The Devonshire Arms in Bath and North East Somerset

Proper pub with a pool table, darts and skittle alley

Great pint butcombe beer great service with smile

Amazing atmosphere thought id head to the devonshire. Only proper traditional pub left in Bath. Brilliant selection of drinks. Very friendly and welcoming family run pub. Live music and events on regularly. Multiplw pool tables, multiple dart boards even a snooker room, live sports everything a real pub should have which is rare to find in Bath these days.

Recommend by the place we were staying to go here for a drink. Unfortunately the welcome was very cold. Not even a hello! just told "we aren't serving! We were there by 10:45pm for a last drink of the eve. The lady behind the bar was rude and unwelcoming. As we left she locked the doors behind us with a pub full of locals remaining inside.

Only had a couple of beers and a few games of pool. Parking was the tricky thing as no car park and time zones on road before 6pm is 2 hours. Friendly service and the customers seemed friendly as it filled up in the hour I was there. Skittles, pool and darts all played here too. Good local pub I'd say.

I would avoid it If I was a tourist. Bar staff are nasty and incompetent. Please avoid. I don't know how to expand on this any further. I turned up in your pub to play pool Get them gone awful barstaff. Dreadful barstaff get them gone. Not sure how else to portrait this. Horrible bar staff. These reviews will flood in nasty people

Play skittles there. Nice atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Think this club is under new management now but popped in here a year ago looking to see if they were playing the football one day over Christmas. They didn’t as Bath is a rugby town but the pub was dead and the barman kindly changed channel for me and I sat up at the bar drinking and chatting to locals long after the football had finished. Great memories of that pub.

We play skittles in the week plus they have darts, pool tables and snooker. Friendly staff, open from 4pm most days.

What an amazing atmosphere we had in here we was staying in Bath for the weekend thought we give the devonshire a try live band was playing absolutely brilliant credit to the owners keep up the good work in keeping an old pub rocking xx

A nice local pub. Played skittles there tonight and had a great time.

Great real pub, two pool tables still at 50p a game, a snooker club upstairs, friendly owner

Great pub, great atmosphere, great landlord!

Very friendly local pub. Darts, skittles, pool and a snooker hall!

What a turnaround! A pub that used to be outright hostile to one that has great management and investment. A friendly and accommodating boozer. Great for a decent pint (well kept ale) live sports and music. Glad to have it in the community.

Great bar, great staff. Nothing more to be said.

Its a friendly local. Much improved.

Good local. Drinks only pub with pool, darts and sports on the TV. Gathering place for locals and new comers alike.

Friendly welcoming landlord and staff. Pints nice and full with a few nice dogs to play with too. Great place

Amazing pub, with a great landlord. We used the function room for our wedding reception and honestly could not recommend it enough. Fab place.

Tim is really friendly, dogs are friendly and cute 😍

Very welcoming and great place for a game of pool 👍

I wanted to wet my whistle at 2 on Saturday but sadly they don't open til 4 now this day. Still, the owner is so friendly, great range of beer and snacks and pool, lovely dog and friendly atmosphere. Top banana pub! Recommended to visit :)

Website said it sold food...but turns out it hadn't sold food for 3 months. Bit of a wasted visit.

Great friendly place, felt very welcomed

Nice busy, friendly pub. Good atmosphere 👌

The new landlord is one of the nicest people I've ever met Come here for pool, drinks, and a fantastic time Friendly for new people as well as regulars Be sure to visit!

Lovely pub, lovely landlord, lovely locals, great proper pub!

Proper pub, not a fancy bistro, lovely landlord, locals and good beer. Admittedly they don't currently serve food, but they have all pub games available and in good condition, with a decent snooker table too

Great Management and good atmosphere. Lots of room with snooker/pool tables etc.

Came here with my Brownies for a Fabulous Christmas Dinner. We were having a sleepover nearby & Rhea kindly catered for us & our budget. Food was delicious & plentiful & the girls had a great time

Great boozer! Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere

Well worth a visit. Very pleasant staff and landlord, nice food, a nice 'local' feel to the place. Very welcoming. Yes. I'd certainly go back there

Service staff is very rude to customers

Getting back to be a real pub. Lovely welcome. Bar staff and landlord always welcoming and happy to chat and be friendly. Food is amazing. Beer is cheap. Love it here.

Really nice food with good service and a nice friendly atmosphere. Definitely will be visiting again.

New landlord has done a great job

Just had a traditional Sunday lunch, freshly cooked and well presented. I had tender thick slices of roast beef, the pork was also a hit . They also offer gluten free gravy & yorkshire puddings so a very happy son. Friendly staff and reasonable price.

Just had the pleasure of eating a Sunday lunch and highly recommend; I often frequent this pub and it is very welcoming and friendly with great food and brilliant customer service.

The Devvy has only just started serving food again and there was the possibility of some teething problems. There weren’t any. Sunday lunch was very good with generous servings. Two roast beefs and a roast pork were well enjoyed. We ordered cauliflower cheese ( delicious) and pigs in blankets to go with it. Not really necessary as the standard accompanying veg was more than enough. I’m not convinced about serving stuffing with beef but my daughter enjoyed it. Brownies with ice cream followed and a snooze is now on the cards. Many Bath restaurants serve pretentious overpriced Sunday lunches. This place serves an excellent lunch at reasonable prices. Support this new venture. Go there. You won’t be disappointed.

We were in Bath with friends for a weekend away and visited The Devonshire Arms for a quick pint and ended up staying for many and heading back in the evening. Tim (the landlord) is such a sound guy and the pub it’s self look like a lot of work has gone in to it recently. Loved it and thank you Tim for being such a nice guy!

Great real ale pub with a wide range of pub games.

Very friendly place. Such a cute dog

Visited for game of skittles for the first time in years sorry to say that is looking rough around the edges. Although the landlord did make us all welcome which made it a good night. Beer/lager choice ok but the skittles supper of lovely chocolate cake went down very we.😕😀👍

good place to play snooker pool

Fantastic staff & food. Very friendly pub.

We visited this bar mid December. They had stopped serving food but very kindly rang another restaurant to see if they were still serving, which they were. The barman ordered us a taxi straight away. We went back to this bar that evening and the following day. The atmosphere in here is brilliant. The locals are the friendliest people I think I've met. We spent 2 very enjoyable evenings sat chatting to the locals, trying to play skittles and pool. This is a very welcoming establishment and I would definitely recommend to others and one day hope to return myself.

We had a wonderful group Sunday lunch here and were very well looked after by Nicky and her team. They catered for 16 of us extremely well- meats were lovely and lots of yummy veggies, roasties and delicious gravy. Thank you! We will be back :)

Our barman and the guests made us feel very welcome from the start. They taught us how to play 'skittles' (which is a game sort of like bowling) and were just super nice. Definitely recommend a visit!

Lively friendly pub. Good choices of beers etc. Pool darts skittles would go again if visiting Bath

A busy place for locals when it eventually opens - this is not an all day every day pub. For ale drinkers, the options are limited Butcombe or Doom bar - neither of these on my top 20 list, but both were in good condition and deserving of the Cask Marque accreditation earned.

Perfect place for sunday lunch, very friendly staff with good information (try cauliflower cheese) one of them. It was worth it. Will go to again bones x

Dan & Ian are unbelievable hosts! Accommodated us all night and were brilliant throughout! What a top place

Stopped for a drink after walking the two tunnels. Gorgeous dog called Lola who likes to play. Very friendly.

My partner and I came to this hidden gem on the last day of our visit. We met the most loveliest bartender (Ian) who's service was first-class! The moment we arrived we felt at home. There is a good variation of activities to do while there such as skittles, pool etc.. We will definitely be coming back.

Really freindly, welcoming pub. The barman was really nice and gave my freinds and I a tour of the whole place. Very unique as they're the first pub I've been to that has a skittles lane. It was a little expensive but it's still a great place to go.

I was having a good walk on Saturday 14th September at the end of my walk I need my thirst quenching. The Devonshire Arms was 5 minutes away so I stopped there for a pint of Stowford Press Cider and glad I did. I was greeted by smiling lady who made me feel welcome as a small but quaint garden. I would definitely be back again

Stopped here for a meal with my wife. Good service and my fish cakes were excellent. Friendly atmosphere and will definitely return.

Sunday lunch is the back stop for may pubs, restaurants etc and The Devonshire is up there as one of the best. Theres no pretention but there is plenty of taste to make you want it again and again. Oh and the cauliflower cheese is a winner. Add in truly wonderful owners and staff and it makes for a brilliant place. LOVE IT

We went to the pub on a Saturday evening as it was close to our hotel and we were treated very friendly there. Our kids (11+9) also thought that the lady serving us was "very nice". The burgers we had were delicious (and we are somewhat picky when it comes to food ;-)). Would definitely recommend it for a typical local pub experience.

I wouldn't come back here. Upon entering, we weren't greeted by the person at the bar, who completely ignored us. The food left a lot to be desired and the whole place was just a little rickety and tacky to the touch.

A drink and directions ok but expensive

One of just a few pubs left in Bath that you can still play Darts, Pool, Skittles, and also has two full sized snooker tables.

Good old fashioned well run pub.

Ok sort of place. Only stayed for one drink.

Lovely friendly local place, just off the bus stop on Wellsway. Restaurant available with good food and a drinks lounge with pool table and skittles alley. Great selections of beers. Cards accepted. Completely recommended!

Very run down poor stock of alcholic drinks and soft drinks not a place to visit twice

We love the devi! Bar staff are always lovely. They have a dart board, pool table, skittle alley, quiz machine etc what more could you want!

Cider is good. Shame the snooker room is filthy.

Good locals pub with reasonably priced drinks. Regular bands. Pool , snooker, table tennis, darts, skittles, good atmosphere

Disappointing. Would not have fancied eating there and was not even sure about drinking. As it was, I took the less risky option of a coffee - it was not great!

Lovely steak and service was fab really enjoyed are e ending

Nice pub, had a pleasant evening.

Good atmosphere, great service.

Calm place with wide choice of drinks, friendly service

Great night friendly staff and customers

From the moment I met Nicky, she was warm, kind, and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, she went above and beyond to ensure we had the best engagement party ever. We had a large family meal before the party which Nicky catered for. She was able to provide a lovely gluten free salmon dish for my Nan and allowed us to add dishes if someone fancied something that wasn’t on the menu which was wonderful. The food was good quality, we ordered burgers, steaks, curry’s etc and all were very tasty! The party after dinner was fantastic, Nicky allowed me to decorate the place as I wanted and she also allowed me to use the Bluetooth speakers for music. What was really nice, was how friendly Nicky and the bar manager was, both got involved in having a laugh with my guests which made us feel very comfortable and just added to the enjoyment! The night was everything we wanted and more, I highly recommend this pub, it has a special place in my heart. Thank you Nicky and also to your team of wonderful people.

This is my local pub, run by the fantastic team of Nicky and Mike. It is rightly famous for its Wednesday steak nights, offering 2 steaks and a bottle of house wine for £30. Excellent value, especially since the steaks come from Banable's, a much loved local butcher. The quality is outstanding, and the value unbeatable, given that the steaks are served with chips, mushrooms, tomatoes and salad. Reservations are advised for Wednesday nights. The pub is very dog-friendly, and there is outside seating too.

Fantastic local that's been able to get a real good blend between being a sports bar and a nice restaurant as well. It's got a snooker table as well as a pool table, skittles alley and darts. Drink choice is decent and they have some decent drinks on tap. Bar manager Danny runs it well has a done a sterling job with the place.

Great pub good good very friendly owners and staff

Excellent pub, with great food and beer. Attentive staff and a wealth of pub games.

Nice pint. Friendly pub. Good little outside patio.

What a pleasure to be served by such a handsome older sort of guy that I immediately fell in love with.

Had the Wednesday steak special. Good value and a good meal. Affable company and a pleasant atmosphere.

Nice pint of Thatchers cloudy apple cider, what else do you need

Lovely & friendly with good food.

Good honest pub food and great landlords

Visited due to its close proximity to our b&b. Limited offerings on the menu but it is a local pub. I had the sausage which was pleasant enough but my wife’s fish cakes were not up to scratch. It’s not haute cuisine but as I say it’s a local.

Friendly service, with loads of great activities and space - pool, darts, skittles, table tennis, pinball and games machines. Good selection of beers too!

Stayed across the road at B and B very handy. Good beer, dog friendly. Tidy little bear garden...well it was warm weather in Sept.

Lovely family run pub, pet dogs are also welcome , Great prices well recommend !!

Tienes que salir del centro principal y subir una pequeña colina para llegar a este lugar. . . pero vale la pena caminar.

As a party of 8 we all had the roast dinner it was hot & fresh vegetables & very tasty we asked for extra veg and was no problem

Very nice friendly pub great staff too

A wonderful friendly pub always worth stopping for a drink and meal . lovely friendly staff

Booked for a group for Saturday Night after the Bath Fireworks. After watching the fireworks in the park, we headed off to the Devonshire - something we do most years.

Inexpensive beer ans good guys looking after you in the pub. Mainly for the young crowd.

Cerca de donde yo estaba, así que probé la noche de la cena de primera. Pescado estaba pasada, tanto el pescado y el fuese! Long John Silvers (un lugar de comida rápida de pescado en EEUU) es mejor.

Average pub but the Wednesday night steak deal is worth checking out

Had 2 excellent evenings at the Devonshire Arms during a stay in Bath. A very relaxed atmosphere in which to eat good food and drink good beer. Looking forward to our next stay in the city - we're coming again!
