The gastro pub, which was operated by the Metropolitan Pub Company, part of Greene King, opened in the Grade II listed building, formerly a bank and the Loch Fyne restaurant, in May 2023.
Offering a nine-bedroom hotel and contemporary restaurant, initial reviews for The Milsom were positive, however recent criticism was raised over the quality of the food, waiting times and poor service.
The restaurant was inviting reservations for Valentine’s Day on Instagram on 28th January.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Pub Company said: “We can confirm that the Milsom in Bath closed on the 5th February.
“Making the decision to close a business is never an easy one.
“We are aware that this will be disappointing news to the local community and our loyal customers, and would like to thank those who have enjoyed visiting us.
“We look forward to welcoming them into our other pubs in the area soon.”
The company said it was working with its staff to find alternative roles at pubs in the local area where possible.
