The Star Inn in Bath and North East Somerset

Love the star, a proper pub serving great beer in a traditional setting

Decent pub at a good location. Bartender had a weird attitude, like he was too cool for me, or couldn’t be bothered. Or rather he interacted with me as though I was annoying him, or taking time away from the conversation he was having with another patron. Also, I ordered a half, but got a pint. Don’t know how you can confuse the two. Whatever. Won’t go back.

Great pub like pubs used to be.

Best pub in bath. A hidden gem.

Lovely old pub on outskirts of the town. Good choice of ale for my other half. Had a couple of (really nice) rolls Lots of different wood panelled rooms to sit in. Plenty of character. Very quiet though for a Fri afternoon. Could have done with some background music.

Welcoming little pub with a good range of beers 🍻!

Lovely pint of well kept Osset Butterfly. Absolutely beautiful old interior full of nooks and crannies.Fab!

Not eaten there (yet) but a great place to meet up and Bass on tap or in 4 pint jugs! Staff great and nice feel to the place. A proper 'drinkers' pub! Go regularly, you won't regret it! 😁

One of the absolute best proper traditional pubs in Bath. Used to live right around the corner and it was always a welcome stop off in winter for a proper pint and a game of cards. We will miss being neighbours!

Wonderful place, a proper old school pub

Beautiful pub for a chill, local experience in Bath

It's almost like witnessing the death of the Great British Boozer and most likely not though the greed of the landlord but the greed of the brewery it's just too expensive. A once great pub with the Simple British pub charm it's just not worth more then a quick pint unless you have deep pockets. Service wasnt exceptional either more of a what do you want here it is kind of approach.

A rare old pub serving real ale. A list of nos is what sets this place apart... No food, no cocktails, no juke box, no slot machines, no nonsense, no clutter, no rowdy behaviour. The barman was friendly and knowledgeable about the ales. We went early evening anf there were not many other customers. This would be my local that I visited regularly, if I wanted to drive 2 hours. Bring back more of these genuine pubs.

What a great old worldly pub. A few small rooms all with wood panelling and glass partitions. Old type fireplaces. Wooden floors throughout. Tap beers and real ales available. It's really like going back in time, brilliant. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Old type bench seats. Beer was good. Great visit.

For a very traditional English pub, The Star Inn is a great choice. Obviously the most important part is the beer and that was first class! I think it had three or maybe four beers on the night we were there and all of them were delicious! It looked like it also had a very good stock of gins, but not sure of anything else. The staff were friendly and efficient without being obsequious.

Good old fashion pub, not tarted up. Good beer. Would recommend

Classic British pub with tons of charm and friendly staff.

John's rolls are the business. Traditional old English pub

One of the go-to places in Bath. Not in the centre but always worth a walk.

Very nice English pub , friendly staff and great atmosphere

Gorgeous wood panelled pub with incredibly friendly staff and locals and a good range of drinks. Definitely worth a visit in Bath!

Amazing place, so glad I got a chance to stop in. Strong range of ales. Chatted with the owners who are lovely and who showed me how they get their unique and famous barrels of Bass in. Obviously a great place for locals. How a pub should be!

We loved it at The Star, a traditional, no frills pub with tonnes of character.

Best pub in bath. Steeped in history. Good atmosphere. Great beer

It's a nice pub old fashion good beer draught bass cider lager nice cheese and onion rolls it gets busy in the evening it's worth a visit if you are visiting bath

Just a real, proper, pub. Beer as it really should be. No gimmicks just great beers

Just as pubs used to and u wish they still were 2 roaring fires and great selection of beers and ciders

We came here to sing carols on Christmas eve, this pub is every bit as special as I've been told. Lovely crowd, service and atmosphere

Proper beer in a traditional pub 🍺

One of the very best pubs in Britain.

First ever visit.... Defo not the last....

Great real ale at reasonable price. Interesting old pub

Great old style pub. Nothing changed for 200 years, no tv, no piped music, no fruit machines. Firs in the winter, Bass straight from the barrel. A must visit f you're visiting Bath and like unchanged pubs, with good beer and conversation.

A rare thing - a proper pub. A gem. Real ale - in a pint mug, or a 4-pint jug. Take your pick 😀🍻

Classic, traditional boozer. Very cosy, great beer, and a great pint of very hard to find Bass straight from the barrel. Very friendly staff. No music and food, which is great - you come here to chat and enjoy some drinks!

Loved this little traditional pub. Oozes an abundance of worn charm. Had a great conversation with one of the locals. A small selection of cask ale.

The bass is fantastic and the locals are lovely!!

A proper pub with fantastic beer in great condition.

Fuimos dos veces. Lugar que parece más para los locales pero en el que cualquiera se siente aceptado. Nos sorprendió que tuviera vino de Aldeanueva de Ebro. Debéis ir y verlo porque la distribución del bar es una fantasía.

Had some lovely pints bass is this pub probably the best pint bass I've ever had well done and great atmosphere traditional pub

Star is a such lovely pub in wich you can drink a different kind of beer with local people. The feeling is really nice to have a rest from your tour in bath.

Loved the piano that anybody could walk up to and play. Stick an acoustic guitar in there and I think you’ll have a winning formula.

Nice little pub. Interesting atmosphere but friendly and all good. Good service and was open til Modnight as I made my slow way home!

A dark old English pub, the kind dreams are made of. It's everything I want every pub to be.

Perfectly historical British pub. Lovely staff. Good beer! And a piano in the Lounge. Helps when traveling with a piano player.

Great beer in a superb historic pub

My favourite pub in bath, fantastic pint of Bass

Been awhile since I visited the Star (NYE actually!). This time (Summer'23), I was served by Angus, who is Brilliant! The Star is a quaint OLD pub, with a good selection of drinks and several separate areas for seating. I'd say it's a "must-visit" for a drink in Bath. (It's part of a little "family", w The Assembly Inn, & the Coeur de Lion - Bath's "smallest pub".) It's all you need from a simple pub - a choice of tipple and a place to sit. Food? I've not tried.. yet!?

Absolutely beautiful. The way British pubs should be.

Good local and traditional pub.. Friendly place

Lovely old-time pub, full of character and characters !! So few of them left..Will definately be back.

I don't know how many years this place has gone without changing, but it's the better for it. Great pint of Bass straight from the barrel.

Nice old pub, friendly staff with well kept beer 🍺👌🏻

Great pub with excellent ales. Very friendly staff

Proper old-style pub. Really cosy and atmospheric with nice beer and a friendly welcome.

A proper pub with proper beer...wood panelled walls scream....well, quietly state, authenticity. A great, quite intimate place to have a pint with friends....& even strangers.service is understated excellence.

Lovely old pub with small rooms.very cosy. Good selection of ale including it's own range. Very local due to its position not quite in the center but friendly.

Beautiful pub, lovely staff. Cask selection is great with well kept beers served with a smile. Draft Bass…

Probably my favourite pub.....and I know a lot!

Favourite pub in Bath - delightfully cosy spot with a fire going in the winter, a nice selection of ales (the Abbey Bellringer is fabulous) and light bites. Tables can seat eight people or so - and you can fit a pram / dog in the room to the left fairly comfortably. Nice quiet crowd; people just chatting or reading the paper etc. Highly recommend! Cheers!

Very old world pub good beer with nicotine stain ceilings full of characters

Excellent, very traditional, friendly and one of the oldest place in Bath to relax & socialise. Unlike the other typical pubs, at The Star Inn we don't have a TV or music. This enables you to socialise in the real sense. Could meet some very friendly people during our visit

Top drinkers pub in Bath. Great landlord (John) who keeps great Bass and a selection of locally brewed Abbey Ales. No food (except for some fresh made rolls), no juke box, no slot machines, no TV's. Occasional live music. Open fires in winter.

Absolutely wonderful pub, a gem of Bath

Great character. Great beer. Great cider. Great chat.

Excellent traditional small wood panelled British pub

A wonderful example of the Very Olde Pub with multiple small cozy rooms. Very friendly staff as well.

A really traditional and pleasing pub. Great beer and a lovely place. Ideal for wet winter days!

A proper little drinking den, like the pubs of old!

Best Pub in Bath without a doubt. "Bass" ▲ served straight from the barrel, and a selection of real ales to satisfy any beer lover. Fresh filled rolls and the 1960s interior with a myriad of small rooms, just adds to the whole experience of "going out for a pint". Fantastic.

Proper pub, good beer, nothing better.

Proper Pub. Excellent ale. Buy some snuff!

Very old pub, lovely sandwiches and good decent pint

Fantastic little bolt hole. Called in to get out of an autumnal shower. Warm little pub with fires lite in each room. Friendly staff and locals too. Stepped in history.

A nice traditional pub except no cash payments!! Very friendly atmosphere and does not discriminate in my 3 evenings I spent around the pub it had people from every walk of life in there and most where willing to talk to an out of towner which made my life easier, nothing worse than walking into a clicky pub full of locals that don't want your arse there thats not the case with the Star Inn loads of history fire place and plenty of seating I stayed across the road from here and found it very pleasant with lots of local beers on tap and the usual, fairly priced.

Fantastic feature rich pub with good local ales. Only a 10 minute walk from the city centre.

Best Bass in 30 years. Brought back so many memories.

Always awesome, a pub like no other..every night's a real entertaining and worthwhile visit.

Great pub with period features, as it is one of the oldest in Bath. Good atmosphere with local real ale beer featured. Staff had a good knowledge of what they were offering. The pub is old fashioned, cosy, a bit dark and has period fittings with no machines TV or noise. Worth visiting to see the heritage interior and experience a part of life and a building in Britain, now sadly disappearing in its original form.

Suggestive Pub in Bath, we drunk Gin&Tonic. Ideal for Drinking After Dinner and playing table games

Very nice English pub I strongly recommend to stop and have a beer or a cider in The Star Inn

Lovely little cosy Pub with a friendly man serving behind the Bar. Very knowledgeable about the drinks. Nice peaceful Pub outside the town centre with no big television screens up.

Arguably the best pub in Bath. An unspoilt gem and a must for real ale enthusiasts.

Authentic untouched historic pub, amazing ales in jugs straight from the barrel

Excellent pub with several small rooms. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The beer is well kept and real ale is dispensed by hand pump and in jugs from the cask.

Old fashioned darkly lit boozer for the locals - open late. Very spit and sawdust but very popular, just not for me!

Great atmosphere, good quality and range of ales.

Wonderful old traditional pub. Great selection of real ales. A Bath institution!

Traditional pub in Bath, good ales, good conversation

A proper pub, best pint of Bass I've had in years, nice period interior, not as big as I was expecting, with lots of smaller room, well worth a visit.

Excel·lent pub a Bath, ambient relaxat i obert a la conversa, música en viu per part de clients alguns dies, extraordinària Pale Ale de la casa

Wonderful old place, fantastic beer, great staff, friendly customers and dog friendly too

This pub is in the top 3 of all pins I have ever visited in the UK. Go here. Take your dog. Drink the best Bass ever from barrels behind the bar.

Fabulous traditional pub. I recommend the Bellringer.

Histórico Pub, histórica cerveza, buen ambiente y atención

I am a huge fan of this pub, which I consider among the best traditional pubs I have ever been! The vibe, the atmosphere and the staff are always incredible and welcoming. Unfortunately I went back yesterday after a long time and I discovered with my deepest sadness that a large tv has been placed in one of the rooms, just on top of the piano. Why??! Ok, there is the rugby, but people don't go to the Star to watch the rugby, they go for the intimate charming atmosphere and the fireplaces. Please, please, please consider removing the tv from there. The risk is that in few years the Star will end up just another average traditional pub with slot machines and football games. Please don't do that! :( Reply: Ok, it turned out the tv was temporary! (Phew!!) 5 stars then, no doubt!

Good place for live music , £5:50 for a pint of Guinness (expensive in my opinion) but I would recommend it for a pub worth visiting

One of the greatest pubs. Like going back to a time when pubs were just about good beer drank with good friends.

One of the nicest pubs I've ever been to. I can't praise the bar staff enough. They have a shove ha'penny board - ask the bar staff about it!

What a great pub, good ale selection and cosy inside. I forgot.to add they have a brilliant whisky selection, they also have some very worthy guest ales, being Christmas twelfth night is a good tipple
