The Cork in Bath and North East Somerset

Came with my friends for a pre-booked session of karaoke (we are all uni students) and was refused entry by the management as I didn't have a physical ID but rather a photo/scan of my passport, even though I do not drink alcohol and was just planning to order food. The policy seems super unclear, why is it not written on the website? Very disappointed...

Lovely pub nice drinks decent prices

Love this bar, one of my favs in Bath

Amazing service but no guiness during the day ! Absolute sin

Fun pub with great seating options both inside and out, 2 different bars, and good beers on tap. Alot of the menu was unavailable or run out, nothing fresh, or any salad either sadly.

A great family night out- pizza, beer and karaoke with excellent service!

We booked karaoke in the largest pod in The Cork. It was fantastic value, as we paid a flat fee of £40 for two hours (on a week night) for a pod of up to 10 people. The karaoke music catalogue was a different type of machine and software compared to other known karaoke places. This meant that there were limitations on what you could sing and the search function was somewhat clunky. For example, no Taylor Swift songs at all, and only a selection of songs from other main artists. The main con was that there was only one microphone provided for the whole room, and that it was quite quiet compared to the music. The pod could get quite hot too, although there was a portable air conditioning unit provided (however there was no exhaust hose so unless the door was propped open, the warm machine air just came back into the room). Overall however, I still rate The Cork’s karaoke very highly. It was amazing value and a great space to have. For the price of up to £4 each (if you were a group of 10 paying £40 for two hours) then you really can’t complain. We were able to find a good selection of songs and had a great time.

Seems ok. Bit too many youngsters for my liking but I am old!!

We came here Sunday evening after watching the All Ireland final and did the quiz which was good fun it's a lovely bar and the two guys upstairs were sound but when we were sent downstairs things with downhill. Whoever the female I'm assuming manager is that both screamed at us to finish our drinks then proceeded to snatch my brother's drink out of his hand truly buggered belief. Also other staff one fella who had earphones in and another girl who was both rude and not only didn't ask my other brother what drink he wanted but brought him a drink he didn't ask for that was all after sighing and pulling a face at him. God forbid a barmaid having to serve drinks we apologise for the inconvenience. The worst customer service I've ever encountered anywhere ever. Never again

Nice pub venue with good selection of summer drinks.

Great sports bar with great atmosphere!

Staff was really friendly happy to talk to u and have a laugh door staff was the same... nice to sit out side and had big tv for the football...

Good spot for a drink, good size if you have a large party. Shame about the power tripping bouncer that man handled 3 of us for no reason whatsoever. If I owned this bar and knew of the takings lost because of it, i'd be releasing him into the wild. His colleague clearly knew of his behaviour as he wasn't surprised and looked awkward when confronted.

Great place for the sun had booths and table and chairs. Good variety of food and very tasty and good value well worth a visit.

Karaoke booth very damp / mouldy. You could smell the damp as soon as you went down there, so much so that they had a dehumidifier down there. It was dark so unable to see how bad it was but it’s made a few of us ill just from spending a few hours in there. Not safe

Nice enough pub, on lots of different levels. Got a bit confusing. Nice outside space

Nice pub and great atmosphere if you can sit outside.

We booked the karaoke to celebrate a couple of birthdays. The bar was busy but the atmosphere was really friendly and fun. The karaoke rooms were good fun and good value for money. The DJ set when we went on a Friday night was good. Bar was busy but we got served quite quickly.

The karaoke booths were so much fun. Certainly worth doing with your pals and a highlight of our day out in Bath. Drinks package was really good value

Didn’t have any food here hence the 1 star! ⭐️ service was great and our karaoke booth was really good! Music didn’t sync sometimes but the staff was on hand and fixed it within minutes! Delicious cocktails!

Nice place.. good drinks but toilets are always stinky :/

We only went for a drink but what a wonderful place

Popped in for a quick beer, very quiet. But there is another bar and area downstairs. Depends on what entrance you enter the pub. Staff were cheerful enough.

Nice bar, good choice of drinks, good atmosphere and reasonable prices

Absolutely fab night in one of the karaoke pods for our works Xmas do. Staff super helpful and friendly.

Cracking pub, we were lucky to find this place, great atmosphere, great staff and great food. Really surprised to find a place in Bath so central that was such good value. 12 inch margherita pizza £8 big box of chips £4 could easily do two people and really tasty. Love this place

Worth 2 C. My second favourite pub in Bath

Nice drinks and interesting pictures on the walls which entertained us for a while.

Promised by 3 bar staff they'd play the Ireland rugby game but didn't tonight. I would have gone somewhere else if I'd known they'd be keeping the boxing on. Flat on lied to us, missed first ten minutes and we will never be back.

Promised by 3 members of bar staff to show the Ireland rugby at 8pm. One other bar staff was rude when I said we had waited since 6.30 and that it if wouldn’t be shown we would go elsewhere. Really disgraceful treatment and I would really like to hear the management’s view of this as they appeared to be nowhere to be seen. Aidan Hopwood

Promised by 3 bar staff that they'd show the Ireland rugby game downstairs tonight. Waited for an hour before the game, then they showed the boxing and we missed the first ten minutes and had to try and find seats elsewhere. Completely lied to our faces, won't be back.

The rooms get unbearably warn and the dehumidifier puts the water onto the floor of the room you are in. The system is easy to use and works well. We had a broken microphone.

An absolute gem. Very Friendly reception, the bar girl couldn't do enough for us. Fantastic atmosphere, brilliant balanced menu for pizzas, nibbles and pannis. The pizza we just ate between us was by far the nicest pizza we have had in a long time - done to perfection. It's a very warm day, and the air-conditioning is making this an incredibly comfortable place to eat. We would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone in or around Bath.

Was very quiet when I was there. Place is on two levels but the upstairs didn't open until 6pm. I had a pint which was ok.

Nice pub, very pleasant and helpful staff and decent prices (for Bath)

I haven't been here for many years, and to be honest, I was a little disappointed we ordered our drinks, and halfway through they didn't have a couple of the cocktails we asked for. On the 3rd try they said we were better off going downstairs to order cocktails, so we paid for half the round and went downstairs to order. After ordering 2 Mojitos the bar tender started making them and then realised they didn't have mint at which point we ordered a wine and moved on to a cocktail bar that actually made cocktails

Gorgeous boutique hotel, with exquisite thoughtful details in each room!

Good meeting place for friends, pizzas looked good, very quick attentive service on a quiet night.

Was a great night. Went to the drag bingo. Was on our last night in Bath and was a good way to end the holiday

Lovely service team, cute place. Loose a star just for the rubbish and build up of glasses etc.

The blonde person at the bar is exceptionally rude with 0 customer service. Also the pints are quite mediocre.

Despite the outstanding atmosphere in the pub, the bartenders completely ruined our night. The bartenders were unprofessional and appeared to want us gone despite our best efforts to be friendly and talkative. One of the bartenders demanded that we take our glasses to the bar, which we would normally do without question, however the bartenders rudeness and phrasing upset the majority of our group. We were treated like children. I would not recommend this pub to anyone looking for good service, the rudeness of the bartender particulary left a bad taste.

I ordered a drink, and while the girl poured the pint for me, she stood there typing on her phone, and continued to do so while taking payment for me and seemed inconvenienced when asked if I could have a student discount. By 10 to midnight, the guy came up to us and ordered us to leave all of our glasses on the end of the bar, the group I was with were friendly and would have done this anyway, had we not been ordered to do so. By the way we were treated I have absolutely no intention of coming here again. The bar staff were neither friendly nor welcoming and it seemed like they couldn’t wait to get rid of us.

Really nice pub with absolutely lovely staff. Very accommodating. Prices are as expected. The vibes are really nice inside the pub, although the music could be turned down a little in the downstairs sitting area.

Great pub. Chilled atmosphere and upstairs had live sport. Great service. A little difficult to properly see the sport even with the pull down projector screen, but a minor problem. First time there and will be back

Nice selections of drinks behind the bar, not too badly priced. But dark and stuffy inside.

Good pub for football, plus Erdinger on tap 👌🏽

Called in for a quick bite to eat and a drink. Service was good and staff friendly Ordered a pizza and large wine…. Exactly as described

Great pub friendly helpful staff

Great pub with great atmosphere. Friendly staff . Would totally recommend

Happened to be there on a dj night and danced the night away with all the students. Great fun

Relaxed, so fun, everyone was amazing 👏

Pls pls if you’re a student do NOT go here asked for a single twice for two jack Daniel's and Coke and it came to 20 pounds, even though I asked for a single? Went back just to clarify as to why it’s so expensive? The women who served us put a double for both drinks even though she admitted to saying she remembered we wanted singles? They will try to take advantage of you if you appear to be drunk so please reconsider going here if you don’t want to be ripped off 👍🏻

Drag Bingo Night .... one of the best and funniest nights I've had..... awesome place

Beer was crisp and clean. Venue was fabulous! The bar tender Harry Reed, was utterly splendid, who provided a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this establishment. Thank you Harry, and thank you Cork

Didn't stay full up with rugby supporters

So many entrances and exits A better than average Guinness

Good pub for watch sport, o ly downside was speaker adjacent to large screen not working so sound wasn't great

Cozy place to go with your mates or loved ones, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, friendly staff as well!

Had a great night talking to the bouncers

Solid selection and good atmosphere

Brilliant pub with a good vibe, if you are in bath go there.

Paid for karoake room , lost 20 minutes with it's not being ready and things stopping working a time, one mic per room not ideal tv crackling but worst of all horrible and full of mold and stank of damp really unhealthy singing environment.

Lovely place to watch live football

Nice place..pub quiz 👌 great fun on a Sunday evening

Friendly staff, cool interior and lots of themed evenings. Deffo recommended!

Brilliant student pub, great quiz night.

Great pub with plenty of tables in and out. A few TV’s for football. Beers, decent food. Staff have been of mixed quality over the years.

Lively pub but quick at the bar, lovely atmosphere, good prices.

Had a bottle of wine here. Good service just good atmosphere off the main centre

Expensive drinks, and only a matter of minutes from a Weatherspoons.

Pizza and fries were amazing, staff were fab too

Over priced IPA oh dear sorry won't be coming back

Still has the neighborhood pub feel. Good selection of cask beers! Food is pretty much limited to pizzas. No cash - Card Only!

Enjoyed drag bingo night it was really fun and it’s a nice lovely pub

Nice friendly staff made most welcome

Nice place, clean, toilets clean. Just a shame it only serves pizza. Beer garden very nice

Ordered our pizza on a sunday not so busy night. 50mins in and they still haven't served it. We cancelled the order didnt get q refund. Meh

Good environment and good beers selections

Great selection of draught and spirits, large garden, lovely staff

Great pub, lovely outdoor suntrap!

Cash bar and Pizzas for food. Good selection of beers here Friendly Staff. Great for Smokers outside

Great drinks and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend the Sunday Pub Quiz too!

Great vibe good service the garden is nice

Good place to have a drink or two before heading into Bath Town centre or if are going to the clubs.

Good meeting place, but the décor has become too childish and the already expensive prices have surged. A shame

Everything is great here but one of the bartenders was wack

Food now seems to be limited to pizzas so we left and ate at the nearby Black Fox, where the beer selection is better anyway.

Have had a couple of dodgy pints from here now. Gave it the benefit of the doubt the first time but after having another one a few months on it’s just not worth it, with 2 out of 4 visits now producing pints with that horrible taste where you can tell the pipes haven’t been cleaned. This has happened with pints from both the upstairs and downstairs bars and different lagers and so can only assume it must just be an issue with the management doing things on the cheap and not cleaning them regularly enough. Shame as it’s otherwise a good pub with a great beer garden

Lively bar with a good selection of beers. I like the Tiny Rebel brewery! Definitely a place for youngsters meeting up, for the more middle aged man service at the bar is certainly slow when there is the appeal to serve young skimpily dressed women. My wife felt well at home several pints in imagining she was playing the field again 😁 I won't be returning on a Saturday night, only because it's for youngsters and I won't intrude!

4 of us did karaoke last night in the small pod and we had such a good laugh! The system was really easy to use and we were able to screech along to every single 80s power Ballard that we asked for. The room is a bit smelly, but it is underground in bath so it’s bound to be a bit damp smelling right?! You soon get used to it anyway. We absolutely LOVED it and all lost our voices for the rest of the evening! Highly recommend if you are a relaxed group that just want to have some fun.

I really like this pub. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are nearly always friendly and upbeat. It's got a great vibe and fun atmosphere. The bar stocks nearly every drink you can possibly imagine and for Bath it is very reasonably priced! The only reason they did not get 5 stars from me is because the toilets are always pretty vile. I know it's not the biggest issue in the world and a lot of pubs have grotty toilets but these are nearly always really dire. The Cork is highly popular with students, so maybe we can blame them a bit! In post-pandemic times though, cleanliness feels like a lot of a bigger deal than in the past. Hopefully the next visit will change my mind and will be worth 5 stars. Overall a decent place. I recommend a visit if you are in town!

Booked a large karaoke pod which was good. Stopped working but they gave us 10 mins extra. Enjoyed the night. We didnt stay after so cant comment on the rest of the bar but the toilet downstairs was absolutely vile 🤮

Nice outdoor space, service can be a little slow at times.

I was an absolute regular at the Cork but unfortunately on 23/04 my partner and I were called homophobic slurs and threatened by a group that insisted on sitting at our table despite us asking them not to. The situation could not have been handled worse. The security guard did nothing to remove the group. They were allowed to finish their drinks until after time they shoved the guard and even then nothing was done by anyone working or the security to remove the group. They were finally ushered on by their friend and not once did a member of staff check that we were okay. All that was done throughout the entire encounter was the guard stood between our tables while the group continued to call us every name under the sun. The company should be embarrassed to have a pride flag behind their bar. The situation quite frankly could not have been handled worse, we felt like an inconvenience to the manager and the group shouting abuse at us were given every courtesy possible. Hosting drag events and having a pride flag on site mean absolutely nothing if behaviour like that is tolerated on site. Quite disgusting really.

Nice size pub friendly staff reasonable prices

Popped in for a few drinks and a quick pizza. Pizza's were fab. The staff are all friendly, polite and helpful. What more could you ask for? It's also dog friendly. :-)

I was served by the rudest barmaid because I didn’t choose my drink quickly enough.

Lots of space, very funky and retro-esk , very nice staff, good selection of drink and dog friendly 👍

Staff are superb, can't do enough for you, good atmosphere in pub
