| Like most pubs in Harrogate this is very expensive with all real ales over £3.00. My pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord was £3.30. Maybe I'm getting old but I think this is extortionate. The pub itself was completely empty when we walked in. Cavernous with dark wood, stuffed animals on the shelves, Victorian adverts & pictures, sumptious leather alcove seats & interestingly a bunsen burner built into the bar - don't tell Health & Safety - they'll have a fit! Other beers on my visit were Daleside Old Legover, Bass Cask Ale, CopperDragon Golden Pippin, Black Sheep Bitter & their own Daleside Hale's Ale. The barman was utterly miserable & seemed to grunt a lot. Maybe he didn't speak English - I'll never know. Eventually a few people came in & we got talking to a friendly local who told us its normally quite busy. Apparently its the oldest pub in Harrogate with the lower part dating from the 17th Century. There are also 2 ghosts that haunt the building too. No doubt more friendly & talkative than the barman! happytyskie - 9 Feb 2012 13:00 |
| A good pub, but not quite as good as I thought it would be. Yes, the interior was old and nice, whilst there were enough ales on offer to provide a decent choice. As nice as the pub was however, it was difficult to experience the 'gas lights' such were the amount of electric lights on in the place which ruined what could be something very different. Being slightly pedantic, the service at the bar was poor/slow, despite me being the only one stood there at the time whilst the landlady chose to ignore me and talk to a member of staff instead - The beer was also a little expensive compared to other pubs nearby. By all means, give this place atry, just don't raise your hopes too much. SouthYorkshireman - 15 Jan 2011 20:34 |

| Very well kept ales in a unique Pub. apparently the Pub was used for some scenes in chariots Of Fire back in the early eighties. Six beers on at alltimes and well worth a look ahscum - 19 Sep 2010 14:58 |
| A good pint of Landlord here with an excellent atmosphere and reasonable prices - an "interesting" set of customers which made a great night out dazzadurham - 13 Aug 2010 16:41 |
