Macy Browns in Scarborough

We were in here on our last visit to Whitby and loved this cocktail bar, however I can only assume it has changed hands , I was in there two days ago with my wife and daughter and grand son, expensive drinks and very average cocktails, when I paid I was over charged, when I questioned this I was told there was a service charge added on, I didn't have a problem with a service charge as long as you are made aware of this when you order, the guy did refund the charge, the place had no atmosphere and only another two couples in.

me and my boyfriend have recently been when we spent a day in whitby. honestly was so amazed with the choice of cocktails being a bartender myself, definitely worth the title ‘luxury’. i ordered the meatball marinara and my boyfriend ordered the chicken wrap, we both really enjoyed it, and the interior is absolutely stunning, especially the bar. even though it was quiet i didn’t mind at all as we could talk to each other easily. service was great, very polite and accommodating, will be back again if we’re in whitby! :)

Cocktail bar serving quick bites and Tapas style food. Tried a few Tapas dishes, food was nice but poor value. Drinks also expensive. OK really.

Didn't eat here but enjoyed a few cocktails, bit pricey but I guess that's what you get for the quality

Fabulous atmosphere 😄😄 absolutely fabulous cocktail 🍹🍹😁😁

Lovely place great cocktails nice food nice staff

What a great place! Fantastic cocktails and really tasty food. Had the sharer pastas and some tapas and everything was delicious. The staff are really friendly too. We will definitely be back.

We came at yesterday evening with 4 friends. It is very busy bar . But they gave awesome service with very good cocktails and food. Very cute waiter in bar with friendly with customer. At last we will visit again and again .

Visited tonight, really good prices for tapas and cocktails... not as cheap as some but good measure. On the balcony nice views over the harbour though be wary of seagulls and your food.

Great place amazing atmosphere, the cocktails were high end quality and reasonably priced and the pretty waitress was really knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. I will recommend to my friends

Top place always, although they've got rid of tall tables. Cocktails great and we were looked after splendidly by Natasha - attentative, friendly and soooo knowledgeable about the menu. Deffo recommend.

Nice balcony with great views, staff were friendly and the drinks were superb

A great place for groups or couples. Outside seating great for people watching. The food looked excellent and reasonably priced. The staff are brilliant, and cocktails are great. The door staff, Gary was brilliant. Looking forward to our next visit

Thank you for good service & a good spaghetti meatballs for son. Saved my evening, as son can't eat fish :) thank you

Fabulous experience from being shown to outdoor table to service with a smile one of the best places to eat or drink in Whitby will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family 😁

First time visit and not what I was expecting. I had thought Macy Browns would have been a touch pretentious and expensive but by concerns were completely unfounded. Our drinks, a pint of Madri and a Hawaiian moctail were very reasonably priced and served at our outside balcony table by a very polite, friendly and efficient young waitress. It was too early for us to eat but on perusing their menu I was surprised to see the dishes on it were very reasonably priced, in fact far more reasonable than most other places in Whitby. All roung excellent experience and we shall without doubt return on our next trip to Whitby.

Fabulous food , breakfast was prefect perfectly cooked , service was amazing and reasonably priced Will definitely be going back

We were a big group, couples, just called in for 1 after a wet walk, well, 3 hours later, a thoroughly enjoyed impromptu Saturday afternoon. What a team of staff, very impressed, we had great customer service, which is why we stayed, (they’re not daft) that and the great cocktails. Special shout out to the waitress (sorry I didn’t get your name), she is exceptional at her job, an impressive attentive upseller! Thank you guys, we have been before, would recommend and return.

Great place, I’ve ordered Bloody Mary and it was amazing! Recommend it to everyone as the staff was really nice and cocktails were great!

Partner and I visit here every year when we stay in whitby, I love a cocktail and macy browns never disappoints. On this occasion we wanted an afternoon snack and decided to order the meatballs and cheesey chips, wow soooo tasty! First time eating here and will definitely be eating here again! Meatballs and cheesey chips were both super yummy. Our go to cocktails are the long island and the raspberry zombie.

Wouldn’t give 1 star if I didn’t have to, 4 drinks 1 Vodka & cranberry juice, 1 Jack Daniel’s & coke, 1 Bacardi & orange juice & 1 Vodka & coke, £29.09 coke was flat the Jack Daniel’s & coke didn’t even get drunk because it tasted awful, the vodka & coke tasted awful the coke was flat, extortionate prices won’t be going there again

Really good food,and great service and drinks.

This place is amazing. They do some of the best drinks I've ever had. The staff are lovely people. The place is amazingly decorated.

Got off to a bad start in this place. The door staff are appalling. They don't have any understanding of what their job is. Their first task is to welcome guests - they totally failed. If you want cocktails, you will get better service and pay half the price somewhere else.

This is a great cocktail and food bar. Visited over the bank holiday and wasn't sure on where to eat in the evening. We opted to go here because they do a tapas style menu so you can try a bit of everything. Food was good quality and the service was very good. Cocktails are good with great atmosphere too!

Visited over the weekend. The cocktails were amazing!! The cheesy chips with the garlic mayo were amazing! Deffo recommend if you are in Whitby ✨️

Absolutely amazing cocktails, wonderful food, lovely staff. We will definitely be returning!

I've been drinking cocktails for 20 years and this was without a doubt the best one I've ever had! I had it 3 times to make sure, and each time service was quick and the drink was exceptional, I need the recipe / quantities for this milky way drink!

Lovely place to visit highly recommend you call in

Terrible customer service. Happy to take money for a big group and then treat them rubbish. Bouncers very disrespectful.

Not what I expected from the look outside but greeted by the door man took us in side found us a nice booth to sit in. Brilliant service for food and drink a fantastic night

Decent cocktails. Nice staff and decor. Would be better with modern music, maybe 🤔

Will be returning to the lovely place without the kids, cocktails and food was lovely, very very clean and all staff inc door staff were great especially with the kids.

Nice place. Owner is a nice bloke. Happy to go here again

Great service, great cocktails.

Door staff turning people away when the bar is empty this is the 2nd time on my visits to Whiby this has happened he said the bar was full and there was no one in as our friends were inside waiting for us ???

Proper cocktails made with pride 😊

We’ve been to Macy browns a few times over the past few years. Sometimes days on the trot whilst up in Whitby for a seaside break. The Service and Food is always incredible and they allow friendly dogs out on the balcony. We came again the other day and was a bit unsure due to the rain. Soon as we arrived we was welcomed in and shown to our seats outside. They opened up the canopy for us, wipes down our seats. Turned on the heating and brought my fella a cushion for his tush. Us being the only insanse people to sit outside in the cold and rain. (100% our choice because of the dogs) they kept coming outside to check on us. Kept the cocktails flowing and had a laugh and a joke with us. The staff were amazing and we didn’t feel isolated one bit. The food was hot when served and the drinks were delicious and plenty to choose from. We had such a lovely night at Macy’s and when we drive 3 hours to Whitby we always can’t wait to go back for dinner/breakfast again. Amazing place to go to and the staff are fantastic! We will definitely see you again soon 😊

A great cocktail bar. Nicely done out, good atmosphere, goid service, good tunes, nice cocktail selection and reasonably priced! Best bar we found in Whitby!

Great cocktails, good atmosphere

Pretentious, vastly overpriced, music too loud, avoid if you want conversation. Everything that's wrong with the 21st century licensed trade...

Great place, well positioned with a balcony to sit and watch the world go by.

Good drinks, great service, decent price, not a fan of the music

Fabulous bar, went for a full English breakfast then back again later for cocktails. Lovely decor, friendly service

Very enjoyable experience, staff took the time, must also add the security staff were very welcoming and helpful. Good night, ended up staying for an extra round 😁

A real hidden quirky gem. Great relaxed atmosphere and super friendly service. Definitely be back here every whitby visit.

Fantastic cocktails and food.. can be missed do to entry steps to first floor.but its a must...best place in Whitby

We didn't know what to expect as it was a random visit at the end of a busy day. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent.

Best place in town amazing food , Cocktails are magical and the music is great. Would recommend it during all week.

Cute place with nice decor. The food was very good we enjoyed everything. Burgers and the loaded cheesy fries are the best I've ever had! I wasn't expecting it to be that good. The atmosphere is good. The male waiters are a bit serious and not very chatty. Female waiters friendly.

When we turned up to get a drink it was closed. Text the number on the website and didn't get a reply until 4 days later. By which point we had gone gome, however we were advised that they close on Mondays and Tuesdays, which was posted on Facebook. I don't have facebook anymore and many others may not have it, so how would we have known. Maybe a new sign up outside on the gates up to the bar would be a good idea for those who don't have social media. As Google showed open every day. Once we did finally visit, the cocktails were awesome , food was good, felt it was pricey but as a treat it was fine. I couldn't afford that all the time. A nice balcony however thr weather was a little wet so sat indoors which was beautiful

We ate at Macy Brown's twice. When staying in Whitby for one week. The food was delicious and staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended you visit for food and drinks.

These are some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had and we’ve sampled a lot!

Lovely evening attentive staff, good all round night Thanks guys

Only had cocktails, but on a short break with the girls, this place is a must!

We came in for a drink. The place is decorated very stylishly. Cocktails are really good. Wish we’d have found it on our first night

We were told by a work colleague about this place, arrived on our wedding anniversary evening, had a couple of cocktails each then ordered a seafood platter between the 2 of us. Food was beautiful, staff were extremely friendly and service was brilliant! We sat outside also on the veranda with heaters. Would highly recommend

All the time coming to whitby and we have never been in here. We was on our last night so called in as the door security escorted us upstairs to the waiting staff and the to our table in this upmarket venue. We started off just going for a drink but then decided to eat, we shared small plates of nachos at £6, Parmo chicken & cheese bites at £6.50, halloumi fries at £6.50 and hummus at £4.50 washed down with a bottle of Pinot Grigio at £18.95. They add a service charge of 10% which can be removed but it is all waiter- waitress service to your table and the food was all delicious.

Terrible experience, girl who served us was miserable, didn't smile or make eye contact, misplaced our food order wich we waited almost an hr for so didn't get as our parking was running out. Senior staff member was lovely, apologised, but no apology from the girl/server who made the mistake and even smirked as we left. Disgraceful as prices wernt cheap, Won't be coming back again!

This restaurant/bar is beautiful. The food is gorgeous.the price is high but worth it for a treat. Saturday is very busy

We popped in for a quick drink, got given a seat on the outside balcony which was nice, I had a cocktail which was lovely, table service so no queuing at the bar, didn’t have food but would try it next time as it looked good.

Really nice coffees and the staff were very friendly

Lovely decoration, great if meat eater, asked for veggie sausage and nearly broke my teeth on them 🤣🤣. More expensive that any other breakfast we had during our stay too. One waitress was quite rude and offish with us so won't be going back in a hurry.

Spotted this place from the road on a walkabout for food, went upstairs to be met at the door by would I would describe as a bouncer/floor manager, its hard to tell, left us with a sense of unease, we were given option of outside or in, chose outside but it proved to be a bit cramped so we moved back inside. We ordered drinks and food after about ten minutes, the server had such an unintrested manner along with all the other staff, no connection. Setting was nice inside but very loud with customers and children shouting over each other, most of the people in there looked liked they had had too many cocktails and beer, which at their prices would suggest the locals are minted. The food took ages to come and was not that special after the wait, we left about a third of it as it all tasted like it was out of a jar, even the people sat next to us commented how long we had to wait. We finished what we could manage and called it a day, the emotionless staff took payment and had sneeked in a 10% service charge which they didnt mention at any point and I thought after this was a good way of getting a tip for dull service. This place is struggling to decide if it is a cocktail lounge or a resturant, it is a bit too pokey to be both in my opinion. Im sure a lot of the locals love it here but perhaps they dont have many options to chose from. I like to tip well for great service and great food but I will give you! a tip, walk on by and try somewhere else.

Visited several times during our short trip to Whitby- the delicious cocktails kept drawing us back! The food is lovely too, my burger was great and the chips were lovely. The cocktails were made fresh by the talented bar staff and the servers were extremely attentive, chatty and friendly. The decor is gorgeous and it really felt like a treat to be there.

We came here after seeing it recommended online. It has a lovely atmosphere with a ‘trendy vibe’. The food menu isn’t anything particularly special but there should be at least something for everyone. We decided on tapas to share and it didn’t disappoint. The calamari was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The loaded fries were excellent. We had a couple of drinks to go with our food and all reasonably priced.

My first time here with my mum. The service was fabulous and the doorman was very kind and friendly. Showed me to our table. Will be back on Monday, but for lunch.

Would just like to say thank you. I arrived waiting for my daughter. Unfortunately she was delayed. The staff were really kind and showed her to the table. This was really appreciated. My daughter is autistic. The door staff where fantastic. When she arrived we had cocktails they were out of this world. Thanks to everyone the service was amazing

Lovely pub , staff was amazingly attentive . This is a true gem drinks are amazing

Went for tapas with my wife and enjoyed the whole experience, from the excellent food to the excellent atmosphere and service.Will definitely revisit next time we are in Whitby.

Service unreal and drinks even better r

All Staff are so amazing and friendly! They make the best drinks. Would 100% recommend. Go try Xxxxx

Lovely spot hidden away, perfect for a snack and cheeky cocktail

Greatest most well made, beautiful and professional cocktails EVER !! The bartender was meticulous and spectacular to watch “invent” each cocktail he made.. order just to watch them being made.

0 stars for anything, wouldn’t let us in due to diabetic friend being drowsy needing to sort his levels out. Not friendly at all and aggressive. Discrimination at its finest! Everything was explained to staff and no sympathy at all!

After a futile attempt to gain entry to a previously visited place, fate led us to an extraordinary discovery - Macy's! A haven of brilliance awaited us, where the enchantment of delightful cocktails began as early as 10AM. Although the timing wasn't right for my...

Lovely place for a few cocktails at sun set i recomend the bar tendes choice cocktail they are awsome

Excellent bar with good selection of coffee and drinks. Good service too and a great atmosphere. Perfect for people watching.

Not accessible but not many places in Whitby are! Once we carried the pushchair upstairs it was worth it. Great drinks, amazing staff who made our little boy a mocktail! The tartare outside is great and there’s shelter too if it rains. Recommend 😊

Went in for lunch and a quick drink lovely place food was fine good choice especially as one friend was vegi and one. Lacto

We ordered 2 more drinks and after that we paid for but after another 2 rounds which we paid gain caah they awanted payment for and we had already paid in cash but forced to pay again.

Great place pity we on went on our ladt night😊😊 but would certainly visit again

Very polite beautiful food service great friendly staff

Really enjoyed the cocktails, and the service was fantastic.

Only had cheesecake and a couple Of drinks a very busy place.

Trendy place bit different for Whitby good food I can recommend the eggs benidict 1st class coffee and cocktails from a proper barister and mixologist very friendly staff

Great guys, know their cocktails and how to keep their customers happy.

Beautiful place to eat, food was lovely and great wine! Loved how friendly it was x

What a great bar! Amazing atmosphere, cocktails are Bob on! Authentic, delicious and amazingly presented. Special thanks to the staff; Panos, Landi and Sid! Can’t wait to come back! The girls ❤️

This is our 3rd year visiting Macy Brown's and it gets better every year! Lovely food, amazing cocktails and fantastic service! Natasha (waitress) is friendly, welcoming and efficient! We even had cocktails that were not on the menu! Thank you for always making us feel welcome! We hope to see you again next year

It was a great visit. Bit on the expensive side but the cocktail was a bomb.

Second time visiting here and yet again wasn’t disappointed. The cocktails were lush and the waitresses so a-tentative. I love how much attention to detail is put into the decor as well as the cocktails. We had the chocolate fudge cake after being let down...

Great cocktail bar with very friendly staff. Quirky decor. We went in for one drink and ended up having several

Great place, amazing drinks, fantastic staff, wonderful atmosphere

Ordered a cinnamon iced latte it was to die for highly recommended.

Best place in town. Not only the cocktails are great but the staff is amazing. Natasha especially, she is very attentive and hardworking xx
