This is a must visit Bath pub. Great ales and ciders, brilliant atmosphere with such an eclectic mix of people, music but not loud and banging unless it's one of the livelier live acts they have on on a Monday or Wednesday. They have a really good well established open mic night in the back room (The Love Lounge) on a Thursday. There's also a washing machine and a dryer out back too! Handy for the backpackers, do your washing and have a beer while you wait! One of my top 5 Bath pubs!

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.

Our first night in Bath and we were looking for a pub experience. We had read about Garrick's Head…read moreand gave it a try. 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.

What a relaxing spot for a pub lunch. While exploring Bath for the day, we were taken to the…read moreCrystal Palace for food and drinks. The environment was nice and the food was decent! 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.

Omg yum all. It's so satisfying to smell the really good aroma of fine cooked food in the air…read morebefore you even eat and then you see this platter arrive at your table full of perfect french fries with a whole fish laying across the top of it. It was heaven on earth. Then I got to eat it and realized that it truly was everything that I've heard it is For perfection.. It was so much fun eating here with my family and having all these wonderful dishes available it was something I would look forward to coming back to anytime. Totally worth the money.
