I want to give this five stars but Somehow can't, sorry. If you are a pub lover, then this has got to be five stars, it's old with plenty of history that hasn't been erased in unsympathetic revamps, making it a real delight. There is a good selection of beers (which taste well kept) and other drinks. The old gas burner lights on the bar in the lounge (not sure about the bar) are worth a visit on their own, I can't remember seeing the like in everyday use before. The walls are full of interesting things, which is exactly as it should be.So the reason I can't give it five stars? Well this is a bit limp (in my opinion) but it's a little tired in places and could do with some repairs...... and yet it doesn't!! It is just right if you're a real pub lover but if you're just going in because of the history you 'may' not be impressed. The staff were very helpful (on my one visit, so far) and were spot on for the feel of the place. :)
Was poor ... didn't have food but ordered four drinks only got half an order correct and was met with animosity and a bit of sourness when we told the car staff not serving us she butted in ... it was a young man serving . All four of us commented how rude it was and how rude she was to us.... really off putting .
This is a fabulous pub, if you like pubs! Still has some original gas lighting and features. Very welcoming and accommodating atmosphere, great beers!
I had lunch at this 18th century former coaching inn while on a day trip to the Christmas market. Bar area has comfortable leather seating and the gas mantles, stuffed birds, old posters and memorabilia give a vivid impression of what the place must have been like for its Victorian visitors! Well stocked bar with a good choice of cask ales. Bar food consists mainly of soup, sandwiches and burgers with quirky names. Some vegetarian/vegan options. I tried the Asteroid Boys (meatballs in a brioche with a tangy sauce, topped with cheese), both tasty and filling and cost just 8. Friendly bar staff and I got chatting to some friendly locals too! The pub is conveniently close to the Royal Pump Room Museum and Valley Gardens. Worth a visit when in Harrogate!
Entering Hales Bar is talking a trip into the past. It is a Victorian pub that has never altered since Victorian times. The lighting is all gas lights and on the bar, two gas burners blaze away from which the Victorians would have used wooden spills to light their pipes, cigars and cigarettes. The atmosphere is good and they have a good selection of real ales. They do serve food, but the choice is pretty unimaginative. If you are in Harrogate and fancy a pint, then Hales Bar is definitely worth a visit. If you fancy something to eat, then there are much better choices in the town.
