Fronting decadent Georgian decor and velvet-clad seating, Circo Cellar Bar is one stunning drinking den. Choose from a slew of classic drinks such as espresso martinis or opt for signature sips - My Caramel Romance is a beaut blend of vanilla vodka, caramel, milk chocolate and a dash of salt.
Got a craft beer nut on your hands? Bath Brew House makes its beer onsite and, along with being a great place for a pint, also lets you in on their secrets. You can either take part in their daily half an hour tour, or if you really want to get in deep, there's a brewery experience day, which includes lunch and a goodie bag.

Go for a wander around the Parade Gardens, stroll through the gorgeous cobbled streets of Bath and once you're done grabbing those new profile pictures, rehydrate at the lovely Boater.
