The Royal Oak

Just to clarify, there are two pubs named The Royal Oak in Bath. This review is referring to the one located on Lower Bristol Road. It seems that some reviewers and photos may be confused. I do not believe this pub serves food. The pub is a straightforward beer establishment with a great selection of beers, some brewed in-house and others from UK and foreign brewers. If you're looking for a traditional pub experience, this is the place to go.

I have visited this restaurant numerous times. As a local resident, I would say it is one of the top pubs in Bath. They offer a fantastic variety of drinks, particularly ales and ciders. The outdoor seating area is lovely and the staff are exceptional. They frequently host live music events, which is a plus! I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

I had a fantastic time at this pub! It has quickly become my favorite spot. Despite being located near a busy road, the stylish and cozy beer garden made me forget about the noise. The garden is well-enclosed and adds to the overall charm of the pub. During the pandemic, I have been cautious due to my recent surgery, but I felt safe and comfortable at the Royal Oak. I appreciate that they offer local small batch ciders, not just mainstream brands. The bar staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group while also managing the seated tables efficiently. Sam and Alex were exceptional and made my experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be returning and will recommend this place to my friends. Thanks to Sam and Alex for their outstanding service!

Wonderful place, incredible owner staff. Excellent range of beers that are forever changing to keep your palate pleased.

We paid a visit to this pub as it was said that it was now a Gastro pub from the outside it looked hopeful. Sadly parking was an issue but we decided to park and walk . Once inside you find a normal city pub large screens showing SKY sports and a bar with a number of men all facing the back wall of the bar with half empty pints before them . The barman was helpful and friendly, the drinks were cheap . I can imagine that on a match day it would be busy, but other nights very quiet. Sadly the pub had an aromatic smell of stale beer, broken dreams and urine. We didn't try the food, in fact when the drinks were finished we left . The atmosphere was not one that I would want to take in for long . Having seen the gentleman who sat still looking downcast into the last dregs of their pints I could not help but feel that they should do the same and leave. It was sad in the right hands it could have a lot to offer .
