The Old Green Tree

We ended up going to The Old Green Tree three times on our two day trip to Bath.
The first time, we were looking for a pub lunch and decided to give it a try. The soup and sandwich offerings we both had were really good — sandwiches with great bread and quality ingredients, and tasty soup.
The other two times we were there to have a drink. They had a good choice of craft beer to select from.
It’s a friendly place with a small bar and two rooms — one in front and one in back. Not the place to go if you thrive online — no wifi and poor cell phone service.

Even at the relatively young age of 30, I’ve been to many pubs and bars. But I’ve never experienced such warmth and friendliness the first time around! The man behind the bar, Douglas, was busy entertaining one of the regulars but still found time to tell me about the local ciders that they had on tap that day. The regular, Allan, ended up entertaining me. We joked around a bit while I thoroughly enjoyed my cider and Douglas’ beautiful voice (seriously, he should be doing voiceovers or something). I had a half pint each of Honey’s Midford and Ashton Press, as well as a bottle of Honey’s Stoney Bank. They were all great but I liked the latter best, with a heady cloud of ginger that tickled my nose with each drink. While I was there I watched as Douglas welcomed each tourist and local with the same friendliness he showed me. I was devastated to leave! I wish there was a place like this in Copenhagen but I have a feeling it’s rare anywhere.

Was recommended by a local. Not disappointed.
Had bangers and mash with onion gravy, with a pint for 8 pounds 50.
Deal!
Pint of Czech Budweiser.
When the meal took a little too long to prepare, they gave me a ½ pint for free.
Service was great, cheery and upbeat.

This is one of the smallest pubs I have ever visited. It is very cozy and the bar tender is very friendly. It might be small, but they carry a large variety of rotating craft beers. We stopped in for a drink before dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our time. I will stop in again the next time I am in Bath.

This was my favorite pub out of every pub I’ve gone to in England. Small and full of friendly people with lots of yummy brews! Loved it. It is a MUST if you go to Bath (you should).

It has been said before on here but this probably IS the best pub in the land? The selection of ales and ciders for a pub so small is second to none. The landlord and staff are wonderful, polite and attentive. Blindmans brewery brew a house ale especially for them it is such a nice pub! Excellent luchtime food too. All in all, one of my top 5 Bath pubs. Well worth a visit.

Possibly the best pub in Britain, or at least the best pub I’ve been to. At a time when Bath city centre was being over taken with nasty chain pubs, The Old Green Tree was an oasis of calm and tradition.

Love this small, narrow little pub to bits. Fantastic selection of real ale, suitably arranged at bar as optics run in order of alcoholic strength. Price of a pint is reasonable compared to choice available. Good selection of malt whiskey behind bar too. This is actually the oldest pub in bath and has preserved that olde worlde charm. Locals & bar staff are very friendly. Bar food is excellent and can higky recommend the door stop sandwiches !
