Harrogate Brasserie and Bar in Harrogate

One of a few places in Harrogate still serving a decent range of bitters

Becki and the team all excellent. Genuine friendly team great welcome x great care throughout stay. A unique Inn in fab location and everything walkable well nearly all that's relevant for town centre needs! Thanks for great stay under difficult circumstances.

Excellent place to stay in centre of Harrogate. Breakfast excellent. Room large, well appointed. Will stay again

We just went for a meal, which was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were excellent.

Great service, lovely food and surroundings 👌

Good quality food and friendly staff, very professional

My wife visited on a miserable Monday lunchtime. We were soon cheered by the welcome. The barman/waiter did not know what an Aperol Spritz was but, following my direction he produced one at a reasonable price. I had the excellent Timothy Taylor’s bitter. From a fairly extensive menu madam chose a club sandwich which was good. I ordered the Tradition Yorkshire shortcrust pie. I thought I might get a bit of casserole with a round of pastry on top but no. The pie was a wedge, cut from a large pie, it was packed with beef and at least two inches (5cm for youngsters) deep accompanied by fresh green veg , creamy mash and a gravy to die for. It bordered on the divine. Lunch and drinks just over £30 fabulous. It was, arguably the best pie I have had away from home. Madam makes a mean meat and potato pie with duet crust.

Wonderful night, we both had a fabulous three course dinner with drinks. Food excellent cooked to perfection and served by very friendly waitress and waiters. They was a jaz duo playing which was great . Very very enjoyable night would definitely return on our next visit to Harrogate.

We have been on High Days such as Mothers Day and regular Sundays and received a consistently good degree of service and great quality food

We booked this lovely hotel to attend an event that was taking place nearby. It has plenty of character and charm and we had a fantastic time. You feel very welcome and looked after but the staff don’t pester you, they are just there if you need them. The breakfasts are excellent and there is a good choice, we usually had continental but had a cooked breakfast some days. No hot plates here, everything is cooked to order. We did get parking but it is limited. We really hope that we can get a room for when we go to Harrogate next year.

Ate here on a quiet Sunday evening so no live bands but great background music. Service was friendly and prompt. Plenty of choices on the menu with very ample portions. Wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.

Lovely Hotel. Staff so friendly, we had room number 5 this is so big. Hotel it's self could do with a bit of paint in the stairwells. Breakfast was wow! Freshly cooked. Would stay again. Had issues with the shower but this was sorted out.

Close to the centre of Harrogate is the lovely Brasserie and Bar; the facade is eye catching and entices you in for a drink half way up the hill!We sat outside in the comfy seating area at the front of the pub and had a very nice relaxing drink.

We found this little nugget while staying in Harrogate recently. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long for it. The service was attentive, but not pushy and the restaurant itself had a pleasant ambience. We really enjoyed our meal here.

Attractive seating either inside or out. Attention staff and value for money food. Would recommend and re-visit

We stayed here overnight. Lovely atmospheric old pub and restaurant downstairs, fantastic renovated luxurious rooms upstairs. Staff really friendly and helpful. Everything you can think of for breakfast in the morning. Good size shower and towels that completely cover a voluptuous woman. What more do you need. Would recommend to anyone visiting Harrogate.

Lovely food and great service Most evenings have a early bird menu which was really good value and excellent food

After savouring the delights of Harrogate we decided to seek a nice to place rest up and maybe get some dinner. We discovered the Harrogate Brasserie and checked out the varied menu. That’l do for us we thought.

Had a lovely meal here with friends to celebrate a special birthday. Service was good and food was excellent. Made even better by live jazz music.

We have not visited her for awhile so I booked for my wife and I for our 38th Anniversary. My wife had 2 starters I had a main and a pud. The Prawn Cocktail was wonderful followed by the Onion Confit and Leek Rissoto she said both were delcious and plentiful. I had the Lamb Rump followed by Apple and BlackBerry Crumble very tasty. Staff as usual were very friendly and service was at a nice pace. Would reccommend to anyone

Overnight stay was good price for b&b; central location, our room was a bit dated and shabby but the bed was comfy and quality linen / towels. The road noise was loud with the window open but guess that’s the trade off for town centre location! We had Sunday lunch which was fabulous and the breakfast was also great, we found the staff to be a bit stand offish which was a shame because the hotel has lots of personality.

Popped in for a drink before going over the road to eat. Great ambience. Good value. Shame we don't have a place like this local to where we live. Will definitely return when next in the town.

Great food, they reserved us a table outside, and had umbrella as it was just SO hot! All good, lovely down to earth service. Hearty food but presented with some flair and love! Desserts are good too and prices are sensible for the quality and quantity that you get. Far more food than we got at The Fat Badger, and better presentation and quality as well..!

Called in here for a couple of pints prior to visiting a Thai restaurant opposite, what a great bar with a nice relaxed ambience, Timothy Taylors is on tap along with a couple of Lagers, Outside area is perfect with a sunny location to enjoy. Will have to try the food here at some point. Music also comes on around 1900 hrs.

I took a group of 13 people to the Brasserie and nobody had a single complaint. The service and food were excellent. The roast and Yorkshire pudding was delicious - I've never seen such a big Yorkshire pud!!

We stayed for one night and it was great. The room was lovely and the food was delicious. We picked from the 3 course menu and everything was amazing. The breakfast in the morning was really nice too. All of the staff were very nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

We stayed here for the weekend the Brassiere is in a perfect area 5 minutes from the convention centre and 5 minutes from the town centre. Loads of restaurants and pubs in walking distance, friendly staff and a top breakfast. Will return.

We visited the Harrogate Brasserie for a drink after shopping in the town centre. The service is good, and it's nice to sit outside in the sunshine (if possible).

Friday night in Harrogate,looking for a music venue. This place ticked the boxes. Female jazz singer with keyboards,Timothy Taylor’s ales ,good menu ,warm welcome and good friendly service.

Wanted something simple whilst staying in this delightful town having been previously disappointed by a restaurant of supposed high repute.

We ended up here by accident! It was welcoming on a cold wet evening. Luckily we got a table but I would say go early or better still book! The food was wonderful and the staff were friendly and efficient. The pie was amazing as was the rest of the food. It’s well worth a visit, great food helpful staff and excellent value for money.

Very good atmosphere, good singer/pianist with wide range of songs, food very, very nice, as was sevice

We called in on Friday evening, we hadn't booked but were quite early, so luckily we were able to get a table, as it started to fill up shortly after we arrived. The food was excellent, the staff very friendly and the atmosphere warm and enjoyable. A young lady with a great voice was singing and playing the piano, and the whole evening was a delight. Will definitely return next time we visit Harrogate.

Dropped by for a quick main course whilst in the area. Staff nice and welcoming. Barman friendly and helpful. Decided on a nice bottle of rioja as barman brought us menus. I ordered a pulled lamb dish with all the Sunday roast trimmings, my lady ordered the pork belly. Both were superb, delicious. In fact, faultless! Every element was lovely. We finished the wine and just sat chatting and enjoying the great background music. Ended up staying another 2hrs indulging in brandy, whisky and music. Again, barman was fun helping me choose whiskies. Such a great, inpromptu evening was had. Thank you.

A great place to chill, relax and eat. Quirky and not to expensive to spend a night drinking with fantastic staff

Table of 5 attending the Conference Centre. Came for evening meal. Lovely ambience, music pleasant enough that you could relax and have a conversation. Service superb and food outstanding. The Yorkshire beef pie was delicious. Would definitely visit again

Not the cheapest meal in town but quality, presentation and portions of food made it worthwhile. Fabulous starters and lovely main course. Staff A1

great service and food and bonus of live music at weekends. Friendly and helpful staff and nice vibe to the restaurant

Very happy. Impressed with the menu and love the atmosphere. We can't wait to go back. The wine menu was great

Service was excellent food delicious could not fault anything. Good choices on the menu staff offered advise around the choices we discussed . Wine was nice and cold and c we were offered various options

A lovely experience, my food was delicious, my wife was less excited by her fish , but she doesn’t like fish that much ( don’t ask lol ) Service was attentive but not in your face. Would go back

We ate here on a Friday night and the place was packed out. Service however was extremely good. We had the black pudding scotch egg and seafood cocktail for starters. However the star was the lamb main course. Beautifully pink with great accompanying veg. Perfect meal.

Had a great evening here. There was a duo playing latin american music and we had a great table near to them. The food was very good and the service good. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening here and would not hesitate to return.

Enjoyed the Christmas lunch menu with 5 golfing pals on 12 December 2018. From when we first met up at the bar pre-lunch to the time we departed some 3 hours later, post lunch & a few beers, we experienced friendly, efficient service. The Christmas menu was both value for money & top class food. I had the prawn cocktail starter, the turkey dinner and Christmas pudding to follow. All very enjoyable and a credit to a Harrogate Brasserie and it’s people.

We have just had an excellent meal, clearly prepared with great care and attention to detail. Good beer and live music made for a memorable evening.

I visited with my two sisters with the aim of having a good quality meal in relaxing surroundings whilst enjoying a good beer to drink. I have to say that the Harrogate Brasserie delivered in every category!! The meal was good quality and cooked to a decent standard, it was "gastro-pub" worthy and enjoyable to eat. The surroundings are warm, cosy and "pub-like", whilst being a cut above the average pub (!!), just perfect as far as I was concerned. Finally, the beer is Timothy Taylors, so it was outstanding!! Definitely well kept and a very enjoyable hand pumped pint, superb. The staff were good but not great. Everything was done just fine and "as you would expect", so no complaints whatever.

We were walking around looking for somewhere for dinner (so much choice in Harrogate!) and decided on here. Seated very quickly, staff were attentive, lovely food (we both had the lamb - can thoroughly recommend) and all in all, a lovely evening. There was a jazz singer in the bar area (we couldn't see from where we were seated) but that was also very pleasant. Would definitely visit again.

First time in the area and we struggled! However, although a little quiet, don't be put off by this as for the price, the Sunday Roast is excellent.

The 'jovial' lady meeting customers is a bit loud and with an annoying voice, but still very friendly. Food was lovely with good portions and well priced. Barman was great. They had live music which was nice, but the clarinet/saxophone lady should stick to playing and not attempt jokes. All in all great for a birthday dinner.

Popped in for an afternoon drink. Nicely presented place. Nice glass of red wine & pint of Guinness. We were informed that there was live music that evening, a jazz group but I suspect this changes all the time.

We booked to eat here on our first night in Harrogate mainly based on TA reviews.

Absolutely faultless. Great room at the top, no 20, had everything from a fully equipped kitchen to a beautiful low top bath.

Popped in with an enquiry after a business meeting. Whilst there, the smell wafting from the kitchen was delicious so decided to have a spot of lunch. I had the spicy cauliflower soup served with an onion bahji.... it was absolutely sublime. Whilst eating I thought I'd get my laptop out to do some work. Great internet connection, ended up sitting with a coffee catching up on some work. Great location for this! I have to give a special mention to Dom and Geoff who's customer service skills were excellent and they made me feel so welcome!

Visited during the day then again at night. Really friendly place with a laid back feel. Great staff!

Firstly the food and service were 1st class. As good as anywhere. Watch out though if you drink spirits doubles wise. £21.00 for 2 drinks is mad. I approached the people In charge but they weren't remotely interested. Very poor PR considering what we spent...what a shame. That bit of greed has cost you a repeat visit.

Found this on Tripadvisor. Thank You !!! Its everything and more that we read in your reviews. We had a great meal, all the food perfect in every respect, the best we have had for a long time. Staff lovely to deal with and some light jazz live music what a bonus! Atmosphere worthy of any Continental restaurant It was a truly wonderful evening. The singer from the group on Friday Oct 5th was such a nice guy stayed at the break to chat, really friendly and interesting. As the title says - cant wait to go back. This comes very highly recommended - blues ribbons and all !!! Thanks to everyone there for our lovely evening.

We stayed here for two nights to celebrate our Pearl Wedding Anniversary. We were very pleased with our room and all the meals we enjoyed there. The staff were particularly helpful to my husband the morning after I was taken ill and had to stay in hospital.

This is a very nice bistro/pub ,the food and presentation was very good,the beer was mostly Timothy Taylor,a local brewery,but plenty of other choices and a lot of gin varieties,nice evening ,very friendly staff

Lovely Bistro. Great choice of Beer & a fab Gin Bar. Friendly staff, cozy, warm atmosphere, nice seating area outside at the front to watch the world go by. Good quality food, good portion sizes very reasonable. We love to course hop around different venues when the opportunity arises so we had something from the starter menu as we eat throughout the day & evening.

This looks fabulous from the outside and is cosy but a little plainer on the inside. The drinks order (very good well conditioned Timothy Taylor) came with a basket of good bread and plenty of butter portions. Both me and my wife ordered the fish and chips which were very good. Big chunky tripple cooked chips and a large piece of excellent haddock in a light batter. Could possibly have done with resting a moment longer as there was a little bit of oil. So large we could not countenance dessert.. Service was good, although our waitress seemed to disappear (either on a break or the end of her shift) but the head waiter stepped in.

Very pleasing: Professionally cooked, tasty food and pride taken in what left the kitchen. Delicious homemade bread served with the meal. Friendly staff. A pleasant venue in an attractive building.

Arriving at 5.30pm without a reservation we asked for a table for two, and were told 'you can have a table but I need it to be free by 7pm because it is booked'. If only we were asked politely ' Are you theatre goers wanting an early dinner?' We were given menus to share, and no wine menu was provided. Menu had plenty to choose from but flavour combination unusual. We were left with our empty first course plates for a considerable length of time. We overheard a staff member on commencement of his shift that we had finished he didn't bother coming near us for ten minutes.

Early bird - not sure how they do such good food so cheap. And the portions aren't skinny either.

We stayed here for our anniversary on Sunday and I’ve got to say I absolutely loved it! I loved this boutique hotel, really liked our room, it was so homely and the bathroom was amazing, loved the bath!!! We decided to sit outside in the sun once we had settling in with a few gins and then got ready for our evening meal. I got the cauliflower soup for starters which I did enjoy but it was slightly missing flavour, I got the sausage and mash for my main which was lovely and then the trio of desserts which was my favourite! It was to die for!! Would highly recommend this. Had a great nights sleep even with the noisy road outside as we were on the main road. Breakfast in the morning was also nice. Would I come back to this hotel? Absolutely!

Informal atmosphere and a very reasonable a la carte menu. We ate there twice and enjoyed the chicken, the cod and lamb (which was really good); the pork was a bit of a disappointment. The wines with the meal were good and reasonably priced for a hotel/brasserie.

We stopped by for dinner and was warmly welcomed in to the restaurant. The choice of food was very good along with the drinks available on tap.

Stayed on the top floor in the penthouse apartment. Had a kitchenette and balcony. Clean, tidy, modern this place made for a fantastic stay. The staff were wonderful when we got there and had lunch - we wished we hadn’t already booked to go out for our evening meal. Would stay here again - highlight was sitting on the balcony and watching the world go by - with a glass of wine of course. Breakfast was lovely too and brilliant to be able to pick what you want. Highly recommended.

Have visited a few times recently for drinks and to listen to the live music and always found the staff to be very welcoming and the atmosphere lively. Last night we had the opportunity to try their tapas and they were absolutely excellent. All homemade and truly delicious, scotch egg with black pudding, fish goujons and amazing Welsh rarebit. There are other things too but the portions are big so we didn't try the others. We saw meals from the a la carte menú going to other tables and I'm looking forward to trying this menu too.

Came here for the first time for my wife’s birthday. Had a fabulous evening within a lovely relaxed restaurant and a great buzzy atmosphere.

Went here with Sue and Mike so we knew it was going to be good - and it really was! It may be an idea to make sure you have a parking disc to leave the car in the nearby streets. The restaurant is quite atmospheric with plenty of wood around and there is a small stage where a singer and guitarist perform.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for the weekend. The food and service were excellent. So much so that we had originally intended to eat out on the second night. But after our first night experience, decided to eat there again. Highly delighted with the meals, service and live entertainment. Would definitely recommend to others and will return in the future.

Perfect food, atmosphere and music and great value. The Natalie Wood lookalike waitress made everything decorative and entertaining. We will probably go back again this week.

Had a wonderful week at this Fantastic Hotel. Rooms are spotless and breakfast in the morning is 1st class! Also the bar/resteraunt staff were Amazing so friendly! Charlie & Colm were extra helpful & Brilliant they made the week even more enjoyable with how helpful and friendly they are and my 17month old son loved charlie! Cant wait to come back again :D

While the service was friendly and my companions did enjoy their meal, my roast beef dinner was the worst I have ever had. The beef was simply inedible and the Yorkshire Pudding way too large and overcooked to the point that it was impossible to cut through it. I was very disappointed because I can usually count on roast beef and yorkshire pudding to be at least acceptable anywhere in the north of England.

Visiting Harrogate we stumbled on the Harrogate Brasserie and loved it. Great atmosphere with live music every night and very good value food. Try it 👍

It serves well executed classic bistro food, live music and has a lovely ambience. Good value for money, nothing not to like. A repeat visit definitely on the cards.

On a very hot evening we were looking for somewhere with outside seating in the shade. Having had a fairly indifferent experience nearby the previous evening we weren't hopeful, but the Harrogate Brasserie met our needs and exceeded our expectations by a country mile. Service was good and friendly, the wine was excellent and the food was - well it was probably the best food I've had outside London in years. A starter of triangular (yes I meant that) black pudding set the tone. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Cost was £90ish including the 2 brandies we ordered at the end (which isn't something we normally do but it felt right). Can't recommend too highly.

Had an evening meal in the Brasserie and have to say food was amazing .Excellent choice on menu and reasonably priced . I had the fish pie and it was a generous portion and tasted divine .Staff were very pleasant and the bar/restaurant comfortable to sit in .There was a young man singing ( don’t know if he is there all the time ) which made to a very pleasant evening .

Visited as two couples having a night out to catch up and this place fitted our requirements to a tee. The service was attentive with very pleasant staff always on hand. The menu has plenty of choice and once ordered arrived reasonably quickly and everyone enjoyed starters and main courses. There was plenty for even the bravest of appetites and left only one of us with the room for a dessert.

Enjoyed an evening with a new friend, the atmosphere, food ,service and the company were all great, Plus the added bonus of the live Jazz Trio. Rarely do you get such good quality Food at a reasonable price i can certainly recommend the Steak & Landlord Pie with a Rich Jus and crisp fresh veggies, To follow i choose the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was right up there with the best i have tried, my only negative was that there wasn't enough ice cream with it due to the size of the portion, fortunately my partner helped me out as she had a large dish of vanilla ice-cream which she shared with me. Overall very nice food and attentive service at a reasonable price. Thank you!!

The food was awesome.. the service was good ... nice surroundings ... a little hidden gem.. I would definitely recommend this plase

Visited this bar for a quick drink before we went for a meal. The weather was fine so we sat outside with our drinks.

Great selection of cask beers. Food selection was varied. Enjoyed sitting in the street side patio and visiting with friends.

5 of us on a meal out whilst on a training course. Wonderful pint if Timothy Tailor's Landlord and perhaps the best meal I've ever had. Brilliant service from the staff. Fantastic live music and a stunningly relaxing atmosphere. Win, win, win......

Pit stop for myself and 5 other ladies spending an overnight stay in Harrogate, staff very friendly , didn’t eat but food looked delicious, will most definitely visit again

We were met by friendly and welcoming staff. We had a nice table by the window and was served quickly. The food was nice and cooked well, the service was great. The staff were helpful and professional. The Jazz singer who was performing there on the night had the most amazing voice. We enjoyed out time there.

We have been here before and enjoy the quirky interior and the live music, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Tonight our mains were delicious, the fish pie with saffron sauce was beautifully flavoured and the buttered greens were plentiful and very crunchy, which is how I like them. However the cheeseboard was pricey at £11.50, so we opted to share it. The five different cheeses were all tasty and reasonably sized portions, but the accompanying 10 small crackers were dry, unappetising, and the charcoal ones were downright unpleasant. These were accompanied by four tiny curled up celery sticks and some past their best grapes and a very small pot of chutney. All in all the presentation was very disappointing and could have been so much better for the price, with very little effort. Some apple, a little salad, a few olives, a bit more chutney and some more substantial crackers would have really helped showcase the lovely cheeses.

Free bread was a nice touch and the best bit of the meal, as it was well baked fresh and tasty but unfortunately it slipped a little with each coarse.

Having visited twice in the last few weeks for dinner I can only say good things.

We were visiting Harrogate for a day and were unsure as to where to eat. After looking at many central pubs and restaurants we came across Harrogate Brasserie slightly out of the centre. It was nearly 2.30pm and they were about to stop serving meals, but very kindly agreed to serve us. We chose the steak pie with vegetables which was absolutely delicious. The ambience of the restaurant was very calm, unlike most of the other places we investigated. The staff were lovely. Highly recommended

A quirky setting with comfortable seating, in the centre of town. Fantastic outdoor seating, which gets the evening/afternoon sun. Hard to find in Harrogate! The restaurant staff were quick to seat us and take a drinks order. The food choices were good, with fish, chicken, venison and some classics on offer. Have to say it was the best dessert menu I've seen in many years. So hard to choose that we went for the large plated assiette and 3 spoons! The best vanilla creme brulé ever!

Excellent evening meal, very nice breakfasts, lovely attentive staff and excellent refurbished room. Added bonus of live music every night. Will stay again.

What a great find, service fab, food to die for, my partner had the pork, i had the lamb and both dishes were one of the best meals we have had in a long time, and we eat out a lot, we really enjoyed our time here, would def recommend

I’m typing this from my room which I’ve never done before! Having stayed in different hotels on a range of budgets in Harrogate since the start of the year, this one is hands down my favourite.

You can not go wrong whatever your taste, great food and choice. Ideal for a couple or a group together

Our first visit here after many years and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Booked in advance for a group 2 course meal for £15 with the option of a steak supplement and checked this was available the night before on the website. Sadly, they had changed the menu on arrival, so my 2 course meal was £25, I opted for the lamb rump in the end which was delicious.

I’ve stayed at the Harrogate Brasserie on several occasions and always thoroughly enjoyed it. In particular the decor and live music make it really stand out. It has tremendous character.

Firstly TA reviewers seem to be mixing up the two listings for this place, one is for the separate hotel and this site for restaurant only.

A cold Tuesday night in February and the restaurant was quiet. We enjoyed the live music.
