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.
