BathAbout the night
The Pulteney Arms is a cosy, traditional real-ale pub on Daniel Street near Bath's Holburne Museum, known for guest ales and freshly cooked food. It historically ran a monthly open mic (the "Pulteney Open Mic Night"), but the most recent public listing now presumes it's no longer running, so we can't currently confirm it's active. If you're hoping to play, ring the pub on 01225 463923 to check before turning up.
