The Grapes

Tucked away on Westgate Street, The Grapes isn’t just one of Bath’s oldest pubs – it’s one of its most iconic. First pouring pints in the 1700s and recently reimagined, The Grapes is a time capsule wrapped in candlelight, where history oozes from the Jacobean ceiling beams and every drink feels like a toast to centuries past. But this is no museum piece – it's a living, breathing celebration of culture, conversation, and craft. With locally sourced ales, soul-stirring live music, and the hidden gem that is the Bar of Angels upstairs, The Grapes offers an experience that’s as unique as the city it calls home. “This place has always had a certain magic to it – you feel it the moment you walk in,” says owner Ellie. “We just try to honour that, while adding a few stories of our own.” From intimate gigs to artist showcases, from warming winter fires to spirited summer evenings, The Grapes is a love letter to Bath’s independent spirit — past, present, and future.
