The Pulteney Arms

Walk down Daniel Street and you'll find yourself in that part of Bathwick that feels properly residential—away from the Georgian crescents and tour groups. The Pulteney Arms is exactly what you want a neighbourhood pub to be: unpretentious, genuinely welcoming, and run by people who actually care about what they're pouring. The real draw here is the beer list, curated with obvious thought rather than just what the rep delivers. You'll find proper ales alongside crowd-pleasers, and staff who can actually talk you through what's on rather than just pointing at a pump.
