 | Bath Bars & Pubs Reviews | 1 - 10 of 20 |  |
Bath, I read, is the real ale capital of Britain*. Real Ale (for foreign readers) is traditional beer, as opposed to the fizzy industrialised dishwater now served in most establishments. You don't have to (stereotype alert) have a beard, a woolly jumper, and listen to folk music to enjoy it; just an interest in drinking something a bit more flavoursome. There are a wide variety of types though nearly all are darker beers (ranging from golden to tar-like). If you are not used to them, probably best sampled by the half-pint.
There are certainly plenty of places in Bath to do this, with two locally-based breweries (Bath Ales and Abbey Ales) featured widely, and many others from all over Britain. Also some ciders (though not as many as I expected).
You can see more drinking choices (not all real ale) at the Bath Pubs website.
The final picture is perhaps the most amiable of the pubs I was in (and I sampled quite a few), The Old Green Tree. If you have done the same, this is the view you would see ;-) The blur behind the bar is the landlord; out of shot to the left was Lincolnshire's only commercial cider maker.
*I don't know if there is an 'official' measure of this, but I can certainly believe it. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

 Pig & Fiddle, Bath by suvanki
Selection of Real Ales, and extensive menu including a variety of burgers made from kangaroo, ostrich meat etc!
Inside are different rooms, with plenty of tables/seating in cosy corners.
Sporting paraphanelia adourns the walls.
Heated outside seating area.
to be continued
At lunchtime clientele appeared to be a mix of office workers and professionals, students and a few tourists.
Therefore mix of casual/ suits etc.
Relaxed atmosphere, should imagine same mix at night time. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

 The Salamander by Airpunk
The pub is located close to Queen's square, between the Circus and the pedestrian zone. It was not crowded like a couple of other pubs I saw in Bath, but still had a large number of visitors. Compared to other pubs, it seemed to me like a more relaxing place to have a couple of drinks at the end of the day, rather than to make a big party. I had two organic lagers and sat down to read my book before going back to my hostel to go sleeping.

The place has since changed its name to Belushi's, but is pretty much the same as before. The hostel above the bar is still called St. Christopher's so I've kept the tip with the same name. Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: 9 Green St Bath

If the rugby is taking place in the Rec nearby this place will be heaving on game day. If you want to enjoy the rugby crowd come here. If you want a quieter time head to the other side of the town Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: 9 Argyle St, Bath
