Gardeners Arms
Bilton Lane, Harrogate HG1 4DH
Unspolit old pub at the end of a very long no through road on the north east outskirts of Harrogate. It has some features like wainscotting, stone flags, and stone fireplaces still remaining. Four small rooms with names like the “piggery” and “wrinklies bar”. The pub benefits from a large beer garden.
Harrogate Arms
11 Parliament St, Harrogate HG1 2QU
Reopened July 2017 with the same quite elegant layout as before, there has been redecoration and there is a pool table and darts board on the mezzanine level. The lager tanks remain in the centre of the pub but appear unused. Food is served all day, and four handpulls dispense three regular beers and a changing beer.
Alexandra
11 Prospect Place, Harrogate HG1 1LB
Extensively refurbished and reopened under the Nicholson's brand, the Alex' has been decorated in an elegant Victorian style with dark grey walls and woodwork, cream ceilings and a tiled floor round the counter. The room is decorated with many prints and black and white photos of the Harrogate area as well as a small painting of Queen Alexandra when Princess of Wales. Three banks of pumps serve up to eight cask ales from a range of brewers both local and national. Sports screens dominate throughout.
Banyan Bar & Kitchen
3-4 John Street, Harrogate HG1 1JZ
Boxlike unit bar with a raised and balustraded area down one side, a counter down the other and kitchen servery against the rear wall, the front is all window and door. Furnished with a mix of high and low tables and chairs in hard and soft options. There is a big pull down screen above the back wall and three big screens above the counter showing news and advertising with a couple more in the front corners. There is waiter/waitress service for food orders. No longer serves any real ale.
Blues Cafe Bar
4 Montpellier Parade, Harrogate HG1 2TJ
Small single-room bar in the town centre overlooking the lovely Montpellier gardens, it is modelled on an Amsterdam café bar and has been going for more than 30 years. Noted for live music seven days a week with three sessions on a Sunday it is popular with music lovers and can get very busy. Upstairs is the ‘Gin Bar’ and 'Yorkshire Tapas' restaurant, a room with seating in large booths where customers can watch the band on a large TV screen while dining or drinking. Food is served at lunchtimes and evenings every day. Four handpumps dispense beers mostly from local breweries, often including one dark beer. This pub uses Autovac.
Charlie's Place
62 Otley Road, Harrogate HG2 0DP
A two room pub with a small, dark and intimate bar to one side and a larger brighter room with tables and chairs to the other. Motorbikes and Hollywood seem to be the theme in the left hand room and the bench seats have light pipes across the back, I suppose idiosyncratic sums up the place best. The atmosphere is a little bit like a sixties jazz club. There is also a popular outside smoking /drinking area at the front. No longer serves real ale.
Christies Bar
20 Kings Rd, Harrogate HG1 5JW
A long thin bar with the counter running almost the length of the back wall, it's at ground level but gives the impression of being a basement. Nice stone flag floor, exposed stonework and painted brick with random balustrades, it has a number of discrete little seating areas. There are several screens and machines in some of the little cubby holes. Board games are available.
Claro Beagle
Coppice Gate, Ripon Road, Harrogate HG1 2DR
Large, 1960s pub on Harrogate's northern outskirts. A single room is broken up into several drinking areas including space for two pool tables. In addition there are a number of fruit and games machines, and a big screen TV showing sports. Decorated in a mix of light greys and beiges with some mosaic walls. Pretty much an estate pub but fun in its way and it does get busy. There are four handpumps but currently only one cask ale.
Harrogate Conservative Club
61 East Parade, Harrogate HG1 5LQ
To the left-hand side of a central bar there are leather sofas and chairs, and to the right a number of tables and chairs. Outside is a heated smoking area. A single ale is served, namely Tetley Bitter.
Empress
10 Church Square, Harrogate HG1 4SP
An imposing pub on Harrogate's much revered “Stray”, a parkland around part of the town centre, and next to the roundabout that bears its name. The pub is divided into two areas, on the right hand side is a pool table and two sports screens, whilst the left hand side is laid out with tables and chairs and more of a dining area - the pub is well known for its Sunday carveries. There is a function room upstairs which is used also for dining. The pub was refurbished in the Autumn of 2017. This pub uses Autovac
Fat Badger
Cold Bath Road, Harrogate HG2 0NF
Single room pub created in part of the historic White Hart Hotel. Large bar area with high quality ornate finishings throughout. Raised floor levels around edges interspaced with part glazed screens along one wall give intimate atmosphere. Outside is a large patio area partly covered for all year round drinking and dining. Can get very busy especially at weekends. Bar meals are available at all times or diners can choose the separate adjoining restaurant. This pub uses Autovac.
