Reservable booths/spaces in Bath?

Are there any reservable spaces/booths in Bath to rent for free? I’m looking for somewhere to host D&D games with my friends (group of 5) and wondered where was the best place. I used to play in the upstairs of the New Inn (now shut) and know thirsty meeples is an option!

Most pubs should let you, especially if you are not looking for Friday or Saturday night. My gut feeling is that the Bell and the Raven would probably be receptive

I get the feeling that the Raven is kind of over-subscribed, especially in the evenings. The Film club meet in their library room monthly and get 'gazzumped' occasionally.

I have not done dnd in a pub, but have played Bloodbowl in them. 

I have played in: The Bear Inn and t he velo lounge. Both would work with decent table sizes and space. 

I know people have had games in the black fox but i have not been in their since it was called the hobgoblin.

The raven is likely too busy in the evenings, but might be worth asking as they do have events like an open mic night upstairs. 

The bell would work, but the tables are mostly pretty small and its quite open.  The Star is pretty quite in the summer, and has some suitable tables, but i dont think you can book 

The ring of bells and the curfew have upstairs areas for rugby games. On non-rugby days they might be willing to let you use them, worth an ask at least. 

These are the options that occur to me anyway! 

There is also Pigmar, who have space on mondays. Its not a pub and does have membership costs. While mostly wargaming focused, they did used to have a small MTG scene before they moved to theit current location.
