Great place to meet people and have a drink great selection of beers and reasonable priced Fantastic LIVE SINGERS on weekends
Visited this place for drinks while in Scarborough before going up to castle. What a lively place it is. You can call it bar for regulars. It was full packed when i visited which shows its popularity in the area. Friendly staff with welcoming vibes. Located in front of beach which means hell busy in summer times.
The best place for a pint on the seafront. Very vibrant and loud with friendly people and staff. Prices are reasonable and the environment is clean. We went on Sunday afternoon and it was bustling with life. a full karaoke session was on and it was worth sitting and enjoying live stuff. I highly recommend this place.
Proper boozer, plenty of lively vertical drinkers , fabulous friendly yet sensible staff and the famous karaoke and entertainment , which draws in huge seated crowds. They even do complementary sandwiches during the entertainment . Not a food pub though .
A proper pub that made a pretty big bunch of us more than welcome!! Cracking hardworking staff she was aswell, didnt catch her name though but she soliderd on and served each ad everyone of us with a smile 😊
