The Garricks Head

Once the home of Beau Nash, the celebrated dandy who put the spa city on the map, the Garricks Head is subsumed within the Theatre Royal, for whose customers it provides pre-show dining facilities. The bar has a lot to commend it: a selection of natural wines from Europe, four real ales, five Somerset ciders, and the largest selection of single malt whiskies in Bath. The food, locally sourced as far as possible, includes pub classics such as liver and bacon, and fish and chips, while the carte features roast venison; rib of beef for two; and duck with lentils.
