Popped in after being left thirsty in Brewdog. No cask here now - so off I shoved to the station.
February 2011
Located directly outside Bath Spa BR, this large attractive building sports fairly mainstream ales (GK IPA, Hobgoblin and OSH on my visit). The interior is fairly hotel-like, tidy without being memorable. Could be worse and OK for a quickie before the train. Rated 5

As described by others below, this historic hotel was a good place to sit for a while, and the food was OK, but it falls short of being a model pub. We found the staff inattentive and a bit too offhand, while the beer was a non-starter. Two handpumps clipped as Tunnel Vision and Doombar, but neither was available for reasons that couldn’t be explained. We settled for East Coast IPA from the keg, which was over-priced and served too cold. Probably worth trying again especially as it’s so convenient for the railway station, but it’s not one for a crawl.

Blackthorn _ left this review about The Royal Hotel
Conveniently located directly opposite the station, this consists of two bars with quite different characters. The smaller bar along to the right has more of a public bar feel to it, with a plasma on the wall showing the football and a group of guys whose language left something to be desired. By 9:00pm it seemed to have closed as the shutters were down on the bar.
The larger and more prominent bar on the corner has more of a hotel lounge feel to it, and offers little in the way of any character but it’s not unpleasant and would no doubt suit some people. It’s quite contemporary, and I daresay recently refurbished with pine wooden flooring, suede armchairs, beige paintwork, pictures on the walls and a trendy backdrop to the bar with a display of wine bottles and coloured down-lighters. Behind this is a dining room.
Beers on tap were Abbey’s Bellringer and Greene King IPA. Ciders were Aspall’s Suffolk and Thatcher’s Gold.
