Captain Will's in Scarborough

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 ,

This should really be further up the ranking for Filey. 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...

Great pub, great entertainment and very tasty pizzas!! Smashing owners, very accommodating

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

Called in the bar Friday evening had a beer and ended up calling Saturday and Sunday, great staff magnificent food (limited menu) but delicious. No dogs adult bar and really good selection of beers .we will be back shortly.

Brilliant afternoon here Sunday 23rd April watching Blues Bros tribute. Great atmosphere, great drinks and great staff. Can’t wait to go back ❤️

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.

Very good range of drinks and cocktails, great atmosphere and such a lovely place! Would recommend and will definitely be back on our next trip to Filey! Owners were really friendly and even dropped us back at our accommodation when we struggled to get a...

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 atmosphere , lovely selection of drinks .food terrific.pizza to die four.marvellous attentive staff.

We have just returned from staying in Captain Wills apartment absolutely amazing, spotless, fluffy towels, beautifully furnished out and a really comfy bed. Fantastic spot close to everything and less than 5 minutes to the beach. We will definitely be back! Thanks to the hosts...

Absolutely brilliant night on Saturday singer/comedian was fantastic such a cheeky chappie. We loved his jokes and song choice. He asked the audience what they’d like to hear to make it a good night for everyone Friendly atmosphere, great staff and the owners worked tirelessly to make the place what it is Brilliant!!

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

First time I've been this weekend great atmosphere and the entertainer was top class would 100% come again

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.

This funky little bar is a must if you are visiting Filey. Great decor, relaxed atmosphere, fab drinks selection. Karen and her team are warm, friendly and super efficient. Loved it here, will be back.

Great atmosphere, DJ played some great music, friendly staff.

Unfortunately we didn’t eat in restaurant although food we saw looked very appetising. We stayed in beautiful new apartment upstairs, very spacious with everything you could possibly need. Clean and tasteful. Hosts very welcoming and accommodating. Ideal location in centre of town and couple of...

Went to Captain Wills with a group of friends for a drink and something to eat. The staff were really helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The overall atmosphere in the pub was excellent and complimented by the tasty food. A great...

Fabulous afternoon in captain wills. Made so welcome by Karen and Neil again. Shared this lovely platter. Can’t wait to return

Six gents went to Captain Wills for a catch up and food. We arrived at 7pm on Thursday 17th November to be met by a lovely friendly landlady. Seating was already set up for us so we could all sit together (we booked in advance...

What a great place for a drink. Went in during the World Rugby Cup final.Wanted to watch Kevin Sinfield walk out on the pitch. My wife's mother and brother died from MND so ment a lot.Turned telly on and let us watch it. A gent thank you 😊

Had a grate night in there Friday night 11th November. found it hard to get a taxi back to the flowers of May when I think it was the landlady who offered us a lift back this was much appreciated and will pop in again once again thank you for the lift xx

Been here two weekends running! 1st with my best buddy where we enjoyed a good beer, double espresso and a slice of homemade raspberry and cream cake! W O W!!!! The lady who served me was so friendly and it was a pleasure to have...

Great place, great atmosphere especially Saturday night.

Superb cafe/bar. Had a lunch time beer... perfect. Then a double espresso and a huge slice of amazing raspberry (homemade) cake! A server moved it on the counter... and I knew a slice had to be mine! No children are allowed.. so a good place to escape them if that's your thing! Staff so friendly. Very clean and tidy. Toilet was also spotless. Would recommend and 'Will' return!

Great welcome and well kept beer

Nipped in for a quick drink, very welcoming and great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

What a brilliant night - good food , music and an absolute hilarious disco host x

Lovely little bar. Very clean, staff and owners excellent hosts.

Beautiful bar with friendly staff. Will definitely be going back

Lovely place, good food, good beer brilliant hosts what more do you want. XXX

Lovely place to sit outside in the sun with a cocktail

After losing my phone in the memorial gardens next door it was found by a Polish gentleman who handed it in to the staff at Captain Wills bar. My phone along with bank cards was subsequently delivered to me at the caravan site where I am on holiday by the staff of Captain Wills. What wonderful lovely honest people. If the bar operates in the same way I am sure that it's a fantastic place. Thank you so much. Ian

Can't write a proper review, unfortunately, as staff were unable/unwilling to serve us. We wanted coffee but were told the machine was turned off after 7 p.m. each evening as it used 5 kilowatt hours of energy per hour. Even at current rates, this is...

Had a nice Sunday afternoon here , coffee n brandy , then wine , then chilli natcho s to share , very good 👍

Great venue , stylish and friendly , in the centre of Filey . Excellent Sunday afternoon DJ when I was there Good wine ! Lovely company !

Smashing little bar with a large selection of drinks. Really nice staff. Always pay a visit when we are in the area

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Captain Will's pub. The food was well presented, beautifully cooked and served by friendly staff. Inside the pub the decor is beautiful and not what you would expect. This pub is adult only which we welcomed after a visit to another pub which was very rowdy. We will definitely return.

Nice little bar cute lighting under the bar.

Visited here twice now. Last visit a couple of weekends ago. Very lovely, friendly, welcoming landlord, landlady and barmaid. Called in for a couple of beers after a walk and enjoyed it so much that we stayed for the music. We had a great time....

Had a pint of beer and a small glass of wine and it came to over £9.00. A pint and a double gin and tonic comes to far less in the Buccaneer. Possibly charged the wrong price

Visited this Saturday.. popped in at lunchtime and had a drink. Staff were very friendly. They told us they had a DJ playing that evening. We decided to go back and arrived at about 8.15pm. Venue was packed as it’s not very big at all...

A fantastic place to stay everything you need for a comfortable stay accommodation has all mod cons Lovely hosts, and a fantastic location being right in the centre of filey, I would definitely recommend this apartment

Called in off chance for a drink,but will never go again. The prices compare with London prices and the landlady is very miserable and only interested in her friends. No atmosphere at all

A groovy place with good music and lovely staff.
