I can't I'm afraid, I've got lil fraction with me this weekend.

Yes, I know the Bell from previous visits but haven't been to Bath for ages, the new set-up is really tempting me now though. Is the ale choice still as top notch as before?

I go maybe 5 times a year - always seems to have a good choice

I'm visiting Bath sat 5th Oct, going to head down here. Interested to visit another community pub after some good times at the Ivy House, Nunhead.

 

[dessiato]

I turned down the chance to go to Bath this summer, now I'm wishing I had gone

 

[DJWrongspeed]

Great pub, what can I say, wish we had it's like in Brixton.

 

[marty21]

Our Share Certificates have now been printed - all official like my sister is collecting mine - and apparently we can get tax relief on the mioney we spent on them

which is nice

I'd love this sort of pub in Hackney

I picture a pub full of shareholders unsteadily leaning against the bar slurring demands for receipts

 

[William of Walworth]

We have a couple of free weekends in November. deb wants to go to Bath anyway, so we're going to get to the Bell for the first time in nearly three years

 

[fractionMan]

The certificates are robert crumb style works of art

Finally doing it. We're now definitely heading to Bath on Sat 23rd November -- Bell will certainly be on the agenda

Bell was absolutely cracking on Saturday. Fantastic beers, all well kept, great atmosphere, loved all the local event posters and flyers too. With a great fire. And doggy-friendly which is nice.

Scaffolding in front -- they're still cleaning/repairing the stonework. And with a new inn sign planned. We'll be coming back some point in 2014 -- deb wants to stop over for at least one night to have a lot more time than we had on Sat time for general exploring/walking/mooching/pub visiting around the city

Glad to hear it, you should try the Star Inn just around the corner from the Bell, also The Green tree , Close by too, and The Assembly Inn , also fairly close by. Spend most of your money in the bell though obvs

 

[William of Walworth]

We went to each of those others on Saturday**

**(bar the Assembly -- for next time, maybe).

We went to the Bell on Sunday. Well we went through the door. There was a band on, it was absolutely rammed and we had bags of Christmas shopping. So we left and went to the Green Tree instead. Which needed our trade a bit more.

I love the green tree. Was there on tuesday

It's generally pretty busy too.

 

[William of Walworth]

Green Tree was rammed when we went last Sat, as well. Great ales on though

Went there a few times when I lived in Fairfield Park, good luck to them, it is a real locals place as it is a bit hidden away
