Skogen, Bath

A Scandinavian-themed cafe bar, one of a chain of three - then name means 'The Forest' in Norwegian, run by a Norwegian team. The bar itself is on the ground floor, the toilets are in the cellar and there is more seating on the first floor. The bar counter runs along one wall and is primarily food-orientated, including cakes, pastries, pannini plus a menu of cooked food and an industrial coffee machine. There are a few tables for drinkers and diners, but no bar stools. The staff were welcoming and helpful, though we had to translate the Norwegian menu for the young English lad behind the bar. Beers were all 'craft' and dispensed from taps on the wall at one end. On tap were two of their own beers - Skogen Lysoel and Pils, plus Brennans Irish Stout, Bloody Nora IPA, Hawkstone Cider, Jubel Peach beer, A Tribe Called Fresh and Freedom Lager. The prices were also Scandinavian so I shouldn't make it my first port of call in future and it's not somewhere I'd include in a crawl.
