About This Pub
You know, chatting about Opium Bar feels like sharing a good yarn over a pint – it's one of those places in Bath that really hits the mark for a memorable evening. The atmosphere is spot on, all cosy and intimate, which makes it ideal for catching up with mates or spicing up a special event like a hen party in their secret room; I love how it creates that perfect buzz without feeling overwhelming. The staff are genuinely brilliant, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really elevates the whole experience. And the cocktails? They're a treat – creative mixes that taste fantastic and leave you wanting another round. On the flip side, it's a bit of a faff having to head to the bar for orders when you'd rather stay put, and don't forget your ID or you might be turned away, which can put a dampener on things if you're not prepared. Overall, it's a solid choice for cocktail enthusiasts, with more highs than lows, but it's always good to go in with eyes wide open so you can make the most of it.

Opium bar secret room was a delight to add as a stop to our group girls weekend.
The room was very atmospheric and created a cosy intimate vibe for our Karaoke session. We had a well stocked private bar within the room and two exceptional hosts who couldn't do enough for us during our visit.
Thanks for making it so enjoyable lads.
we visited tonight as a wedding party completely random, with the idea of just a couple of drinks and we’d move on.
safe to say, after 4 hours and an endless amount of laughing it was THE perfect end to an amazing day.
Molly & Theo were utterly amazing, they really were the reason we stayed aslong as we did. so thank you guys for making our evening SO much more enjoyable, from the jokes, laughter and even accommodating their first dance you really did too their amazing day.
13/10, would recommend.
I dislike that you have to go up and order your drinks at the bar, this place is set up for table service. That being said, the service was great, very friendly, and lovely vibe in the place, perfect on a winter night. Creative and yummy cocktails.
We went in there for after dinner drinks. We were asked fir id, which I didn’t except so please carry id if you plan to visit. The staff was sweet, even gave me free birthday shots. I tried the ruby rose which was a hit. The sitting is very cosy and unique. Interior and bold and quirky giving the place a very one of its kind vibe. Can definitely visit with friends
Came in by myself and had 3 cocktails. Staff was very friendly and were happy to have a conversion. Best cocktail bar ive been to.
