Quiet and peaceful, like stepping into a timewarp.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Marston's - Bass	4.40		Served the traditional way, straight from the cask to a jug then to glass. Fruity and malty but not overly so. My score 15/20.

What a fantastic pub interior. ...but why was it all but empty? A myriad of small rooms, each with their own character form this little gem of a pub.

No other customer in, but still bags of atmosphere due to it having lots of small rooms. Andy and I chose the smallest and filled it. Great pub, that knows how to serve its beer and pickled eggs. 4/5

The pub is found in Bath, Somerset, BA1 5NA.

Located at the north end of high pavement on The Paragon. Traditional pub, famous for its multi-roomed interior of "Oustanding historic interest". Also once famous for its Bass served from 2 casks on gravity dispense on the floor behind the bar and served from jug to glass. 5 handpumps grace the bar, one of which is usually reserved for cider. Although owned by Punch is leased to Abbey Ales and acts as their unofficial brewery tap. Reported in late 2017 that the Bass is no longer on gravity cask as it can not be supplied in 18 gallon casks so Abbey Ales Bellringer is now sold that way instead and Bass moved to handpump dispense. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2022.

We have visited this pub 13 times, seen 32 different beers and tried 7 of them.
