a large single table and high ceilings and was perfect for dinner parties. Lucy was also great with the booking - thank you all.”

“Gab the manager was a great host. Looked after us so well. And his brother behind the bar makes class cocktails.”

“The atmosphere was amazing here! the drinks were lovely and so cheap if your a student definitely go here! get cocktails for five pound! andrew, harry and meg were the bartenders and they were so friendly and made our experience here so much better! 5/5 would definitely recommend!!”

“We visited Square Grill in Bath and had a fantastic experience! The ambience was amazing, giving off a royal and elegant vibe. The food and drinks were delicious, and the service was top-notch—very friendly and attentive staff. The location is perfect, right opposite the Roman Baths Museum, making it a great stop during your visit to the city. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a classy dining experience in Bath!”

“Beautiful Christmas dinner. Food excellent, great vegetarian choices. Very friendly and efficient staff.”

“Cosy local pub with very friendly staff. We enjoyed the food, and can highly recommend the fish and chips. Everything felt home made. Recommended”

“I absolutely love this pub's Sunday roasts. They are to die for. Today's chicken roast was cooked absolutely perfectly. The chicken was moist, came apart well, the seasonings are delightful and the veg to go with it still had that nice fresh veg crunch to it. Also, they have a bearded dragon so that's kinda cool.”

“1. Flavour & Menu Variety Many reviews praise the food. Tapas / street-food style small plates get good marks (e.g. Szechwan Cauliflower, Manchurian Chicken, Pani Puri) for being flavourful and different from standard curry house fare. 2. Service & Staff Generally, people find the staff friendly, helpful, attentive. Good customer service appears frequently in reviews. 3. Atmosphere & Cocktail Deals The restaurant has a relaxed but stylish vibe. Cocktails are often mentioned as a highlight, especially the “2 for £10” offer. It’s seen as a good place to relax with friends. 4. Vegetarian/Vegan Options / Dietary Flexibility Plenty of small plates that are vegetarian or vegan. Reviewers say there are good options for different dietary requirements.”

“Very good meal, lovely service. While a chain it looks and feels much more like an independent restaurant compared to most high street restaurant chains, good sized portions. Not too busy/noisy for comfort. Much better than expected.”

“A fantastic find very close to Bath centre but far away enough... I love this place, it had the local feel with a welcome that was unassuming. The beer we had was Stone Daisy, very tasty and well worth the £4.95 let’s face it it’s in the city so not bad! Food was very good and the price was very reasonable, surprisingly (and I compare pubs) fish and chips £16 in comparison to 18 - 20 so see the comparison. I had the Tagliatelle (chicken) fantastic and exactly what you would expect, the wifee, pie and raved about the mash , turns out it’s all home made so very happy £34 ish for food which we looked at the desert but will have to return. The important bits are Staff really friendly and on the ball. Dog friendly, perfect! Pub was spotless and looked great. On the whole I would recommend a fantastic find. Revisit last night, we all enjoyed the food and drinks, desert was the best thank you!”

“Booked in for Sunday roast which I can honestly say was the best roast I've had for a long time. So many pubs do roast very average but this was way above that. Everything was cooked lovely and the service was great. Well worth a visit and we'll definitely be back.”

“Fab stay - rooms beautifully decorated and clean. Locations right in the middle of town and easy to find. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. Breakfast was great value and loved the little details like the pillow spray in the room. Would definitely stay again.”

“We recently had a wonderful stay at The Bath Priory Hotel whilst visiting our eldest at University. The location was perfect — peaceful yet only a short walk into town. Our room was spacious and luxurious, with views of the beautiful gardens. Breakfast was delicious, though service was a little on the slow side unfortunately. A special mention to the gardener, who truly made our stay memorable. She took the time to show us around parts of the garden, shared her incredible knowledge, helped carry our bags to the car, and even picked a few flowers for my husband and I as we left. Such a thoughtful gesture — we’ll never forget. We both said how refreshing it was to meet such a kind & enthusiastic young person. The facilities at the Spa were well maintained, creating a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. A perfect place to unwind — we look forward to coming back again.”

“Absolutely gorgeous! Big salads, rose prosecco just what we needed! Stunning views, will definitely be returning!”

“This was my first time visiting Bath, and I found this restaurant while researching the town, no disappointment at all! The food was amazing, and the service was spot on. I’d recommend the courgette, it might look like a regular zucchini in the photo, but trust me, it’s incredible! Another favorite of mine was the crispy pork belly. The black beans were a little salty for me, but they pair perfectly with the pork, which was cooked to perfection. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Bath!”

“We had a lovely evening at Cote. Cote has a really relaxed atmosphere. It was great to be able to have a conversation without too much noise. And it was well lit unlike some restaurants where you can’t read the menu with ease. The food was amazing cooked to perfection with a just right portion size. I had the vegan options which there were lots to choose from. The food arrived really quickly as well. The staff were very friendly and efficient too.”

“Family lunch for four; incredible pizza and the best cheeseburger I've had! Ever. Amazing value and friendly staff. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming during the daytime; will definitely return next time in Bath.”

“One of the best Ivy locations in the UK—not just in terms of ambience, but also because the quality of food is spot-on. The service is impeccable, and the restaurant is right in the heart of Bath city centre. It’s buzzing throughout the day, and whenever you walk in, it’s always busy. Every time I’m in Bath, I make sure to have at least one meal here. Reservations aren’t required in the mornings, even on weekends. Breakfast is served until 11 am on weekends and until 11:30 am on weekdays, with an excellent English breakfast available.”

“Been here several times. Solid pint prices (£5 for a thatchers) especially for a pub near the town center. Would happily come again especially when the folk music is on”

“Great prices! £8 cocktails and £5 for students! Lovely atmosphere, music and a variety of cocktails to choose from. I got to try some flavours that I haven’t heard of before. Will be coming here again very soon! :)”

“Had the Sunday Sharing Platter of three meats. Possibly wouldn’t have if we knew it involved 45 minutes wait. But really great when it came. Cold by the time we finished as the air conditioner was super happy. Staff decent, but a warning of the impending delay would have helped. We could have stood outside. Took a chunk home for my rescue python. Don’t ask. All the best team Miller and Carter.”

“Met up with family to celebrate our son's birthday. The waiting staff girls were really friendly. We ate fairly early (6pm). The tables were spaced far enough apart to make it seem intimate. Lovely atmosphere in The Crown and the food was delicious and nicely presented. Good choice of beers.”
