1. Take tea
Afternoon tea has long been a popular pastime in Bath and the tradition is still very much alive in the city today. The stylish No.15 Great Pulteney offers afternoon tea in an eclectic setting or experience the ultimate in Georgia refinement in the famous Pump Room. The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa and The Bath Priory Hotel are wonderful five-star options, or step back in time at the Jane Austen Regency Tea Rooms.
Spread over two floors, the Canary Gin and Wine bar is the go-to destination in Bath for gin lovers as its home to the famous Bath Gin Company. The recipe for the eponymous spirit was developed in Bath and derives from the combination of Kaffir lime leaf, wormwood and liquorice. This ‘gin of a different persuasion is used to create The Canary’s signature cocktails.
Start on the ground floor Gin Bar before heading upstairs to the Martini bar to sip on a cocktail crafted by master mixologist Tom Pople. Never fear if gin is not your tipple, the well stocked bars have alternative spirits, wines and beers to sip on.
