    The Architect was recommended as a spot to stop for lunch while in Bath. The architect was easy enough to find with its banners and large printing. I was surprised how big and beautiful this building was. The main entrance leads into a den like library area which is super sweet for sipping back a cocktail in peace. You have to walk beyond the library to the bar area as that's how you get seated. The bar was also really lovely indoors but instead opted to sit on the outdoor covered and enclosed patio. It was lovely this day out there and 99% of the customers were dining on the indoor and outdoor patio. The menu has decent selections. Plenty of starters and appetizers plus larger dishes like burgers, seafood, and sandwiches. Told they have "something for everyone here" and I would agree. Also a nice wine menu and standard cocktails to choose from. I went for a hot tea and presentation was 10/10. Large teapot with loose leaf tea, visually fun. Good enough for about 2 1/2 cups of tea. Was provided with milk and sugar cubes, perfection! A lovely cup of tea worth the trip alone. Two main entrees we ordered were the fish and chips and the steak burger. Both were phenomenal and delicious! The fish and chips was a hearty serving size, lovely tartar sauce, and standard mushy peas. The steak burger was juicy and had a super soft bun. Great higher end pub food that's for sure. The meals were great and exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere is casual but nice to see a lot of locals eating and drinking here. Lots of girlfriends getting together to drink wine, a nice mature audience. No children around so the vibes were adult and comfortable. Just how I like it. Service was super friendly and welcoming. The pace was initially pretty good but when they got busier we did notice service went down a little. Nothing terrible, just worth mentioning that we had to flag someone down for our check and didn't really get those check ins towards the end of the meal but prior service was attentive and from start to finish super kind, sweet staff working here. This spot is a real gem and just perfect, I'd highly recommend adding this spot for lunch or drinks one afternoon! Dog friendly also as I noticed they had a bin with dog treats near the lobby :)

    What a beautiful building and amazing interior. The minute you step inside you're transported back in time. We opted for a seat on the terrace to watch the city quiet down for the night. The food was excellent, I opted for the lamb leg ragu and it did not disappoint. If you're in the city don't pass this one up.

    Everything was ok, a bit cramped, food was decent, beer was cold. Not a bad place to hop in. Lots of local there.

    Went to Garricks twice today in Bath. Lunch and dinner.. for lunch we had the shared seafood…read moreplatter with skinny fries and curry sauce. For dinner I had the crispy pork belly Sunday roast. Mrs had the beef Sunday roast. Service was great both times. Food was fresh and hot. When in Bath this is a good spot to eat.

They have several local ales on tap and some "Real Ale" cask conditioned for a traditional experience. Sadly, there was no roast beef when we arrived so we'll have to wait for the classic Sunday roast. Steak and ale pie, and a butternut squash pie were good substitutes. This is a popular spot, especially for outdoor seating. We sat inside in a cozy dining room but if the weather is dry outdoors is a nice option.

The food is reasonably priced. Pub grub - has chicken and ham pot pie and sea bass. Service was a bit slow when I dined - mainly one person doing everything although she was fantastic and super polite. Overall, quite satisfied. Would come back again!

The pub is unassuming on the outside but nice inside. There are two sections those for indoor dining and those wanting to sit outdoors or hang by the bar, we chose the latter. Outside is wonderful with a nice patio, plants, and plenty of shade. With the warm weather, this was a popular spot for folks. Service was friendly but limited. You order and pay for your food and drinks at the bar, they bring it out to you and that's it. I had a Lemon Chicken Pesto Sandwich. It was fine but nothing spectacular. I wish there was more filling to the sandwich, it was very bready. The fries (chips) were crispy and soft. My group enjoyed their meals as well and they looked good. Bath has lots of eateries and shops. If you're going to the Roman Baths or are in the main area, Crystal Palace is a nice spot to stop in for a bite or drink. They're located off Abbey Green near the courtyard.
