About Pintxo de Bath
Pintxo de Bath delivers authentic Spanish and Basque tapas in a cosy, lively setting steps from the Royal Crescent. The menu balances classics—gambas, patatas bravas, tortilla de patatas, croquetas—with inventive specials like manchego cheesecake and fried aubergine, all executed with punchy flavours and beautiful plating. The wine list and sherry selection anchor the experience; a house negroni with East India Solera and rum exemplifies the bar's craft approach. Service is quick and attentive even during peak lunch and dinner rushes. Dogs are welcome inside and out. The cosy garden atmosphere and warm, attentive staff create an immersive Spanish escape in the heart of Bath, with healthy and vegetarian options woven throughout the small-plates menu.
Pintxo de Bath earns its romantic reputation through both atmosphere and a serious wine selection — the kind of place where a dinner for two tends to extend well past dessert.
