It can be difficult to find a real pub in any city these days.
Most of the country’s pubs have become gentrified, transformed into gourmet pubs or semi-restaurants.
The Star Inn on the Paragon in Bath is a real quirk – a little gem, good booze with no food other than bread rolls and stuffed chips.
You’re not going to the Star to eat, you’re going to put the world over a pint or pitcher of Bass or Bellringer.
With lots of cozy little nooks and rooms, a glowing fire in winter, real locals, this is truly unique in the city of Bath.
