Wasn't expecting much but this is a classic example of chancing your arm. Recently refurbished and re-opened, it's a cosy pub which whilst modern and clean has kept a fairly upmarket traditional feel and local customers. Blue and off-white colour scheme with dark wood furnishings and a solid-looking bar with foot railing. Tastefully decorated, with a couple of screens for sport showing muted motor racing, otherwise it was classic Indie on the speakers. Stars of the show were at the bar, a proactive and engaging barmaid who made a point of saying hello and acknowledging me with a smile despite serving someone else. Just one cask, but a superb Dark Star Hophead (NBSS 4.5) which goes to show it's about quality not quantity. I stayed for a second.

Well described by others below, it’s a good local pub which hasn’t been ruined by the tourist trade. Only one ale on, St Austell Trinity, but it was in good condition and enjoyed in convivial surroundings. There was also a Lilley’s cider on draft. I quite like it here so am likely to return, and I’d include on a crawl.

An unpretentious locals' pub - something of a relief from touristy Bath. The front room with a compact bar opens into two areas - a 'library effect' part with a carpet, and a raised area with darts and sports screens. Outside were a few tables on the pavement, and a large hole where a utility company seemed determined to prevent access to the pub. Cabaret was provided by the locals (some interpretation needed but they seemed happy). The handpump was badged as St Austell Trinity, whatever that is but it was nice enough. No great place to look at but a bonus score for feeling like a proper pub.

An attractive looking pub and very inviting looking when making our way back to the train station. The pub is well kept and had a new pool table near the bar area. Nothing to write home about beerwise, two handpumps dispensing Bellringer and two pumps with Doombar. They must have got extra pumpclips and put them on their empty pumps.

Refurbished since my previous review, this now has a slightly more contemporary feel but nonetheless is still very much a traditional pub. It’s split in to three areas and there are usually a few tables and chairs on the pavement outside which is a pleasant enough spot overlooking the square.
The front area of the pub houses the bar counter, and two areas at the rear are given over to a pool table on the upper level and next to this a more traditional room with the air of an old drawing room thanks to it’s dark wooden bookshelves, flock wallpaper and old fireplace. Flooring is a mixture of light wood at the front and tartan carpet whilst the walls are a mixture of cream paintwork with khaki green painted wood panelling below. A number of old local photo’s were on the walls.
There were a couple of plasmas around, one next to the pool table which was fair enough, but the one in the “drawing room” seemed a little out of place. They were playing a music channel, and whilst the volume at the front of the pub was quite reasonable, we initially made the mistake of sitting right under one as this was the only free table. This was far too loud, especially considering there was a nappy advert on at the time which wasn’t really conducive to me drinking my pint.
The two beers on tap were both from Abbey Ales with their Bellringer and White Friar. There was a third pump for Doom Bar but this appeared to have run out. The solitary cider was Thatcher’s Gold.

Decent enough boozer with a friendly landlord. Essentialy just one bar, but with a raised area conatining a pool table and darts board. Traditional pub interior with wood/glass shelving above the bar. Lots of flags hanging from the ceiling. Doesn't appear to be much in the way of food although they do offer all day pizza's.
Spitfire and Butcombe Gold on tap, plus Blackthorn and Addlestone's cider.
