Last night was Pub Night at the Bath Tavern where a good time was had by all. There was a world first event last night, in that the page for the pub was edited to update the beers on sale and who attended, and it was done from the pub which meant that no-one had to wake up this morning and remember what beers were on tap.
As the pub night page for the pub tells you the Bath Tavern is very much changed from how it used to be. Gone are the days of small, cold, rooms and a tiny bar and Uley bitter being the only beer on tap. Gone is the “Open all hours” manual till which seemed to be possessed. Gone are the outside toilets, well only because they roofed over the back yard, and also gone is the “£20 notes are NOT accepted” sign. Can you imagine a pub not accepting £20 notes nowadays? Of course back then beer was only about £1.35 a pint and so £20 would have bought a round of beer for more people than you could probably fit in any of the rooms, and to be fair even cash machines didn’t give out £20 notes, only £5 and £10, so the only place you got £20 notes from was directly from the bank. and there had been a rash of fake notes going round which was probably the real reason for the notice.
