From classy cocktail bars and hidden gin distilleries to sophisticated wine bars and lively night clubs, you’ll find plenty of bars and late-night spots scattered throughout Bath’s city centre.

Pull up a seat at the glamourous Emberwood Bar, or enjoy cocktails with some classic pub nibbles at Sydney's.

Chill out and catch up with friends at one of Bath’s classy cocktail bars, where you can take your pick from over 90 handcrafted cocktails at The Bootlegger, explore the many rooms, dancefloor and relaxed terrace garden at Sub 13, sample one of the seasonal cocktails at The Ivy Bath Brasserie or make the most of two-for-one offers on Caribbean cocktails at Turtle Bay.

If cocktails aren’t for you, sip on a refreshing glass of wine and pick at a charcuterie sharing board at one of the city’s relaxed wine bars, or enjoy a glass of Champagne overlooking the beautiful gardens at The Bath Priory.

If gin is your drink of choice, Bath has plenty of choice for gin bars and experiences, including The Bath Distillery Gin Bar, where you can choose from hundreds of gins or sample Bath Gin, which is distilled on site in the first gin distillery in Bath for over 250 years. You can also choose from 64 different gin and tonic combinations at the vibrant Lanson Champagne Lounge, which hosts an ever-changing art exhibition on its walls.

If you want to get more hands on with your drinks, you can join a gin-making class or cocktail masterclass at several bars around the city. Learn more about the history of the spirits you’re using, mix and match ingredients and enjoy a night to remember.
