The pub is found in Bath, Somerset, BA2 3BW.

Relative newcomer to the Bath real ale scene in Lower Bristol Road in the Twerton district, this renovated pub was created from scratch from a derelict former pub. Ten handpumps dipense brews from microbreweries far and wide. Has its own brewery in the old kitchen.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 7 different beers and tried them all.
