Bath Pubs

Bath rugby star Duncan Bell will officially open the Assembly Inn on Thursday 9th April at 8pm after full redecoration. The pub - situated in Alfred Street - is the latest acquisition of Bath's only brewery, Abbey Ales, who already operate two other pubs in the City centre,The Coeur de Lion and The Star Inn.

Manager Michelle Spence said, "The Assembly Inn has something for everyone - a main bar for those wanting a relaxed evening with a good selection of good value pub food; a cellar bar for live music and speciality cabaret evenings; and a sports bar for those who like a game of pool or darts or who want to watch their sport on large screen TV. Obviously, with Duncan and his team mates coming, we will be majoring on rugby. We are particularly looking forward to seeing Bath in the Heineken Cup Final!"

A full selection of real ales including the classic Bellringer will be available at all times, complemented by continental lagers, local cider and stouts from Dublin.

Abbey Ales started brewing in Bath in 1997 and has established a strong local following especially for its flagship brew, Bellringer, and more recently for its latest brew, Heritage, which has been well received in the City.
