Flan O'Briens in Bath

Ah, Flan O'Briens – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper Irish gem tucked away in Bath, and I've got to say, it's got that warm, welcoming buzz that draws you in. From what I've gathered from the buzz around town and those reviews, the Guinness is an absolute standout; folks rave about it being the best in the area, and who am I to argue? Pair that with the top-notch service – bar staff who handle everything from technical glitches to tricky situations with real professionalism – and you've got a spot that's spot on for a laugh with friends. The live music really lifts the place, turning an ordinary evening into something memorable, and that outdoor patio is brilliant for whiling away an afternoon, keeping an eye on the world go by. But, let's be honest, it's not all pints and cheers; the indoor space is a tad tight, especially when it fills up with the rugby lot or on busy nights, which can make it feel a bit overwhelming. And if you're hoping for a meal, well, it's mostly just drinks here, so you might need to plan ahead for that. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone after a classic pub experience in Bath – the highs definitely outweigh the lows, but it's good to know what you're in for before you pop in.
