The Cub

You'll find The Cub tucked into Shires Yard, that quiet pocket of Bath's city centre where cobbles meet converted industrial spaces. It's the kind of place that doesn't shout about itself—no neon signs, no Instagram bait—just a working bar where the focus is entirely on what's being poured. Inside, exposed brick and brewing equipment set the tone; this is Electric Bear's home turf, so you're drinking beer made steps away from where you're sitting. The crowd's a proper mix: locals nursing IPAs, groups discovering craft beer beyond the usual suspects, the odd curious visitor who wandered off the main drag. It's casual without being scruffy, knowledgeable without being gatekeepy.
