The Raven of Bath
About
The Raven of Bath is a quintessential free‑house pub nestled in Georgian townhouses that date back to the 18th century, just a stone’s throw from Milsom Street in the heart of Bath. The space has expanded into four distinct bars, each with its own character, giving visitors a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere that welcomes locals and tourists alike. The pub’s menu showcases classic British fare—heart‑warming pies, savory sausages, and locally‑sourced stews—while also offering an ever‑changing array of real ales, ciders and craft beers, including in‑house brews such as Raven Ale and Raven’s Gold. Dedicated vegan and gluten‑free options are highlighted, ensuring that regardless of dietary preference, guests can indulge in quality, wholesome food. Visitors can enjoy the pub’s vibrant ambiance throughout the day: the doors open at 8:00 am and stay open until midnight on Friday and Saturday, 10:30 pm on Sundays, and 11:00 pm on weekdays. Food service runs from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm from Monday to Sunday, making it the perfect spot for a casual breakfast, a hearty lunch or a relaxed evening out with a pint.
