Who We Are

The Bell is a historic free house and music pub on the edge of Bath city centre: it is owned by around 650 of its customers, fans and workers under IPS CoOperative rules. We finally bought the pub on July 2nd 2013. We have live music three times a week ranging from jazz to blues to folk to other things- check out the free band listings and What's On page, open mic nights on Thursday, plus DJ nights at the weekend - always free!

We stock seven real ales plus two guest ales. We are in the Guardian and Observer guides to summer pubs as well as the Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, the Good Beer Guide and Le Guide du Routard.

We have live music 3 to 4 days a week. DJ sets, bar billiards (Mon - Weds), chess, backgammon, free wi-fi, a wood burning stove, and pizza in the garden on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

The Bell Inn is a Living Wage employer accredited by The Living Wage Foundation. The real Living Wage is based on the cost of living and is voluntarily paid by 3,500 UK employers who believe a fair day's work deserves a fair day's pay.

The Bell Inn is part of The MU’s Fair Play Venue Scheme which aims to support grassroots venues, recognise good practice and stamp out the unfair treatment of musicians.

Nikki J (Tripadvisor Review)
Friendly atmosphere, decent ales and yummy pizza

Love this place. It’s reliably welcoming and inclusive; has a good selection of beers/ciders/soft drinks; family-friendly and hosts some cracking bands. Recommend The Bell to anyone who likes a proper pub.

CJ Swan (Google Review)

Best pub in Bath, community owned, great live music and choice of ciders, beers, ales and lagers.

Marissa, Chicago (Tripadvisor Review)

My boyfriend and I popped in the Bells in on a Wednesday night after dinner. We grabbed a couple beers and a little table so we could watch the live Band from Bristol play. We had the best time listening to the band and watching all the locals dance. There were a wide range of ages in the pub and it felt as if locals had been coming here their entire lives. 

Ceri Darknell (Google Review)

Great bohemian vibe away from the touristy spots, including live music, good bar and leafy, covered beer garden. Great local community feel welcoming young and old alike.

Maria S (Tripadvisor Review)
We were lucky to pop in when the band was playing. Absolutely charming atmosphere. And beer selection is fantastic too. Hoppy fruity ale is fabulous.
