Captain Will's in Scarborough

Didn't have food but will definitely try next time. Great selection of snacks and the menu looked good. Fabulous selection of gins, prosecco, cocktails, beers and so on. Very clean and tidy environment. Bar staff were friendly and attentive. Not cheap but a bit more upmarket than some of the other establishments 🍾🍸🍹🫒🍸

Great place for meeting friends Lively and fun, Good variety of drinks, Nice snacks. Owners were lovely and we felt very welcome. Dj was fun and played some great tunes. Everyone was friendly and we had a wonderful night.

We stayed over for the dj an impromptu night in Filey thank you for a great night

Pleasant staff. Not very busy. DJ Playing tunes that even I can't remember

Lovely place. Good atmosphere with music. Expensive drinks

A great night out in Filey. Book a table in advance if there are a few of you which is what we did as there was 6 of us. Also, get there early and make a night of it. Arrived at 7pm and the DJ was already playing. There’s only a few tables so the rest is standing room only and with not much space getting a drink from the bar or dancing becomes very difficult when the place fills up. The DJ was on form playing hit after hit from the 80’s onwards. The night got better when people started dancing. It gradually got busier but not overly so. Made for a relaxing evening. Before we knew it 11pm arrived. The DJ had been spinning for 4hrs non-stop. I honestly can’t recall any other night where everyone just sang and danced. It was on my list of Best Nights Ever!

First time visit. Very good atmosphere, comfortable seating. Warm welcome by bar staff/owners. Had drinks, didn't know they served snacks/food. Definitely would have tried the food. 👍

Wonderful atmosphere. Staff were absolutely amazing. So welcoming and accommodating! Would definitely visit again if in the area. Thank you!

Great little pub. Only had drinks but the place had a nice and welcoming atmosphere.

Came across this bar on a night out with friends . It was a fantastic place , brilliant music , friendly atmosphere, great bar staff and drinks. Lots of people dancing having a great time would definitely go again

Pooped in for a swift one. We ended up staying for about 5 hours. We were made so welcome by the owner who looked after us all night. A big thanks from me.

Went with freinds and had some lovely food and drinks don't take any notice of the bad reveiws it's a really nice place. The landlord even brought us all a baby guiness because one of the group had to wait for his pizza. Will deffo be going again.

Had a lovely weekend away in the north .and found this gem of a pub .great service and a live band .check this gaff out

What a mardy woman behind the bar! I ordered a vodka Diet Coke . I was served coke. I questioned why there was no vodka. Was then shouted at and swore at saying I ordered coke. I politely said could I have a vodka please. She then continued to swear at me saying I asked for coke!!!’ Avoid at all costs. Rude arrogant bar staff!!! Go to the imps instead. So much better and more reasonable priced to!

We were 2 couples on a bank holiday break . Stumbled across this bar and so glad we did. We were made to feel so welcome and to be honest spent our 2 days visiting this bar. So a fun atmosphere with the DJ and his wigs. Hence we got involved on both nights. Karen and Neil are wonderful hosts . Great customer service. Felt this bar was more up class than most around the area. Keep up the good work 👏

We came to Filey for the bank holiday with our friends so 4 of us for a fun weekend. After walking round we stumbled on this bar so glad we did. Made to feel so welcome. Joined in with the DJ playing are kind of music. Really good atmosphere. The owners were so accomdating and you can see how hard they and staff work to make this bar a success. It's a must to visit in Filey as there are not many good bars like this . Keep up the good work guys .

Been to Capt Wills a few times in the last few years and think it is amazing. Had some great nights in there with Mick Britton doing some class music. Got to know Karen and Neil. Will be back very soon, keep up the good work guys.

We always visit Captain Wills when we are in Filey. It’s a brilliant place, pretty decor, clean and good ambience. The food is delicious, portions size good & great value. The entertainment is always fabulous. Karen, Neil & Chantelle are all very welcoming, friendly, helpful, lovely people.

Captain Wills is a lovely place to go, the food is excellent and the place is immaculate. Karen and her husband are fantastic hosts who always give you a very warm welcome. DJ Mike is brilliant too who always gives the place a fabulous vibe. We love the place. Paul & Bev Godwin.

Here for the weekend found a great place for entertainment 😀

A gem of a place, great atmosphere, service, food and entertainment. We would thoroughly recommend.

Brilliant place, wonderful meat and cheese board! Lovely lovely owners that will help you with anything including charging my phone and giving me a number for a possible job lead, thankyou Karen!!!!

Amazing place with the best hospitality!!

Great service and the food is excellent

Lovely people & a just a lovely wholesome vibe. Would recommend 1000% 😃

Great value for money, food super pleased nothing is too much bother staff helpful welcoming haven't been for a while food was good but we will be back

Nice pub in Filey. Really enjoyed the meat and cheeseboard, and a great array of cocktails. Music was great too. 👌

I was made to feel very uncomfortable by Karen last week. I am now sober and was made fun of to other people for drinking water. I was with a group of 15-20 others who ALL bought multiple alcoholic drinks so can’t say she wasn’t getting any money from us, but I overheard her twice shaming me. Shame on you Karen for the way you made me feel, think before you open your mouth next time!

I found the staff in here rude/abrupt and the place was poorly decorated looked cheap and tacky. Won’t be back

Blonde woman that works there is horrible made me feel so uncomfortable don’t work in the service industry if you don’t like people

A lovely bar . Had pizza here which was lovely. Mick Britton is absolutely fantastic we used to follow him in Leeds where we live. It was great last summer but unfortunately it's still cold at the moment and the bar is freezing so we have to leave as I can't cope with being cold . Put the heating on and we will sat longer !!!!

Great place for a really good night out. Fantastic entertainment on Fridays. Lovely food and a very well stocked bar for beers, wines and cocktails. Bar staff very friendly and Karen manages the place excellently. I highly recommend and remember to book a table prior so you are not disappointed in not getting a table. The place gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights Roger Karen & Friends

Barred within 20seconds, walked into establishment and introduced myself to Karen. I then asked for a beer and was informed I was barred

Visited Captain Wills on a couple of occasions. Clean and tidy bar, fantastic atmosphere. Each time Mick Britton has been the DJ. and what a grand job he does. Really worth a night out. You can reserve a table but have to be there by 7pm.

It was OK only had a couple of budweiser

Visited yesterday. Had a very warm and friendly welcome from Karen, Neil and Chantelle. Great atmosphere & entertainment. Good service & drinks too. Very clean and comfortable surroundings. We had a fabulous evening & will return when next in Filey. We highly recommend a visit.

Great little place ,lovley staff and food ,looking forward to the next visit .

Amazing bar attended my friend birthday this weekend fabulous such a welcome each time we come in xx

Cosy friendly bar with reasonably priced drinks - also adults only which is a nice change

Friendly, welcoming, very nice meats & cheese plate.

We had the best time, the apartment was top notch and the service second to none. Neil and Karen are superb hosts, nothing is too much. The atmosphere is very friendly and we had a great singer/comedian to ensure there was singing and laughter in equal measure. If you’re ever in Filey then make a point of visiting Captain Wills, you will not be disappointed.

Great experience from start to finish. Ordered the cheese and meat board. The cheese with the pineapple was AMAZING and the chutney was bob on. Staff and food top notch. Very much recommend. 👍

This is a great bar. Great atmosphere, good drinks, tasty food, very clean. Karen, Neil, Chantelle & Steve are all lovely. Very welcoming, friendly, helpful & lots of fun too. Looking forward to visiting again very soon.

Fabulous hosts . An amazing evening. Thank Yiu for your hospitality

We have lived in bridlington two years now. Every now and again we go to filey and have a drink at captain wills. It’s a lovely little bar never had a problem with any of the staff always ask how we are and general chit chat it’s all you want in a bar. Chantelle makes a fab gin and lemoncello. See you soon. Polly

Landlady is rude and unwelcoming with unnecessary nasty comments to customers. shame really as music is good . Won’t be in a rush to go back there

Unbelievably rude service from Karen.

Great atmosphere and service. Excellent selection of drinks and eats and treats. Beautifully presented. Very professional operation.

Stole my friends coat and ruined the vibe

What a beautiful bar, very friendly bar staff, happy to help with seating and drinks. Thankyou x

Had a fantastic night last night. Entertainment was outstanding. Popped in for food again today and welcomed back. The staff are really friendly and helpful especially the youg girl that brought us food today. See you again when we visit filey again next year. Craig and coleen.0

Warm welcome and very friendly would highly recommend a visit

We called last Saturday lunch time , just as Karen was opening up ,but never the less very soon rustled up a large pizza . We always use this very nice hideaway in the centre of town when in Filey. I have read some of the negative reviews and the outstanding positive one's. We have never found Karen & Neil anything other than welcoming, polite and obligeing. We can all have our off moments from time to time , but this couple really try there very best to offer nice food and a good selection of drinks . I also know Neil has recently had a knee replacement operation but soldiers on giving good service and both offer a warm welcome to all , at this little gem in Filey. We will be back when next in Filey . Alan & Ros

If you like been insulted and having obscenities shouted at you go here. Karen is unbelievable and amazingly rude. It's like a comedy 🤣. Cannot believe its still going. Just visit for a laugh

Karen is rude!!! The girl with the pink hair and the guy behind the bar need to get rid of Karen, she's doing nothing for the business. Your better off with out her!

This place has the best negative reviews I have ever read. They are brilliant and so funny, especially the contribution by Jason S! We were almost disappointed to have a really lovely time in probably the most sophisticated bar in Filey.

Upon stepping into Captain Wills, a sense of anticipation filled the air as my friends and I looked forward to an evening of camaraderie and leisure. However, what should have been a delightful outing took an unexpected turn, leaving us bewildered and disheartened. The ambiance, undoubtedly, exudes an alluring charm, with its tasteful decor and inviting aura. Yet, our initial excitement was short-lived, marred by an incident that left us utterly confounded. As we savored our drinks and engaged in animated conversations, an abrupt encounter with the owner cast a shadow over our otherwise enjoyable evening. In a manner both puzzling and perplexing, the owner elected to eject us from the premises without apparent reason or provocation. This abrupt expulsion left us grappling for an explanation, as we had exhibited nothing but courtesy and respect throughout our time at the establishment. It is with a heavy heart that I pen this review, reflecting not only upon the unfortunate occurrence itself but also the tarnished memory it has left behind. The bewildering treatment we encountered stands in stark contrast to the inclusive and hospitable atmosphere that reputable bars strive to cultivate. It is my sincere hope that this incident remains an anomaly rather than a testament to the establishment's standard operating procedure. The eloquent exchange of dialogue and the harmonious interplay of diverse patrons are the cornerstones of any memorable bar experience, elements that regrettably were absent during our visit. While the allure of Captain Wills may entice others to experience its charm, I cannot in good conscience endorse an establishment where the proprietorial whim takes precedence over fair and respectful customer interaction. As a patron who values the enrichment of memorable moments, it is with reluctance that I recount this disheartening encounter. May future patrons find themselves blessed with more favorable and congenial experiences.

Venue was great but hospitality was atrocious, blonde haired woman was nothing but rude and obnoxious after us spending £30 on 4 drinks she insulted us by telling us it wasn’t a waiting room because two pregnant women didn’t want a drink…..avoid at all costs

Karen the landlady is nothing but rude she needs a course in customer service…avoid at all costs

I heard that the land 'lady' was annoyed that I hadn't let them know I was attending,silly me! I thought it was a pub! Didn't know I'd need an appointment,shan't be darkening your doors again,shame as the music was good (Paul Tilly) Left a nasty taste in my mouth,shame on you for alerting me to your unkind comment through another customer,hospitable you aren't.

Lovely little place but too small

I have not eaten here as yet, so I can not comment, but it's a lovely cosy bar with good service and weekend entertainment 😀

Lovely atmosphere , amazing owners, staff, food , cocktails and entertainment. Came for friends 50 th birthday and they could not do enough. Made to feel very welcome by locals . Owner so kind she even leant us an umbrella (which we are returning!) We will be back , see you soon

Love this place, lovely atmosphere, delicious food, great music with DJ who can read the audience, love the live music too, who sings something to suit everyone, lovely staff who are very attentive and make sure your served straight away and clean tables as soon as people leave.

Well Captain Karen struck again, she never fails to be rude to her customers does she. The food was absolutely appalling, that said the atmosphere Karen created ruined my meal & drinks. I personally feel this lady should learn some manners & respect or perhaps consider working in a different environment where she doesn't have to deal with the general public as she is not fit to do so. I honestly don't think it's good for any business to have someone with her attitude & the personality of a brick working amongst the general public. I did let myself known & Karen was extremely rude, i know others have complained in the correct manner too & still Karen proceeds to be obnoxious. As for shouting my mouth of I'm merely explaining my experience, far from shouting. You have many bad reviews & dissatisfied customers alot of which mention Karen.. seems to me they can't all be wrong.. Perhaps it's time Karen took a hike.

Great little bar! Went when DJ was on great atmosphere the cocktails were great and we even got to have a little dance would definitely recommend

We drove in from a nearby village for a few drinks and got seated at the bar. It was a busy night due to the Armed Forces event in Scarborough the same day. A nice mix of people with a lively and friendly atmosphere that...

The most rude person I’ve ever met captain Karen has zero customer service skills the drinks are over priced and the food is not good either when my mum complained she was answered very sarcastically and didn’t do anything to rectify the poor food

Went to this pub for drinks last night very lively excellent music and great people we had a great time!

Fantastic entertainment, food and service highly recommend 😋😋❤️❤️

There is so much to say about this fabulous little jewel in downtown Filey. It sets itself up as an alternative to fish and chips shops and busy noisy pubs. It has attentive staff, excellent quality and well priced food and a great selection of drinks. We recommend the meat and cheese board. We had walked from Bempton that day and wanted somewhere lively but not too loud. The music was great and the noise level just perfect; lots of folks having fun. We will certainly be back.

Fantastic place both day and night ,Great entertainment and the food and staff are very good .Very friendly place ,

The most dreadful and rude place I have ever been in, the Blonde lady behind the bar physically assaulted my daughter. I cannot believe how badly we were treated and definitely will never go bavk

Captain wills is amazing ❤️ Neil and Karen do amazing job, food is great and entertainment on as well what a night. Highly recommended

Only stopped in for a quick drink, on a sunny and busy Bank Holiday Saturday. The welcome was very cordial, and they managed to squeeze us into a table. We weren't there long, but we enjoyed it.

Had an amazing night at Captain Wills Karen Neil and the team are so welcoming The food and entertainment was exceptional Had a fab time would really recommend it

We came in of the street with a wheelchair, made to move to the back of the bar, then asked to leave, told we had to book. Obvious they did not want wheelchair in the place.

Was having lovely night out until the landlady grabbed my husband by the throat for discussing why a disabled person was told to sit by the door and then was made to leave even though they had disabled toilets. Are disabled people not allowed in this establishment?

Completed discriminated a disabled customer in a wheelchair. The female member of staff claimed we were blocking the fire exit and orded us to stay near the door, which was a smaller space and blocking the fire exit more (!) in order other words to...

Great staff, warm, inviting and a great laugh. Huge selection of drinks both hot and cold. Can't wait to drop back in ❤️

Nice place for a pint and the comedian they had on this Saturday had me in stitches good stuff

Fantastic night on Saturday night brilliant singer/comedian. The people that run this bar have definitely got it right. Bars like this are hard to find keep up the good work!

Awful Saturday night entertainment. The bar need to consider who's got the microphone and the jokes they're telling.
