The Bell is a historic free house and music pub on the edge of Bath city centre: it is owned by 537 of its customers, fans and workers under IPS CoOperative rules
We finally bought the pub on July 2nd 2013. We have live music three times a week ranging from jazz to blues to folk to other things- check out the free band listings and What's On page, open mic nights on thursday, plus vinyl DJ nights at the weekend - always free!
We stock seven real ales plus two guest ales. We are in the Guardian and Observer guides to summer pubs as well as the Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, the Good Beer Guide and Le Guide du Routard. For your amusement we have table football, bar billiards, chess, backgammon, free wi-fi, a real fire and even a launderette!.
Nice atmosphere, good on the locals for saving this pub but the charmless young lady behind the bar must be costing you a fortune and it would be a shame to let everyone else's hard work go to waste over the poor attitude of one. Hopefully this gets addressed and becomes a roaring successful pub.
How much more room dus want .... it gets packed out ! Great beers lovely people everyone is chilled and nice not like alot of Bath pubs that are full of phone zombies
Really great place. Nice crowd. Good atmosphere. A proper pub but with a progressive, welcoming feel and really nice customers. Didn’t have food or stay for live music but will be back to check it out. The wine and beer was pretty good!
Lovely independent pub, cosy and perfect for a quiet pint. Prices are higher than average, though, as an independent pub this is to be expected in the current financial climate. The pub has a range of traditional pub games including a pool table. There is also regular live music. The staff are friendly and helpful. The bar has many independent ales and spirits. The Guinness is tied with Flan O'Brien's as the closest thing to Irish Guinness I've had in Bath. Would definitely recommend!
Really loved this pub great atmosphere music on point
