Join us as we explore the local breweries, pubs, and some unforgettable pints. First stop? The iconic Bath Brew House . Bath Brew House: A Local Gem Nestled just on the outskirts of the city center, the Bath Brew House is a must-visit for any beer enthusiast.

We’re here on Halloween night, and the beer garden is bustling with students, some even dressed as bananas—it's shaping up to be a lively evening!
