Never been in there, but it strikes me as the sort of place where they'd have those pictures of the wall of dogs playing snooker

I like it. Nice quiet little place, although I haven't been in there for a while. The snug is nice anyhow.

Used to be a cracking boozer, until they turned it into one of those dreadful, formulaic Ember Inns, where the ornaments are stcu to the shelves on the Ikea wall units. I want chintz and stained seats.

The Volunteer Riflemans Arms, Bath
I'll agree with the commnts on the staff and the customers. Last time I went there, I was accosted by some rough looking bulletheads, and the barmaid was well surly.
The only thing of note is that they have candles on the tables in the evening, which I burnt my hair on after a few too many baby chams

Once you get in there, you'll never leave, as you'll stick to the floor, the bit that's not crowded with broken glass anyway.

The toilets smell of farts, as does the beer. Wouldn't touch with someone else's barge pole.

Yet another faceless chain pub with no music, no atmosphere, no locals and no community spirit. A beautiful location, but spoilt by (No) Brains. Could do better.

Once a great biker pub, with the best juke box in town, the Raven, in its former incarnation as Hatchetts, was a real old fashioned boozer of the highest order, but is now just another ten a penny city centre bar. Nice idea to do pie and mash, but at least make your pastry crispy. Too much microwave, me thinks. However, good beer is still there and reasonable wines.

If you are under 16, it's the place to be. Last time one of us was there, there were some Vicky Pollards fighting in the corner. Charming.

Lovely traditional pub, but unfortunately staffed by sausage rolls.

This pub died many years ago.
RIP.
Please widen the Lower Bristol Road, and send this pub to the big brewery in the sky.
Family flowers only.

Has been mistaken for a public convenience on many an occasion, and if you go inside, it looks very much the same. A great pub for a pint and a fight.

If this pub was a country, it'd be Sweden. Nothing particularly remarkable about it, but nothing bad either. Like a Volvo, it's safe, sound, economical and reliable.

Fab garden, tucked away from leering passers by. It must be good because the Red Cross featured it in their Open Gardens Scheme for the UK in 2005.

Ok, if you don't mind being seated amongst sandal wearing, beard toting real ale drinkers, or so-called middle-class pinkos, who would feel more at home in a poncey wine bar, but come here thinking that it's a "real" local. In our opinion, it's near been anywhere near as good since Barry and Elaine left. (He did cook for the Queen, you know!!)
A pleasant spot for a summer afternoon's drinking, but perhaps doesn't live up to its reputation, and for value for money, there are far better choices in the vicinity, with more charming gardens and staff.

One of the best kept secrets in Bath. Lovely, friendly clientele, you are just as likely to meet suits as bikers and the occasional lost and lonely soul! Fantastic home cooked food, and the Sunday roasts are arguably the best value in Bath. If a good, traditional boozer is what you are looking for, you'll be hard pushed to find better than the Park Tavern.
