The Ale House, Bath

This pub is on CAMRA's Regional Inventory of pubs with historic interiors, essentially due to the Victorian bar counter, and bar back with intricate columns. Unfortunately these have now been painted a horrible sort of violet colour in place of the natural wood that it used to be. As I recall there were four ales on, but unfortunately I failed to note them, possibly because this was the final (eighth) pub on crawl of Bath in which I was engaged. I didn't see any sign of food. The downstairs bar mentioned by Blackthorn is still there, but unfortunately closed during my late Saturday afternoon visit. There is also some more seating upstairs, but seems to be for the theatre that's up there. I thought that this was an OK pub. It's certainly not a destination pub, but was handily placed fairly near the station for a last pint before hurrying off to catch my train.
