good stuff, i'm sure i can make that, as long as i can afford to drink then. really should find a job...
We were in Bath yesterday and as ever we rated both the Bell and Star as excellent. The Porter was well sound both for beer and veggie food. We liked the Raven but were disappointed the pies weren't available at the time we went. We weren't expecting too much from the Coeur de Lion but though tiny, it was very pleasant in atmosphere and served a grand pint.
Had a flying (and short notice) visit to Bristol on my birthday a coupla weeks ago. The Seven Stars was top notch so very disconcerting to read here that it might be under threat 
As you can tell, our choice of pubs is very much real ale driven ....

Just been in there chatting to the gaffer and yeah they're out on the 30th sept
Apparently is down to his bird that they're off, not by force of the owner (although the owner will be running it once they leave.....)

The salamander just up from the raven is a bath ales pub and does a really good pint next time you're in bath. It's a bit 'after work office type' though. The old green tree between the raven and the bell is really good too.

The Hop Pole is another decent Bath Ales pub, just in front of viccie park.
Bath Ales' Gem is lovely.

As I understand it the owner's not forcing them out, they're just leaving cos they're fed up of having no support from him while they've transformed the place.

Bit late to the party, but I'd recommend the Bell (off Jamaica Street) and the Hillgrove (up in Kingsdown). Quite like the Pipe and Slippers on Cheltenham Road too, but never sure why.
The Duke of York is probably my fave Bristol pub of all, but don't really go there much anymore sadly.

read today that the Surrey Vaults in between Brunswick and Portland Squares has changed to a cider house (from a wine bar...)

It's changed quite a bit since bath ales took it over!

If you want the real real ale experience then it has to be the royal oak on lower bristol road. About 10 random beers you've never heard of plus one lager.
Careful though, cos there's a whole ton of royal oaks in bath.

I think that's true, as I cycled past a sign that said "Cider house - 100 yards" just along by the Spectrum building.

I think it was a winner of some CAMRA award not so long ago. Really nice pub, very spartan but loads of very good ales. I have no idea how long it's been open, it was derelict for a while and it seemed to reopen with no real fanfare.
Sadly it's a bit of a pisser to get to for many people, as it's quite a way out from the town - in saying that, I have frequently been amazed at the lack of decent pubs near Oldfield - the main student area - and it's quite close to that. Just down from Oldfield Park train station as well.
Went to the Seven Stars tonight. The landlord confirmed they're leaving by the 1st Oct latest. Due to useless owner.
Balls. Only started going there recently after work. Seems a pretty friendly place and decent prices. Will have to get there next week.
This is my mates pub (John & Becky, but they're rarely there now as they have a new brewery too). They have only been going about 3 years - it was the cider house ages ago. If you can make it as far as the Hop Pole, it's only another 5 minutes walk. Got to be worth it for all that small-scale, independent brewed, local ale, if that's what interests you.

We went to the Seven Stars on Sunday, they had a band so it was pretty busy inside. We ended up sitting outside, so it was hard to judge the place - seemed OK though, and much improved from when I used to go there in the 80s! Very cheap as well - less than a fiver for two pints.
We also went to the Mud Dock - £7.10 for two pints, and the Cornubia, £6 for two pints. I liked the Cornubia because they were playing records!

Which (easy to find) Bristol pub has the best jukebox?
