Having just recently finished 2 glorious months of pet-sitting in the city, enjoying a number of awesome drinking establishments at my fingertips, I’ve put together this list of 15 of the best pubs in Bath.
With two universities and a thriving tourism scene, it’s no surprise that there are so many great pubs in Bath. Everything from taverns dating back hundreds of years that are steeped in history and tradition, to modern cocktail bars with drink specials and rooftop patios is on offer.
As a permanent digital nomad, but with all my friends and family still living in the UK, I had a number of visitors during my time in Bath. These ranged from my 10-year-old nephew to a best friend from school, and my Dad who is retired, so I was able to explore the full breadth of Bath pubs. There really is something for everyone.

I considered several criteria when compiling the 15 best pubs in Bath. There are so many great ones to choose from but things such as value for money, overall experience, food, drink specials, and outdoor seating were just a few of the factors that have ultimately decided my top 15. Let’s begin:
1. The Raven (Top Pub in Bath Overall)
Set over 4 floors and with 2 (and a half) bars The Raven is a great place to get a genuine English pub experience. It’s been included in the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Good Beer Guide for 15 consecutive years and was the CAMRA pub of the year for 2023.
The Raven is a Free House, which means that it’s not tied to a specific brewery (it doesn’t mean that the beer is free – sadly), so you’re guaranteed an excellent and varying array of craft beers, ciders, stouts, lagers, and ales available. It’s really one of the best pubs in Bath city center for a great pint.
Built from two Georgian townhouses, and ideally located just a street from the main thoroughfare, be sure to stop in for a beer or two in this fantastic old pub that is steeped in British drinking tradition.
