Bath & Borders Branch Pub of the Year 2014. Purchased by 536 of its regulars, fans and staff following a community buy-out in 2013. The Bell offers five regular ales, plus one or two ever changing guests from local micros. Live music is a mainstay of the pub with bands playing Monday and Wednesday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes. Open mic night on Thursdays. The interior is made up a long main bar and a number of seating areas whilst the wall space inside is taken up by posters for local events. Other features include bar billiards, table football, pool, board games and even a tiny launderette. At the back of the pub is the Back Bar, which acts as a separate room for music, with open-mic nights on Thursday nights, and a function room.
