About This Pub
You know, when I think about Square Grill, it's one of those places that just hits the mark for a proper good time out. The food is spot on – think succulent steaks, fresh pasta dishes, and even a cracking breakfast menu that starts your day right. What really makes it stand out is the warm service; the team are always on hand with a smile, making sure everything runs smoothly without being over the top. And let's not forget the live piano bar – it's such a fun addition that livens up the evening and gives the whole place a charming, relaxed feel. Being right next to the Abbey, it's got that extra wow factor for al-fresco dining when the weather's playing ball. On the downside, it does get packed, especially on weekends, so planning ahead is a must to snag a table. Plus, the prices can be a bit steep for what you get, but honestly, for a treat or a special occasion, it's well worth it – you'd come away feeling chuffed and probably planning your next visit already.

Went to Bath for the weekend and booked this restaurant. We had an absolutely amazing time. The food was outstanding, the service from the waiters and bar staff was superb and the atmosphere was brilliant. The Piano man was amazing and he played some great songs. We ate quite late which meant we just stayed at our table and carried on drinking. Some people left after their meal only to return 20/30 minutes later to drink because the atmosphere was that great. If you are in Bath I highly recommend booking this restaurant. You will not be disappointed, what a lovely night and will live long in the memory. Thank you.
We came in here for a big family celebration. We did a recce first of all and had a brilliant experience then. Yesterday we arrived for the main event. Amarildo and Abi were absolutely brilliant, very attentive and didn't rush us at any point. Our food and drink was delicious, we will be back again as soon as we can
When planning a trip, typically we pick and plan all of our restaurants in advance. We decided to be spontaneous and tried Square Grill (without a reservation) & were thoroughly impressed! I got the braised beef & my friend got the braised beef tortellini. We started off with some calamari & a bread basket! Very tasty food, great service, & lovely piano player. If I ever return to Bath, this place will be a must!
The food was wonderful, and the staff were welcoming and accommodating. The dishes were delicious and satisfying, with perfectly sized portions. We enjoyed the beef burger and the steak, both of which were exceptionally tasty. The terrace offered a delightful atmosphere, entertained by lovely live street music. The view of the abbey is amazing. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, reminded us of Belgian life style☺️
We love this place. As in our tour to Bath, we just arrived at the Bath Abbey at 2:00PM and were looking to try some famous fish and chip. The young waiter guy was very nice. He said the fish and chip there was very big and very nice at Bath, so we only ordered 1 for 2 person. Service was fast and very attentive. Fish was fresh and chips were very crispy. Would definitely recommend for quick lunch in a day tour to Bath.
