The Bear

The Bear offers a great atmosphere for couples, families and friends. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is excellent, especially the Sunday roast (vegan option is one of the best I’ve had in Bath). It shows loads of different sport, without the vibe of some other sporting pubs, and Ali is always happy to switch the TV to the rugby (even if it is to watch Bristol Bears!). We moved locally in the spring and this is a great local pub!

Food was very good and staff friendly and attentive. The burger was very excellent as were the starters , the decor comfortable and fairly spacious. It was a little noisy as there was football and music playing in competition but as a place to eat we will be back again.

Stayed for 3 nights as visiting family in the area. Reception was very friendly. First impression of room was good though did notice bathroom was a little scruffy as was hallway. Ate in first night. Food was very good when it did arrive as service was slow. I ordered the chicken kyev which was lovely though was disappointed with the crispy profiteroles. Breakfast first morning again very slow- waited 30 mins from order to delivery though the food was very tasty. The 3rd night I slept poorly as the extractor for the kitchen was left on which disturbed my sleep. Have to say pancakes at breakfast were delicious and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very nice but overall I thought the price was high.

We were working in Bath and the bear inn was recommended by our air bnb host . It was a busy night with a pub quiz , we were greeted by a lovely lady called Maddie she had only been there 2 weeks and was warm and friendly and very welcoming, we were shown to our table with menus and Maddie came back and took out order . The food was very quick to come to our table and was delicious I had fish and chips with curry sauce, coming from up north and living down south this was a great surprise to see it on the menu and I wasn't disappointed. The only disappointed thing was the profitaroles they were crispy instead of soft but didn't have much chocolate in them , but other than that everything was lovely. And I hope Maddie gets a permanent job she would be a great asset to the team.

Great placement within bath, amazing friendly staff great beers and food! Accommodation was excellent, very modern and tasteful, comfortable beds and great shower! The manager David was incredibly helpful and was a font of local knowledge. Thank you!

We had a lovely relaxing stay. The room was well stocked with tea, coffee and hot chocolate. There was a good range of breakfast options on the menu and our server, Claire was friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome and at home. Location was great, only 20 Minute walk into Bath city centre and a bus stop right outside.
