Old Green Tree in Bath and North East Somerset

Really friendly, cosy pub. Best pint I've enjoyed for a while....

We stumbled upon this establishment when looking for our restaurant. Like most tourists when lost you pull over in a charming pub and hope to log onto their Internet to find your directions. They did not have WiFi but had delicious beer and such friendly patrons that one gentleman who was local and had WiFi on his phone helped us find our way to our next destination. At first I thought it was like a club but then felt very welcomed. An enchanted little pub that will allow you to stop and appreciate the local charm.

My favourite experience in England, was sitting here and talking to the keeper, having a pint of traditional ale in a very traditional pub. It invoked historical nostalgia. A must place for a quick or long pint.

Amazing atmosphere, with friendly staff and local drinkers. Its a tiny pub, with loads of character.

Great little boozer, lovely fresh pimms

Really cool pub, wood panelled cubby rooms. Well kept pints.

Great traditional unspoilt pub. Didn’t eat but hear it’s good.

Genuinely one of my favourite pubs in Bath! The staff are always friendly and willing to have a good conversation with you, a quality shared by the regulars. The beer/cider on tap is switched out every month, which gives me something new and refreshing to try upon every visit. The space is cosy and intimate, with a real traditional atmosphere. The two sitting areas feel very lived in. I even like that there is no cell signal or Wi-Fi! It forces everyone to put there phones away, leave the world for a little while and just enjoy a great ale among great company!

Nice cosy pub serving real ale. Met some nice locals and had a great chat.

Popped into the old green tree on a Friday to check they were still not offering food, which they aren’t but the barman and locals very friendly and was recommended to go to the salamander for lunch. Great recommendation so look for that on another review. We came back for a drink afterwards and the staff and beer were as excellent as I remember from 30 years ago. No need for WiFi or TV the old green tree provides its own ambience and entertainment. Only go if you want great conversation, good beer and a wonderful friendly atmosphere 👍👍😄

Great pub, great beer, good atmosphere, mix of locals and visitors

Having always loved The Green Tree (going back over 30 years) we visited on Good Friday for lunch to find that they are no longer doing food. Apparently, since Covid, they have been unable to find a chef (according to the bar man). Be advised that this now seems to be a drinks only pub - still lovely and a real find but not if you want to eat!

Lovely traditional pub with great beer!

This is a quirky hidden jem serving decent ale, local spirits and basic pub food. We had the pulled pork and stuffing rolls. It is a little pricy but so are most things in Bath. It provided good company and if you like traditional pubs then don't miss it.

The 2024 CAMRA Bath and Borders Pub of The Year! And rightly so, a small independent pub in the centre of Bath. Wide range of quality Ales and fine wines. Gets busy on rugby match day, but always have a great atmosphere:) Tim the landlord is a lovely guy and makes people very comfortable

Congratulations to the most obnoxious barman in Bath. If you’re thinking of taking a small child then forget it. “It’s getting too late to have kids in” at 5.45 on a Saturday “the buggy thing will be in the way “. Still took our money though and tolerated our presence, just. The beer wasn’t really worth the hassle. Much nicer and more welcoming places to spend an hour nearby.

1920/30s? Charming oak panelled pub with three cosy rooms. Cask beer and cider on hand pumps plus a keg offering. Green Tree Ales is brewed for the house, decent malt base supporting a good hoppy profile, shame about the pouring but I think headless beer is a thing here? Pitchfork Ales Golden Ale came across a little sour and uninspiring but then I'm a fussy tyke used to drinking Timothy Taylors in peak condition in the town where it's brewed. That's the thing about travel, it makes you appreciate what you have on your doorstep.

Cosy and quirky little pub. Great place to stop by for a pint.

I liked the atmosphere, a small pub with lots of character not bad prices

Cosy town centre pub hidden away in plain sight. Quick pint pit stop. Friendly.

Beautiful little pub with old fashioned character with a modern twist.

Outstanding service in the quirkiest pub in Bath. Great advice / guidance in choosing beers....

Love this place.... lovely cask ales, service and atmosphere

Unusual find - a characterful small pub only serving drinks currently, so no waiting for a pint while someone draws smiley faces in coffee foam. Excellent ciders & beers on draught & an unusually good selection of whiskies for southern England. Bit pricey, but it's Bath & the wood panelled rooms are really relaxing - a bit of an anachronism when so much is modernised to the point of extinction.

A must visit for Bath tourists. Very traditional interior. Great beers and a few ciders. Food not always available. Positioned in a interesting street of small businesses.

Just a gorgeous little pub. Love it.

One of the best pubs in Bath, with great beer and cider. And there were sword dancers when we went

My favourite pub in Bath; probably my favourite pub anywhere!

Great tradition little English pub. I really had a great time here.

A cracker of a traditional pub.

AL the bartender is the most welcoming soul! My sister & I entered for a pint and he made sure we had the best! Very friendly! Tell AL the sisters from Ohio adore him!!!!

Real gem of a pub, proper oldie hasn't been touched since the seventies. Brilliant don't touch a thing. Good to see that there are still some of them left , the ale was good too,

Quaint little pub. Have 4 beers on. I tried the Old Slug Porter and it was very nice and tasty. Kept well. What more can you say. Plenty of seating. The smallness from outside is deceiving as I think it's set quite far back. Would definitely return.

One of the littlest pubs I have ever been in very quircky and friendly staff

Awesome pints of RCH Pitchfork and Old Slug

It was great little pub where I got to learn to say "bitter" and "Worcestershire" properly as well as had a splash with our Dolphin bartender, haha. Would 100% visit again for another Pimm's lemonade. :)

I wanted my daughter to have her first beer ever in Bath, Somerset, during our last Daddy-Daughter trip before she heads to college. The experience could not have been better. Alan, the bartender, made sure she had an amazing experience and got to have a proper cask ale. I love The Old Green Tree, in part because of its history as the oldest pub in Bath, but also because of the ambience, the service and the people who gather there. I cannot wait to return with the rest of the family.

Good pub excellent service Must go again Thank you

Proper pub in an old building, oldest pub in Bath. Well kept real ales and friendly bar men and customers, who took in a couple of yanks on holiday. They even invited me to stand behind the bar and pull a pint for a picture which was then on the house. A great time!

Bit quiet night I was there. Me on my tod.

A proper pub with a lively atmosphere. On our Saturday evening visit it was bustling and popular with a small bar and two separate seating areas, with friendly staff, well-kept beers and is definitely worth a visit.

Lovely old world pub friendly staff well worth a visit

It was as the reviews said, maybe a more local olde style pub. That said, the service was great and the welcome was warm. A fine pint of Exmoor Gold and a lovely quiet pub

Really nice pub that sells great ales. It is small but cosy. It is very popular with the locals. Very friendly staff

One of those rare snug boozers with a changing ale selection and informed advice from both sides of the bar. Add in a weak cellphone signal, low ceilings, the hub-bub of chatter for an ideal idle.

A timeless classic with quality ales.

Fabulously small, friendly pub, a real character

Great atmosphere! Amazing staff and friendly patrons. A cosy 18th century pub full of character and fun. The drinks were a decent price, considering the central location. Could not recommend more and will definitely be visiting again.

Sadly we were asked to leave as we were singing - just some traditional Welsh songs. Nothing rude or too boisterous. Some other customers left with us. Probably a good bar if you are a monk and like to sit in complete silence while drinking

Great old pub in the heart of Bath. Ever changing, well kept cask ales at the centre of it's offering. Highly recommended.

Nice old pub in the heart of Bath. Friendly locals make it a must for the solo traveller.

A hidden gem - not very much room but that, along with the fabulous ales, is it's attraction. Please don't ever change!

Not as good as it used to be. Quite often closed and not always got cider/beers as advertised.

One of my favourite pubs but prices now becoming too expensive. Could be enticing me to Spoons. Sorry.

Great little pub in Bath, with good selection of ales

Doesn’t get much better than this

What a proper olde pub. Great, friendly service and a champion choice of beers. You must visit.

Love this place have to go in everytime I go to Bath so friendly everyone makes you feel so welcome,you go in knowing no one come back out and you know everyone in there good laugh good banter and good beer

A traditional old pub. Real ales well kept. Friendly staff. Lovely local customer base mixed with tourists. Fancy a good pint and a chat? Always available. No Sky TV, no fruit machines just a beautiful time warp lovingly cared for by the owner Tim and his team.

Great little pub, full of character.

Lovely old traditional pub in the centre of Bath. Great beers and friendly staff.

Sat in the cosy lounge area at the front of the pub. Good choices of real ale plus friendly customers to chat to.

Great pub very old school it’s a must go to pub

Just a lovely,old fashioned pub. Good beer, good staff, ànd a nice friendly atmosphere

The wooden panneling in the back room is just staggering, should be full of secret tunnels and passageways for smugglers or disposing of body snatchers. Good company to be had and wonderful staff.

What a great spot to grab a genuine ale. The bartender (wish I grabbed his name) and local regulars were amazing people. Loved hearing the history of the place and the whole Free House vs Macro Brewery realities in the UK pub scene. Half pours of the ales were much appreciated as an option so I could try several during a short visit.

Fabulous traditional English pub with a great selection of real ales.

Always loved this place . Bit cramped but you get to talk to people

Loved this place the first time we went but not the last time. We rang specifically to ask if dogs could come in and they said yes. Arrived at about 18:45 on a Saturday and as we sat in the corner at a free table, we were told that our dog wasn’t allowed because it was “too busy”. Our dog being a very quiet, sleepy whippet. Told the guy behind the bar that they had earlier said yes and he grunted to say he only worked there! Rules should be consistent and all staff should know them. We wouldn’t have minded if it was a straight no. All the people in the pub said it was mean and gave suggestions of The Raven. We were all welcomed there!

The list of real ales outside drew us into this small, but welcoming city centre pub. We sat in the very cosy panelled back room. The bar area and another room at the front appeared to be occupied by some friendly locals. Well worth a visit.

Warm welcome. Great pub, great beer, no TV blasting out. A small, cosy pub. Loved it.

Excellent little traditional pub, very friendly and excellent ales

Brilliant pub full of characters and great beer!

Super friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent beer and cider. Quintessential English pub experience.

I first used this lovely little gem of a pub in 1963 at the age of 20 years and now use it every time we go into Bath at the age of 80 years. The only thing that’s changed is the Barman and the prices, everything else remains the same. The regulars are all people of a certain age with style. A real gem that is best kept a secret. It’s wonderful little haven away from the wild world of tourists and students.

Warm, friendly, charming; lovely and unique layout with a come-as-you-are vibe. So glad we went - will return.

Absolutely brilliant as always Tim is always on form when I go in merry Christmas to all at the green tree

Such a lovely pub, amazing building, good feel to it. The Old Green Tree Ale was amazing and very reasonably priced. Perfect pub vibe

Go try the food. My god I've worked as a chef in the Ritz and even I'm impressed. The enjoyment of if you can only do one thing do it right. Lamb shank 10/10 and only £11. If I lived closer I'd be back daily.

A go to place when in Bath. Love it!!!

Small pub with tiny bars A relic from the past Well situated for Bath Abbey Will revisit Thanks

Lovely place. Visited bath for the weekend and went to quite a few pubs, this was by far the best. Cozy atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff, also the nicest doorman I think I’ve ever encountered. Definitely go there

Quirky, traditional old pub. Very friendly with loads of character. Fantastic beer and wine. Warm welcome from all the staff and regulars. ❤️

What a quaint little boozer,my friend Gareth works there and we kept promising to pop over,was not disappointed,this is a talkers pub,no TV or WiFi,not very spacious but highly recommend this place,Dorset Gold Real Ale was GREAT,

One of my favourite pubs in Bath. A real proper local. Tiny, cozy, great ales, friendly locals and even more friendly staff behind the bar. Nothing beats this place on a cold autumn / winter Saturday evening!

Cozy place with kind staff. Just remember it's so small, and it can be noisy.

Lovely old pub Brilliant service and a fabulous selection of real ales Great detailing inside too.

Great real ales in a traditional Bath pub.

Very nice people serving at the bar and good stout.

Great pub, but if you want a seat, avoid going at busy times. Good ale selection. A must visit place every Bath trip

Nostalgia!! ...back in the mid 60s this was an unofficial 6th form common room for quite a few of us at City of Bath Boys' School! Yesterday was the first time I've been back in since 1969 and it was like stepping into a time capsule... man who welcomed me said that about the only things that had changed were some upholstery and a bit of technology behind the bar! HAPPY DAYS!

A superb feature rich pub with good ales. Close to the city centre and worthy of a visit or three.

Lovely historic pub! 100% recommend.

Micropub before the idea.Squeesed into conversations with very interesting strangers.

Beautiful, old pub with friendly staff and great atmosphere. Definitely will be returning! My partner even got the chance to go behind the bar for a photo which was a real treat :)

Lovely little pub please pop in and try it as it’s a great real ale boozer. It’s a bit tucked away and in danger of being overshadowed by more mainstream chains

Great atmosphere in this awesome pub

A very very nice establishment which is well worth a visit at and stage of your visit to Bath. Then it is also in the Bridgerton-series and with a wife that love the serie.....

Traditional, friendly, tiny. Not much more to be said!
