Eating, drinking and nightlife

Bath has a reputation for gourmet cuisine, even if too many of the town's
restaurants
do over-exploit the period trappings. In the less exalted regions of the price scale, there are several decent, inexpensive places to eat, and coffee shops and snack bars are ubiquitous in the centre.
For concerts, gigs and other events, refer to Venue , the fortnightly listings magazine (A?1.90). Theatre and ballet fans should check out what's showing at the Theatre Royal on Sawclose (tel 01225/448844), which stages more experimental productions in the Ustinov Studio. Bath also has a great range of festivals throughout the year, offering talks, gigs and other events in often sumptuous surroundings, notably the Bath International Music Festival ( ), held between mid-May and June and featuring jazz, classical and World Music; the Bath Fringe Festival ( ), running from the end of May to mid-June, with the accent on art, theatre and music, and Bath Literature Festival ( ), taking place over ten days in Feb/March. For further information on each, check out the individual websites, or call 01225/463362.
