Called in again on Friday and managed to get a seat in the back snug. I had a pint of Neanderthal from Toad brewery in Doncaster which was very good as usual. Roger decribes the pub very well and I haven't anything to add except to say this is a fine pub and is well worth seeking out, it's only a short stroll from the Devonshire Cat or The Red Deer. Sad to report that the recommended Que-Tal Mexican is now a Turkish restaurant. The nearby K-Passa Mexican/Spanish is very good though, I suspect it led to the other ones downfall.

Don’t be put off by the “hotel” label; the Bath is very much a back street local’s pub that seems a world away from anything touristy. It was last materially altered in the 1930’s and is included on the CAMRA inventory for historic pub interiors. By rights the pub should not exist as, according to the pub history on display, the initial 1867 lease stipulated that the building must not be used as a pub or a beerhouse. Despite being granted a licence in the early 20th century, the lease and its covenant are still valid although I suspect not many people have found it necessary to enforce the rule.
The interior is divided 2 bars. The decent sized main bar has a striking chessboard tiled floor, exposed brick chiney breasts, built in padded pews and a quite simplistic approach. A large personalized Bath Hotel mirror has pride of place on the wall and there is a darts area but no other distractions like TV’s, jukeboxes, pool tables etc although there appears to be a small but thriving music scene going by the flyers on the tables. A tiled lobby leads to a quaint but quite small, carpeted snug bar at the rear with a predominatly blue colour scheme and its own small service hatch to the main bar
There were 5 hand pumps – 3 Ales, 1 Porter and a Scrumpy albeit my visit was some time ago and I made no notes other than one of them was Anchor Steam Beer. The lunchtime food was quite basic but very cheap and good for a quick snack. I could have happily spent more time there than I had available but would certainly look to seek the place out again next time I am in town even if it is a bit off the beaten track.

Great end of terrace pub with a very smart interior. Well kept cask ales from an ever changing range. Fast service and friendly locals. Always call in here for one when in Sheffield. There's a decent Mexican restaurant just down the road called Que-Tal. Ate there on Saturday as well which was also excellent (it's better than it looks from the outside)

Abbeydale Moonshine, Thorne Best Bitter, Sheffield Brewery Blanco Blonde, White Rose Buddha the Stout, Tetley (the) Bitter, bottle fridge with some belgian stylees (eg Chimay Blue, 9%, £3). Flat-iron style building with a U-ish shaped central bar running in contrary direction to outer design. Tiled floors throughout, low ceiling, mustard walls, main bar has windows either end & wood-backed leatherette settles surrounding the whole with accompanying tables & stools but an open area at the bar itself which features wood bar surround & large choice of whiskies. Smaller side room fairly plain but would be cosy in winter if that fireplace is functional. Sketchy notes (hic) suggest a stained glass window featuring ‘Bath Hotel', & a dartboard without oche (occasional use?). The walls carried a couple of splendid prints of blues musos; shame they were for sale rather than permanent for the pub. There was a good local feel to the place, a comfortable chatty atmosphere & end-of-day crossword comparisons in swing around the bar. Another good one for the lucky burghers of Sheffield. Seems The tram (dayrider £3), stops nearby at West St stn & Univ of Sheff stn.

Have not been in for a while but this used to be a great traditional pub.
