Popular bar in the centre of Harrogate, enlarged in 2022 with a tasteful extension of the ground floor into the neighbouring property. The long front-facing bar counter is constructed from reclaimed wood and holds eight handpulls with a well-chosen range of seven Yorkshire and northern ales, offering a good mix of styles and strengths, including a dark beer in winter. A collaboration cask ale between Amity, a small Leeds brewery, and Starling, is regularly served. Ten keg lines supply a long bridge font on the bar, and boxed ciders, usually Lilley’s, are also available. The beers are displayed on a TV screen behind the bar, and on screens upstairs, with a live feed to the website.
Decorated in modern style, though the building is over 200 years old, it offers three distinct inside areas; in addition to the large downstairs bar there are two further rooms upstairs providing family friendly space and café style drinking and dining. There is also a pleasant (non-smoking/vaping) courtyard garden area at the back of the pub.
Teas and coffees are available from early morning together with a brunch menu; stone-baked pizzas are served from 12pm.
NB. Card payments preferred, though cash accepted for small purchases where the correct amount is tendered. Change may not be given.
