The Canary

Whether you're the world's biggest gin fan or you're still unsure about the stuff, the Canary Gin…read moreBar is an absolute must when in Bath for libations. The ground floor offers 200+ gins and the Cocktails of Gin Austen menu (oh, yes, you read that right - it's "gin's transatlantic journey to New York"; it's "gin of a different persuasion"; and they're all just £9). Gin is not my preferred liquor, but these extremely well crafted, balanced, flavorful drinks have me wondering if my previous feelings about gin were totally misinformed. The Big Apple (featuring Bath Gin [what they make here], hopped rhubarb Bath Gin, apple schnapps, escubac, lime juice, and tonic) is really refreshing, but it's the Little Italy that I felt the most feelings for: Bath Gin, coffee-infused campari, cocchi torino, and apricot liqueur. The presentation is straight out of a magazine, the ingredients are all delicious, and it packs a serious wallop. "In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." Is that too much for a drink or a bar? Ahhhh, you'll see what I mean when you check it out. Upstairs, The Distiller's Bar, has more gins and cocktails but I never made it up there. I liked to tuck into the downstairs right when they opened with a good book and a good cocktail and people watch. The owner was frequently (always?) there bringing the merriment, too, so the atmosphere always felt quite cheery and welcoming!

Small bar (the downstairs especially), but worth a visit. I had no idea there was a local gin in…read moreBath until my friend took me here, and I"m glad he did. The Bath gin was delicious and wonderfully smooth. I had a G&T, which they made with an artisinal tonic and tossed a bay leaf in the glass... if you're a gin fan, this is the place for you. By the way, Bath gin price isn't listed - it costs £7/single. If the downstairs is crowded, try the upstairs - it covers the whole length of the downstairs and was pretty empty when I was there, while the downstairs was packed. They do have a few bottled beers (and Peroni on tap) and whiskeys and vodkas if you're not a gin fan... but why wouldn't you be?

The 3 story pub has lovely, warm, very British ambience. The Raven's food has a strong focus on hot pies, with a nice selection including Steak N Ale, Venison, Chicken, Beef N Cheese, Jackfruit, and Mushroom. My venison pie was delicious! The gamey meat was tender and succulent. I accidently ate into my wife's jackfruit pie...it was so good that I mistakenly thought it was my venison pie! £20 for any hot pie 'LOADED' which came with chips or Mash, plus heaps of roast vegetables and seasonal greens. It'll fill you up, and deliciously! Side Story: they accidently gave my wife a Chicken Pie instead of the Jackfruit Pie. The staff was so overwhelming apologetic about the error, and they refunded our ENTIRE bill! We said a small discount or just her pie being comped would've been more than fine, but they insisted on refunding the entire amount.

I love small, ambient, out-of-the-way places frequented by locals, and the Coeur De Lion fit the bill perfectly. Although we sat outside in the (unseasonably warm and sunny) April air, with a light breeze gusting through the rather narrow alleyway, my traveling companion and I became absorbed in the delicious flavors of our dishes, our engaging conversation, and the pleasant warmth of a perfect spring afternoon, tuning out the foot traffic (and most of the rest of the world) behind us. The best Shepherd's Pie I had the privilege to enjoy during my stay in the UK, and don't kid yourself, I ate a lot of Shepherd's Pie. Looking a bit like an over-sized, savory cupcake, resting on a nest of mashed potatoes and drizzled in gravy, I couldn't have been more satisfied with its crisp, flaky crust and tender, lean cuts of meat. The Coeur De Lion is small enough that you could blink and miss it, when walking by. Do yourself a favor, and keep your eyes open.

It's not a chain, for a start and it's also got a decent range of drinks available. They're open pretty late on some nights, so if you're out in Bath until the early hours, it's likely that you might find yourself in here towards the end of the night. It can get pretty crowded at times, so you often have to fight your way to the bar/toilets, but that kind of adds to the vibe of the place This is definitely a drinkers pub, so don't expect a lot of finesse.

Lots of different options on tap and I was especially impressed with their cider selection. They had an apple cider that was still (vs sparkling) and it was the first time I've ever heard of it. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because two people got sandwiches (the fish fingers and tofu po boy) both commented on it lacking a little flavor and wanting more salt/sauce. This would be a 4.5 stars but Yelp doesn't do that so rounded down.
