Real Fire, Beer Garden

Alex & Debbie outside the White Lion (well you can
just about see them to the right of the door!), May 1999

A very small old city centre free house that serves several local real ales including Wickwar Coopers WPA (abv. 3.5%), a light, citrus fruity summer session beer. It's a good place to stop for a quick pint of beer at a very reasonable price. We always go there before a concert at the Colston Hall which is less than 5 minutes walk away. Quite a comfortable interior with pine-panelled walls. There's also a couple of tables and chairs outside where we enjoyed out pints opposite the cenotaph and large giant roundabout thing.

On cold winter nights the wood-burning stove soon warms you up. Gents be aware, the way to the loos involves travelling down a tight metal spiral staircase. If you're tall, watch your head!

The Lost Pubs of Bath,
k Elliott & A Swift, 2005

The triumphant conclusion to the 'Bath Pubs' trilogy is a celebration of Bath's lost pubs. Join such luminaries as Dr Johnson, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen, along with a motley array of coachmen, policemen, harlots, vagabonds and ne'er-do-wells, as they wander from grand coaching inn to humble alehouse, from refined pleasure garden to squalid knocking shop. The one thing all their ports of call have in common is that, in every case, last orders have been called for ever.
