The Common Room

An independent drinking den on Saville Row, The Common Room is one of Bath’s original late-night bars. An institution on the city’s party scene since the rose-tinted haze of the swinging 60s, the Common Room opened its doors in its current guise back in 2005. These days, the unmistakable retro glam surroundings are infused with a Tiki vibe and a love for rum, with over 100 varieties of the pirate’s tipple of choice – served neat, on the rocks or mixed into classic and creative cocktails – to tempt you. There’s also a stunning spirits selection alongside draught beers, cider, fine wines and more. We’ve got Solful Sounds on the decks every Friday and Saturday night and we’re gearing up for a new year of exciting events, delicious new drinks and cool changes to our operation. Keep an eye on our social channels for all the latest…
