Bath Nightlife

You won’t find many pulsating dance clubs here, but what you will find is many warm and welcoming watering holes that serve a huge selection of wine, whiskeys and much, much more. Almost every hotel or manor has their own bar so even if it doesn’t look like the right place from the outside, don’t be afraid to go in and strike up a conversation.
