Bath, UK. One of Bath city centre's smallest pubs, located in a small passageway between New Bond Street and Upper Borough Walls. The "Volly" is a traditional one room pub which is very popular with the locals (there is also a small seating area out front). The walls are adorned with lots of military themed memorabilia reflecting the pub's name.

I don't want to say I was not welcome here, but the bartender was a bit gruff and the locals just kept to themselves. But I found a table in the back (the Bullshit Corner) to sit and enjoy an Exmoor Gold from Golden Hill Brewery in nearby Somerset - the house beer. A nicely balanced straw colored beer with citrus notes resulting from the use of traditional noble hops Challenger, Goldings and Fuggles. Very tasty. I love the poster above where I sat from the 1970 Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music, which featured lots of classic rock and blues bands, and the Maynard Ferguson Big Band!
