The sun’s out and long, summer evenings are on the horizon. If you’re looking for delicious food and drink, incredible entertainment and more with friends and families, date nights and celebrations then Southgate Bath has endless possibilities.
Have a movie night – with the best street food…
This summer, it’s all about the blockbusters with the arrival of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning (23 May), Jurassic World: Rebirth (2 July), Superman (11 July), I Know What You Did Last Summer (18 July), The Fantastic Four: First Step (25 July) and Freakier Friday (8 August). Everyman Cinema is the place to see them all. Book your seats here.
Then head to Burger King, Prezzo, Nando’s, Slim Chickens and Smashburger for pasta and pizza, burgers, chicken tenders, fries and shakes.
Best places for group dinners out
Giraffe will keep everyone happy with dishes inspired from around the world: flatbread and Turkish yoghurt, loaded fries, katsu curry, Korean barbecue chicken, cod and chips and burgers.
Thaikhun brings the street food taste of Bangkok to Bath with vegan lamb massaman, chicken satay skewers, panang curry and incredible cocktails (two for £14 Sunday to Thursday); they also run a cooking school if you fancy learning how to create the perfect Thai curry together.
Comptoir Libanais is all about huge sharing plates of couscous, griddled mains, salads and dipping mezze (their Feast menu has huge plates of pan-roasted salmon and mixed grills of lamb and chicken wings, chicken taouk with salad and vermicelli rice for £37.50pp).
Go shopping before dinner and drinks
Open until 6pm every day (5pm on Sunday), explore brilliant fashion brands including Zara, Urban Outfitters, H&M, Hollister, Fat Face, Levi’s, Lululemon, Oliver Bonas, Sosandar, The North Face and Tommy Hilfiger. Out with your other half on a special celebration? Take some time to check out watch specialists at Breitling and Tag Heuer.
Best places for drinks with friends
Brewdog is the laidback place with mates (check out their packed calendar with Wings Wednesdays – including a challenge to win special prizes – and Happy Hours from 4pm-7pm every day plus two-for-one cocktails). They also run craft beer schools, have 25% off for students and, if it’s your birthday, you can drink for free. Plus, they have amazing menus of burgers and tacos too and special parties for dogs.
With live sports (this summer’s biggest moments include Wimbledon, women’s UEFA Euros 2025 and Tour de France) and a huge roof terrace, Ludo Sports Bar and Kitchen is one of those places you need to know about once the sun comes out. Enjoy great food, beer and wine and a lively atmosphere – plus you can book tables.
Be At One is great for drinks and special offers including special packages of cocktails, beer and prosecco (ideal if you’re organising a night out) while Juno is the place to go for pool, great music and slushy cocktails (open until midnight every night and 1am on Fridays and Saturdays).
A great spot for date night
Want somewhere? Head to Cosy Club for drinks and dinner (served 5pm-10pm) in their gorgeous chandelier-filled surroundings with celebration and party menus for one-off occasions (£25.95pp). King Prawn Massaman Curry, Panko-Crusted Cod & Chips, steaks and burgers with incredible cocktails, wine and beer make this a go-to place.
Pizza and prosecco
For something a bit more relaxed, you can’t go wrong with delicious sourdough pizzas, beer or a glass of red wine at Franco Manca. For sunny evenings, they’ve got outdoor seating and seasonal specials. Download the Pizza Express app for incredible offers and menus filled with their signature classic pizzas, goat’s cheese and beetroot buddha bowls, incredible desserts (Biscoff Billionaire’s Sundae, anyone?) and Aperol spritzes.
Share a sweet treat
If you just want an evening to hang together, then pick up something sweet and delicious at Bubble CiTea, Chandos Deli, Hotel Chocolat or Krispy Kreme.
Don’t miss our beautiful summer installation
We’re partnering with the Bath River Line and Festival of Nature on the 2025 theme of ‘water’ – creating a ‘river’ throughout SouthGate Bath to raise awareness of the Bath River Line project, and the importance of the River Avon to the city.
The installation will feature an overhead ‘river’ ribbon canopy, wicker sculptures of river animals created by a local artist and school children, educational floor vinyls, and a giant recycling ‘fish’ – encouraging you to donate their used plastic bottles to be recycled. The Bath River Line team will also be repurposing our Giving Box to take donations throughout the summer. (There will also be crafting sessions in local schools to create some of the wicker sculptures.)
It’s easy to get to SouthGate Bath via car and public transport (find out more here) plus we have easy parking. Follow us @southgate_bath; sign up for the latest news here
