What an amazing little bar! We popped in whilst on a short trip to Scarborough for a quick drink to warm up, headed out for fish and chips and 2p machines and couldn’t resist coming back. A great selection of all varieties of drinks, warm, welcoming and very friendly. The best mulled wine I have ever had and the staff were wonderful Quirky decor and lovely dogs helped!
I’ve visited Scarborough for a couple of days with my wife, and I haven’t found a better vibe even in more luxurious and expensive places. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, good prices, so we’ve been there for a pint every day of our holiday.
Called for a drink , sat outside with the dogs. A lovely quirky little bar. Really friendly land lady. Gorgeous view of the sea. Will definitely be coming back
Spent the evening in here as a family. The small pub is very friendly with a homey vibe. We stayed for their weekly pub quiz and it was good fun. The staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend going and we will be returning.
Lovely, friendly chilled out bar. Nice atmosphere, dog friendly. Warm comfortable environment. Great choice of drinks and hand pulled beers . Thoroughly recommend..
