| Then go and sit in the very comfortable peacefull LOUNGE, A bar is for pool, darts, domino,s, sport,beer festivals etc. And don,t knock what is trying to be achieved. If you had seen it before you WOULD have complained believe me. So if you are coming to Scarborough come to the North Riding and sample The above in the bar or The above in the lounge and get quality real ale. Thats why there are 2 rooms to cater for all comers. ROME was not built in a day. BAZNPAT - 18 Nov 2008 15:25 |
| Feel quite offended to find my review described as 'stupid' by someone whose own previous pub reviews have generally been somewhat neanderthal in tone ('It's a toilet!' 'Don't bother!' etc). The previous reviewer seems to think it's incumbent upon someone visiting a new pub 250 miles away from their home to research its past history and make allowances if they discover the place used to be really run down. I feel that's too much to ask; the only research I do when visiting a new place is to check out what's in the Good Beer Guide, and if I then post a review it's intended to be an honest representation of what I experienced on my visit, which may be of interest to othet first-time visitors rather than seasoned regulars. Furthermore, I don't find fault with this pub for being quite basic; it's often the very thing which gives a pub its character, which is why for example I always visit the Champion of the Thames when in Cambridge despite the fact that the seats are even more uncomfortable than in the North Riding. However in this pub any possibility of finding character is snuffed out by the presence of a great big telly tuned into Sky Sports, something which can't be blamed on the neglect of previous owners. As for the toilets, perhaps the owners should have had them higher up their renovation list, as they're the one place everyone visits. In conclusion, stupid or not I'll stick to my previous review- if you visit this pub you'll find yourself drinking great real ale in a spartan front bar where the seating is uncomfortable and there's a bloody great telly which is hard to ignore. edchambers - 17 Nov 2008 22:07 |
| If the person who left the last comment had asked about the pub they would know that Karen And Stuart The Owners took this hotel over when it was run down and CRAP.. They are doing it up in stages.. when they have the money. IE. Upstairs bedrooms... DONE...The lounge..DONE..The Dining Room..DONE.. Next the bar and toilets.. All this cost money and can only be done step by step..When funds allow..Thay have done wonders to what it was like before they took over.. So give then a chance, or better still do not leave STUPID COMMENTS until you have all the FACTS!!!. Still the best pub in town for REAL ALE. Thats why it,s yet again PUB OF THE YEAR.!!

| Spartan bar with badly upholstered seating. 6 real ales on offer on my visit and the 2 I tried were in excellent condition. There was a big screen TV showing, for some reason, a very obscure sports channel- not sure of the general entertainment value of horse racing from Greece. Toilets were in very grim condition. All in all a pub which offers a great pint of real ale but nothing else. edchambers - 1 Nov 2008 22:07 |
