McDonald's

You know exactly why you're here on Southgate Street at 2am on a Saturday night. Maybe you've just stumbled out of Sub13 or finished a proper session at one of the pubs near the Abbey, and suddenly those chicken nuggets are calling your name with the urgency of a siren song. This McDonald's does what it says on the tin – reliable fast food in the thick of Bath's shopping district. The nearly round-the-clock hours (closing for just two hours daily) make it a beacon for shift workers, students cramming for exams, and anyone whose night has taken an unexpectedly long turn. It's not glamorous, but when you need a Big Mac at an ungodly hour in a city that largely shuts down after 11pm, you'll be grateful it exists.
