The Bath Hotel dates from 1874 but it had a major refurbishment in 1931 which gave it the character it has today. I’d been to the pub several times when I was a student in Sheffield back in the day, but there was a very long gap to my next visit, a few years ago with my wife. The plan was to do a crawl of the best pubs in the West Street area, starting at the Bath and working back to town. So we enjoyed the first pint and the atmosphere and decided to stay for another, and before long we’d given up on the crawl and stayed the whole evening.
The 1931 refurb gave us the public bar with its tiled counter, the corner lounge and the brown and yellow diamond tiled floor. Camra’s Pub Heritage website says that what we have today is scarcely altered since 1931. A renovation in 2001 won the CAMRA/English Heritage 2003 Pub Design Award for conservation.
The Bath is leased to Thornbridge Brewery and serves many of their large range of cask, keg and bottled beers plus guest beers from other independent breweries. Like other Thornbridge pubs, Tap Takeovers and Meet the Brewer nights are a regular feature. Live music also features with a choice of Blues Session, Gypsy Jazz, Great American Songbook and Ukulele Club.
