This pub's place in the current Good Beer Guide encouraged me to make it my final pub before catching my train home, as it is also a very easy walk from Bath Spa station. I wondered if I'd made a mistake when I saw every table full at around 6pm on a Tuesday, and an atmosphere and ambience that suggested this was a food led tourist pub. Closer examination showed that many tables were in fact occupied by drinkers, and when I tasted the quality of my half of Fullers ESB, I knew I'd come to the right place after all. From my place close to the bar I observed someone else going for the ESB, and as he was having to wait while the new barrel of London Pride was pulled through for his friend, I took the opportunity to ask if the beer was always this good. He took a first sip from his pint and confirmed that it was indeed always this good. In fact, he told me, he always drank this beer in this pub, and when he came in with his missus they were called Mr & Mrs ESB.

The Crystal Palace is a Fuller's pub very close to the Baths and the Abbey. Indeed, 4 of the other customers here were about to attend a wedding at the Abbey. Quite a few of the other customers were tourists. The bar staff needed to have exceptional amounts of patience to deal with some of them.

There are a couple of rooms inside, with a covered area and garden to the rear of the pub. The two rooms inside are a public bar and a much more formal dining area. All customers were either in the bar or the outdoor areas at the rear.

London Pride & ESB are the regular ales, with the other 2 handpulls occupied by Oliver's Island & Harry's Dirty Harry Raspberry & Blackcurrant Cider. Halves of the Oliver's Island and the cider came to £5.90.

The young owner seemed fairly down to earth and was chatting with a local. It seemed they were moving back to London over the weekend to Bromley. We presumed to take over another Fuller's pub.

Compared with the Huntsman, the other Fuller's pub a stone's throw away, I marginally preferred the Crystal Palace, but there's not too much to choose between them.

A little away from the madding crowds, this is a three roomed upmarket Fuller's house in an attractive square by the abbey. It's done with a touch of class; boxed wood panelling comfy seats and retained glasswork on the rear extension. Four cask advertised though my choice was deemed as not ready, so a pretty good (NBSS 3.5) Pride with polite service was my lot. Beware that you’ll be paying a consecutive price combo uplift of it being a) Fuller’s and b) central Bath. A decent place, I could have stayed for a second on a different day. GBG’23 listed. 7.5
