| A decent sized pub just a few yards away from the top of Bath�s premier shopping street, it�s nonetheless sufficiently away from the main tourist drag that it doesn�t get quite as rammed on a Saturday afternoon as many of it�s city centre compatriots. It�s a little tricky to get in two with the two most prominent doors being closed off � instead you have to walk around the corner and up and alleyway before you manage to find the entrance. The main part of the pub is split in to three area � two rooms down a few steps and facing out on to the high pavement, whilst a smaller room at the other end houses the bar counter. Decor is predominantly wood, with rough bare boards and several partitions to break up the front rooms in to booths. Paintwork is a very pale shade of green, and there were a plethora of small wooden stools around � far more than would have fitted at the available tables I would have thought. There was also some wooden bench seating around the perimeter as well as a few metal tables and chairs outside, although on a recent January afternoon it was to mind a few degrees to cold inside the pub, never mind sitting outside. Downstairs is apparently a cellar bar, although we did not investigate this. Numerous posters on the walls advertised up and coming bands, and it would seem that this is something of a music venue, as well as having an open mic night on Tuesdays. There was a projector and screen in one corner, but this was retracted out of sight on a recent visit. This is apparently Bath�s only vegetarian pub, although we didn�t check the menu to see what it consisted of. There were a few tapas dishes chalked up on a board above the bar. Beers on tap were Doom Bar and Spa. There was a third pump at the bar, but this appeared to have recently run out. The solitary cider was Stowford Press. Blackthorn - 30 Jan 2012 18:58 |
| Popped in for two of their meal deals, what a bargain. �5 for a plate of food and a half (Doombar for me). Food as tremendously tasty, nice to eat somewhere veggie, staff and customers were all very pleasant as well. Couple of other ales on tap and lots of music/social things happening which my boy was quite interested in. Paulie_Tandoori - 9 Jan 2012 21:56 |
| I was very disappointed with this pub. It seems they do not really have to make an effort either with customer service as they are guaranteed a good turnover of tourists who will never be back. Don't be fooled by the sign outside advertising lunch for �5 - once we enquired at the bar we discovered that this only applies Mon-Fri. But they didn't bother to take the advert down on the weekend. They didn't have many of the meals on the menu available (even 'Specials' which seems strange). When we were informed that mash wasn't available for the �Pie and mash�, they grudgingly accepted our request for chips instead. When the meals arrived, there were no tortilla chips with the chilli. When asked about the tortilla chips, the barmaid simply stated that none were available and walked away. There was no offer of any alternative. To add insult, the one of the barmaids proceeded to smoke on one of the outside tables close to where we were sitting and eating. Overall, a thoroughly unpleasant experience. Best avoided. richjcbarker - 24 Aug 2010 09:24 |
