Nothing much to add to the previous reviews the beer choice the same as JAQPTIO found in May last year. Nothing much has changed in the 15 or so years I’ve been visiting this unspoiled pub with its deco style in the main bar and small front snug. One change, slightly unwelcome to this dinosaur is the revamp of the toilets to unisex versions. Never mind that, the beer’s still good.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Bath Hotel
Well preserved two-room pub with quite a plain but attractive heritage interior. The larger bar at the back benefits from lighter woodwork whereas the lounge snug in the angled corner (with a serving hatch) has darker furniture and decoration, with decorative glazing in both parts. On this long-overdue revisit, I found six real ales on handpump: Acorn Barnsley Bitter (£3.80), Bothy from Zapato, Abbeydale Deception, Bradfield Plum Bitter, Titanic Plum Porter and Thornbridge's Jaipur. It is a bit surprising that this traditional pub has maintained its character intact without being 'done up' (or 'done over', as so often seems to happen), and also quite unusual to have retained such a place this close to a main city street, but definitely recommended.

Thornbridge Brewery have given up their lease after 10 years, and the owner of the pub, Brian Johnson, has taken charge of running it again. (It was he who won the award for the sensitive restoration of the heritage interior more than 20 years ago.) The pub reopened last Friday, though there's still a bit of redecoration to do, including hanging some curtains, which Thornbridge evidently thought were unimportant, but Brian agrees with me that they improve the look, the ambience and the acoustics. Six hand pumps at present, with one cider and five beers, including Acorn Barnsley Bitter, Thornbridge Jaipur and a couple from local Bradfield Brewery, plus a number of keg beers and lagers.

A nice looking pub that hasn't been tampered with to any great extent, owned by Thornbridge it was no suprise to find that the three beers available from the six handbumps were by the brewer, Lord Marples, Brother Rabbit and Crackendale, the later being in excellent shape.
A great pub to finish my three day stay in Sheffield on.

This old unspoilt two room pub has been more than well described below. I got here early on a Friday lunchtime when the six beers were as listed below. I went for the Thornbridge Chiron (£3.60) about which I had doubts over the quality although it was nowhere near the sending it back stage. I then went for the keg Jaipur (£4.40) which again was OK but I've had better. It might have been the recent hot weather at the time but I also noticed that one of the casks was quite cloudy. It's an excellent old pub but for me there was a question mark over beer quality.

A Grade II-listed pub built in 1867 but with a CAMRA Nationally Important Historic Interior, remodelled by Ind Coope in 1931, this is a fine flat-ended wedge-shaped pub with the name picked out in leaded lights to the ground floor windows and is well described below. It's also a Thornbridge pub, so no surprises in store for the London contingent on our crawl, which meant that I wasn't going to make the twin mistakes of ordering Astryd which I'd tried a couple of days earlier and found it not to my taste, not to mention the dreadful Wye; my half of Lord Marples was fine and tasted all the better for costing just £1.60.
Definitely one to include on a crawl of the city.

Another of Sheffield’s fine heritage pubs which is listed in CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. We entered from Victoria Street into, and stayed for the duration, in the tiled floor main bar with its leaded windows and bar with glass screenwork above, but I did venture along the back corridor with its still in place tiling and drinking shelf to take a look at the smaller more comfortable snug on the other side of the servery, which was the former smoke room after Ind Coopes 1931 remodelling.
The six ales available were as described below and I went for the Thornbridge Astryd which was very good especially also for a Londoner at a very wallet pleasing £3.10 a pint.
Deservedly one of Sheffield’s top pubs

Bucking Fastard left this review about Bath Hotel
A wedge shaped building with a very impressive interior,beautifully preserved and worthy of close inspection.It's quite small and you enter into the tap room with the bar front tiled in brown.There is then a glazed tiled drinking corridor with bar access before arriving at the rear snug,also with bar access.
With it's association with Thornbridge brewery,you will always find some of their beers on in here,on my trip that meant Astryd,Lord Marples and a very good Chiron,while the selection was completed by Nightjar Born Slippy,Great Heck Navigator and Dead Parrott Norwegian Blue.That's a very decent line up and with such a calm drinking atmosphere my next trip will be much longer than this brief crawl visit.

Called in to show a friend from Texas a good inventory pub. It has been well described below, and we enjoyed Neepsend Brew Co NPA and a Thornbridge Keg beer Colorado Red.

This is a traditional wedge shaped pub on a road junction just off West Street and close to the University.
It features two interconnecting bars, a lounge bar with a tiled floor, leaded windows and a bar servery with glass screenwork above, and a smaller more comfortable snug.
The pub is listed in CAMRA’s National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors
On the wall by the bar servery is an interesting account of the pub’s history, from which we learn that it was once a grocers shop. Previous owners, after the building became a pub, included Ind Coope and Tetleys.
It is pleasing that a pub like this, so close to the University and student areas has largely retained its unspoilt and old fashioned air.
Thornbridge Brewery have now taken over the running of this pub and, although the branding is relatively discreet, we do see the Thornbridge logo outside together with their mantra “ Innovation, Passion, Knowledge”
There’s 6 handpumps inside, of which, on my recent Monday lunchtime visit, 3 were for Thornbridge beers – Kipling, Wild Swan and Sequia – and 3 guest beers, which were one from Summer Wine Brewery ( Diablo IPA ) and 2 from Stringers in Lakeland. Detailed tasting notes are provided on a blackboard by the bar counter, from which we also learn that it will be the pub’s policy to offer an approximate 50:50 split of the beer range between Thornbridge beers and other guests, which was certainly the case on my Monday visit. My pint of Wild Swan - £ 2.60p – was less distinctive than I’ve previously had elsewhere ( eg Sheffield Tap ) , but I’ll put this down as a one off
The pub was very quiet on my visit – I was virtually the only person in during most of my shortish stay - perhaps, because, there was no evidence of any food offered, unlike on my earlier visit under the previous management, when, if I recollect correctly, there was a basic selection of toasties, paninis, pork pies etc available.
This pub is worth seeking out when in the University area of the city
