Circo Bar & Lounge (Halcyon Hotel), Bath

Very much a trendy champagne/cocktail bar rather than your traditional pub, this is located underneath one of the boutique hotels in Bath and is unlikely to be of interest to the majority of regulars on this site. It’s got a contemporary modern interior, with wood flooring and a back wall covered in mirrored tiles. Paintwork is cream, as is the large, semi-circular bar. A number of wicker chairs looked to me to be more a case of style over substance, but I didn’t try them myself. Nonetheless, there’s a decent amount of seating on the wide pavement at street level, and this is a pleasant enough spot with views of the church and the hills beyond Bath. Whilst there were several pages of cocktails at around £8 a go, and a bucket full of champagne bottles on the bar, there were unfortunately no ales on, real or otherwise, and no ciders either. The sole choice of draft drinks was limited to lager. As I said, unlikely to be of much interest to the regulars here.
