The New Inn in Bath and North East Somerset

Had a great chat with a couple celebrating their first wedding anniversary. I you used to play trumpet in this pub with a band called The Cann Brothers about 48 years ago - when I first moved to Bath. This was the first time I had visited it since.

Great pub great bar staff great beers but night ruined by guy the running the open Mike music session who seemed to have it in for some bloke in the audience . Don't know what his problem was but he kept going on at this bloke who left early, spoilt it for us too

Fantastic little pub. No food available but we were able to bring takeaway food into the pub while watching the Euro finals. Definitely worth a visit

Not been here for many years. Only sells drinks and snacks although the beer and wine are excellent.

I was there on a live music night. Lots of people having a great good-natured time. Bar staff brilliant. Nice pub. Just had drinks.

Update 2024: small change of staff, GREAT improvement! Decor also updated. INCH's Cider NOW ALSO AVAILABLE (alongside Thatcher's)! PLEASE NOTE:: **CARD ONLY**..!! (100% LEGAL: NO CASH here, similar to several other Bath pubs) REVIEW: One of Bath's "best kept secrets" (almost!), this little pub serves a varied selection of Ales on tap, plus regular beers + cider, and cocktails / shots also available. (Coffee machine:- check w/ staff.) Rooftop terrace for some sun-time (& 2nd bar when busy enough!) & for smokers. Thurs eves Open Mic, and Live Music on Sun eves. Well supported by "old hand" regulars and students "in-the-know". To be 100% clear, New Inn DOES NOT do food (anymore?).. For everything else (i.e. _drinks_ esp. Ales, or shots or cocktails), New Inn is BRILLIANT. It is NOT a "microbrewery", but IS an indie pub. Reviewers should be careful their info is accurate. That 2-* is bull.

The landlord clearly works hard to create a convivial atmosphere - and also to bring in good live music to sooth our souls.

Nice cosy pub, friendly staff and great choice of cask and tap beers.

Absolutely fantastic open mic night! Great atmosphere and lovely setting.

Web site showed great food but very pleasant barman explained that they had not done food for some years! He had tried to get the landlord to up date the information but no joy. It was a cold Tuesday in January. The two of us brought the total customers to 3. I enjoyed a well kept draft beer and the Mrs had a quality G and T. We then went to the very nice fish restaurant 2 doors down. I imagine on a busier night that it has a good vibe but dead as a dodo when we were there. Maybe all the regulars starved to death!🤔🤣

Great pub ,Guinness suitably poured,staff brilliant,well worth a visit ☺️☺️

Dave and his team have the pub sparkling with great beer and an amazing, welcoming vibe. Amazing pub.

Spent a very pleasant couple of hours there on Thursday night. It was open-mic with the usual mix of talents but lots of enthusiasm. Great bar, staff really good and a great atmosphere. Recommended.

THIS PLACE HAS NOT HAD A KITCHEN IN 2 YEARS. NO FOOD. A great cast pint, though. Excellent beer! Slightly off the beaten path.

Loved this pub for a few drinks. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Good selection of beers and other drinks. Great pub games that kept us entertained all night!! One of our favourite pubs we’ve ever been to!

Saw old friends in there and popped in for a swift pint

Very nice, nice terrace, I particularly enjoyed the glass floor in the terrace where you can see peoples feet if youre in the pub. Lovely x

Very lovely pub, staff are very nice and the atmosphere is great

Really upmarket improved pub. Toby the landlord is a legend at turning a downer pub into a brilliant one. Food is good, service is good and the decor is the most impressive thing.

What a wonderful old style luvly pup, with a warm greeting as I entered,,, coffee was luvly and facilities wer spotless , the whole place was relaxing and will be going back sometime for the music ,,

Cash not accepted - uninterested staff more atmosphere on the moon - didn’t eat there so review is for a drink with some friends. Micro brewery beer that was mediocre and expensive.

Well, haven't been in this pub for years although have heard quite a bit about it recently so thought I would make the effort, well worth the "effort " fantastic pub with a great selection of drinks well priced for town, lovely traditional cider on tap and the roof terrace is amazing...felt like I was sat in the Med, highly recommend this pub and looking forward to going back soon. Staff very friendly aswell.

Really lovely pub, will definitely visit again

Nice friendly atmosphere, good choice of drinks

Good Saturday lunch and session

Staff are super friendly, beer is great, games are great, pub is great! Highly recommend.

Smoking Duck open mic night every Thursday- essential must do when in Bath

Nice beer and music. Wonderful service too! Lush little suntrap on the roof.

Great upstairs outdoor area, bar staff always really friendly, good vibes

We visited in the aftermath of the New Inn's Bank Holiday extravaganza - stock was low and the bar staff seemed exhausted. I've been on other occasions and it's always been okay but not for more than a drink or two. I'm wondering if their bank holiday event are where they shine - I will have to check it out next time and update my review.

Cracking pint of Summer Lighting - could easily have sunk a few of those in the sun 🍻 Cheers!

Friendly spot for a drink on the roof terrace on a sunny evening.

Lovely Pub, good selection of beers and warm atmosphere.

Nice place, really friendly staff. Bit pricey as I'm finding Bath is. Geared up for live music. Yeah, good. Just a bit quiet, but it is Sunday.

Good choice of real ale. Pleasant environment, not busy late on Saturday night.

Extremely friendly bar staff, great service. Stayed open beyond closing to allow us to finish our drinks. Great atmosphere. One of the top pubs in Bath

Dave is a dood landlord who keeps a good selection of beers and always top quality.

Worth a visit for a few fine ales - nice 'local' boozer with real ales and ,although quite when we visited, really enjoyed it. Visited on a Thursday evening which is open mic night (music when we visited) which was a treat.

Cracking pub, a nice selection of good beers, comfortable and smart, with a nice friendly chap behind the bar.

Great little pub with nice beer, and friendly staff. We we’re staying nearby, and popped in for a couple of beers, on a Friday evening. There was a varied clientele, and a nice buzz.

Quiet when I visited, but a good selection of real ales and friendly service. A bit expensive for beer compared to other locals, but sometimes quiet is good.

Nice beer but unbearable ambiance. Bar staff put music on the PA while the pianist was still playing as such there was two sets of music at the same time. Utterly disrespectful to the pianist and truly unpleasant as a customer.

Very nice bar, Dave and Keiran were excellent hosts. The bar is well presented, has an excellent selection of ales, beer and spirits, well done

Brilliant night, it was open Mike night. First time in there everyone was so friendly, well worth a visit

Very friendly staff, not much of an atmosphere, sparse and uncomfortable seating but dog friendly

Nice pub, good selection of guest ales

My new favorite pub in Bath. The beers are kept very well and the landlord understands a good pint. Great to see Uley ales on sale here too!

Standard mass produced pub grub but all perfectly cooked and tasty. Excellent service, friendly staff and value for money. I particularly liked the mini pudding and coffee

We had such a fun night at the New Inn. Service was incredible, everyone was so friendly and the live music was spot on. Honestly such a perfect night!

I’m always amazed this place isn’t rushed off it’s feet, because it has such a great atmosphere and selection and the staff are always brilliant. In summer the roof terrace is a gem. In winter or rainier days it’s lovely and cosy indoors. The beer is great and has a changing guest beer, the wine is lovely and stored properly! An interesting gin selection also. Great for a drink while waiting for a table at The Scallop Shell next door. Give this pub the visit it deserves!

What a gem of a pub. Great beers and friendly atmosphere will be going back for sure

Excellent choice of ales, friendly welcoming service, reasonable prices, loyalty stamps! Very nice find.

This place is so cute - lovely peaceful terrace, great variety of local beers and the staff are so lovely

Visited the "New Inn" as we were told about the Roof Terrace so we called in impressed with the welcome, bar staff really friendly and helpful big choice of Beers, and impressed with the roof terrace, loved the experience, definitely be back

My wife and I were going to eat in the restrurant next door and popped in for a quick pint and found this to be a lovery pub, good beers and a nice roof top terrance to sit out in the warm evening. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We liiked it so much we went back the next evening and had the same experience

What a gorgeous pub. Great roof terrace, wonderful staff , and great Ales. The thought put into this pub is amazing. Such a lovely place to have a beer!!

Lovely place with lovely staff and a friendly atmosphere. My favourite pub in Bath

A great find. Very friendly and brilliant cider.

Ale was very good in colour and in taste, my partner had the cocktails and very much enjoyed them, the food was very nice and good sized portions also!

Perfect little pub tucked away near the center of Bath. We had drinks on the rooftop terrace and although the views weren't picturesque, it was nice to be sat outside in the sunshine.

Good selection of drinks and fantastic live music. Knowledgable and friendly staff too.

Absolutely fabulous Pub , very friendly Bar Staff , clean , lovely friendly locals . Sunday Night live Music couldn’t ask for more.

Very friendly staff, great roof top terrace and we even got to see a great jazz duet last night which was fab.

Had a fantastic time, come here a lot as it’s my local. Drinks are lovely, especially for the new cocktails! All the bar staff were so helpful and lovely, especially the ginger one who gave us grate recommendations and was fantastic! Will be coming back more and more.

The company I went with and the roof top terrace was the only thing stopping this from being a 1 star review. The price for drinks is ridiculous paid just under £50 for 2 pints and 8 shots which is laughable. Have bought several larger rounds of drinks in Central London for significantly cheaper. Service at the bar was poor and shots were shabby at best. After ordering the staff offered unnecessary sass about the times we had to leave which was 15 minutes after we had been robbed of a hard earned £50. Would not recommend.

Live music every Sunday honestly such a good night nice staff roof terrace is great too would definitely pop in here!

Really nice . Very friendly. Great venue +

Lovely pub , friendly staff, definitely worth a visit , we will be back when we are in Bath again 👍🏻

Excellent service with staff that cared, wonderfully spaced out and most importantly fantastic beer, well looked after and clearly cared!

Nicely done up nowadays and good range of draught lagers

Just good blokes! Need pubs like this. Good beer and atmosphere

Good looking pub with well kept beers. Roof terrace has a (new?) covered section.

Great friendly local with good beer and lovely staff.

Such a lovely little gem away from the hustle and bustle of Bath. Great service, only complaint....please open earlier than 4pm on a weekday 😊

My favourite pub in Bath, staff is amazing, as location and drinks. It definitely worths a try.

Really nice pub with friendly staff

Lovely rooftop terrace. Loveky friendly staff , great selection of local Gins 👌, clean and safe following Covid health and safety guidance to a high standard. Well worth a visit.

Had a brilliant time at the New Inn last night. Think I was served by two lovely women Mia and Ellie. They were very friendly, totally made my night. Will definitely be returning. Thanks ladies!

Great roof terrace and friendly and attentive staff. Well worth a visit

A nice pint of 6X and a rare and little known roof terrace in Bath. Not too shabby in the New Inn

Popped in for a drink in Bath on an afternoon - no one else in the pub. Found the member of staff very very rude, didn't feel too welcome so we didn't stick around long. Drinks were fine. Wouldn't rush back.

Enjoyed this pub, very attentive and friendly staff. A fab friendly atmosphere even while following government guidelines xxxx

Clean and tidy and welcoming all round for a drink.

Lovely place , great views to enjoy during lunch and food and service was very good.

Emma was amazing. Covid measures adhered to, she complied with my boyfriend's ridiculous glass request. She is a #asset to the team. Thank you emma!

Great pub, friendly staff. Roof terrace worth checking out!

Excellent atmosphere and music. Very friendly place, definitely recommend to all.

Dave was so kind and offered brilliant service!! Will deffo CoMe back again! Was so lovely and very accommodating

What a lovely stop on our walks around Bath. Great sun terrace at the back. Welcoming staff. Recommend!

Good place with ample of spaced, inside & outside., Good service,& friendly

Friendly staff, in a great location, with a beautiful roof terrace all for standard prices.

Despite their claim, they don't serve any craft beer at all, never have done, and it's always dead. It's a shame as they've really done a good job on the place.

Popped in for a quick short with a friend. With all the virus restrictions there was table service in place. Asked Ellie about whiskeys and she was very helpful. Great spot, love the roof terrace

Amazing waiters, amazing pub, really fast service. Love it here.

Attended this fine looking Hostelry to be politely turned away as closed :( Disappointed as website states, Thursday to Saturday open until Midnight! Until our next visit! Cheers! 🍺🍻

Great music, great vibes, friendly staff and good selection of drinks, what more could you want from a pub?

poped in on the off chance early afternoon for a quiet drink clean tidy pub .very friendly bar staff.ended up staying all afternoon, Thanks Emma for your hospitality, will be coming back soon. A lovely afternoon .

The best pub in Monmouth place by far will be coming back lovely barmaid called Dave so welcoming...

Emma and Dave have been very welcoming to an out of towner and are happy to make beverage recommendations based on taste. I came back to check out the live music and met Ellie who was just as welcoming. Would recommend to anyone visiting our local

"6 nations showing here" No it's not cause it's broken. Yet another non event at this pub
