Where to watch the 6 Nations in Bath
1. THE PIG & FIDDLE
A favourite for sport fans, The Pig & Fiddle on Saracen Street, is a proper rugby pub with sporting memorabilia and jerseys all over the walls. Get in early as it's always heaving - if the pub is a tad overcrowded for your liking, head outside to their beer garden where there will be an outdoor screen showing the matches.
2. THE CANON
This central pub , spaced over 2 floors, will be showing all the matches on the 'biggest screens in Bath', according to the team at The Canon . If you download the Matchpint app on your phone, you can get 2-for-1 on pints of Guinness.
They do some great meal deals too, such as lunch and a pint for £7.45.
3. THE CORK
The Cork, on James Street West, has always been a popular place to watch sporting action. It will be showing all the rugby matches on its large projector screen upstairs. Food will also be served.
