The George Inn, Bath

This is a real Tardis like pub, massively bigger on the inside than it appears from the outside. It's always been a great pub with the quintessential country pub feel to it. Lots of different rooms, some flag stones, plenty of wood beams, candles on the tables, etc. A really nice ambience. It's also right next to the Kennet & Avon canal, although it's a shame you can't really see it from the pub as it's up too high. A great place to stop for a pint though if you're out for a walk. There's a number of outside seating areas outside as well. Staff were polite rather than friendly, but they got the job done. There's an extensive food offering and lots of people seemed to be eating. A few beers on tap, albeit a slightly uninspiring selection - on this occasion they were Butcombe, Doom Bar, Bombadier, Old Speckled Hen and, according to the Blackboard, Gem, although there was no evidence of this on the bar. The only cider was Strongbow unfortunately.

This ought to be a great pub but it's picture postcard (literally) appearance on the canal side means that it is more of a tourist destination, especially in the summer. Pop in for a drink after your evening walk, or enjoy the excellent food, but don't expect a genuinely friendly welcome.
