Montpellier Pub in Harrogate

Great little local pub. Very friendly staff. Traditional decor and furniture but very clean and comfortable. A typical old school pub. Variety of real ales and local lagers on offer.

Just had a drink outside. Nice pub and staff

Great place for afternoon drinks, on a summer, sunny day, in September.

I would go lower. Arrived at 4 ish , 30,08/2024 as part of a bus tour as a party of 4. We had sat down outside and were promptly told these seats were for someone inside. We waited for five minutes and then saw other people sitting down that had been walking down the street. We watched what would happen but the guy said nothing to these other people. He then said we could get a table.,,,,too late. Disgusted will never be near again and will be putting posts on X, face book and Trip adviser

In here right now. Really like.

Lovely pub spoilt by the horrible manager hovering over everyone. No sooner have you had your drink he's there straight away to take your glass. We sat outside with no-one there at separate tables next to us and he asked us to sit at one table. It's a shame it's in the prime location in Harrogate.

The Montpellier is a charming pub located on a scenic road in Harrogate. The big guy (big with muscles, ladies) bold, with a beard who mans the bar, is exceptional—polite, diligent, and the friendliest Yorkshireman I've ever met. Talking to him felt like catching up with an old friend. If I were a local, I would be here every night. The well-stocked bar offers a wide range of drinks at very reasonable prices. We stumbled upon the pub during a walk and, two hours later, found ourselves still sitting outside, enjoying the flower-covered street and the warm, friendly atmosphere the landlord cultivates. Make sure to visit this place for a pint or two when you're in Harrogate—you won't want to miss it.

Went in for a quiet pint during the football match.

Great proper pub. Staff very friendly. Good atmosphere.

Lovely spot for a drink on a nice day. Spoilt by the intimidating manager stood at the entrance waiting to pounce if you put 3 chairs round the table where because of council rules their should be 2. Understand you have to manage this but instead why don't you put on the tables a sign . And get where your needed behind the bar.

Went for a coke which was £6.60 for 2 diet cokes being diabetic I topped the drink up with some sugared water as I was feeling unwell with my sugar levels, topped up my drink for the manager too run out picked mine and my partners drinks up and poored them into the flower beds without even asking, shouting at me embarrassing me infront of everyone there threatening to Bury my head in the dirt. Well I don't normally say this but get back to me for me to visit you again and see if you Bury my head in the flowerbed??? NEVER EVER EVER GO FOR A DRINK AT THIS SHITEHOLE.

Very rude man stood at the entrance (assuming it’s the landlord) wouldn’t let me and 3 of my friends in. As soon as we walked up to the entrance for a casual afternoon drink in the sun he said that we can’t come in as we probably don’t have IDs and are “disrespectful” as one of my friends accidentally walked over a patch of dirt which turned out to be a flower bed (which had no flowers on it) which my friend apologised for. Me and my friends are all over the age of 19 and would happily show ID if asked. Was very embarrassing as there was people around watching the interaction. No landlord should speak to people like that, especially for the whole street to hear!!

Cask Cider delicious mmmm, good staff. Just a joy (they accept real cash 👍)

Our favourite place to go for a drink! I can’t believe people complain about the cost, I can only imagine that they’re regular clientele at Wetherspoons!!! The owners are very warm and friendly. A real gem in a lovely part of Harrogate.

Wow what a welcoming pub. The barman was incredible and nothing was too much trouble for him. Gave us loads of information about local bars and restaurants. Gutted we could only stay for one pint but we will be back. Thanks so much

Returned after 30 years and called for a drink over the weekend. Excellent staff and beautifully clean.

Stopped for drinks. (Did not eat) Lovely, welcoming pub.

Very expensive and empty - cheaper in the much nicer fat badger nearby

Visited today gorgeous pint of old peculiar Welcoming staff and spotlessly clean Will definitely go again

I’ve been here twice on separate overnight stays in Harrogate. The vibe is really chilled, with music playing but not too loud. The landlord is very attentive in a good way; like a traditional landlord he made me feel like a regular even though I’d only ever been here once before. The drinks are no more pricey than anywhere else. Give it a go. 😊

Great little pub, good choice of ales and gins bar staff fantastic make you feel very welcome. Well done, all great find till next visit.

Outstanding service and very welcoming very clean and toilets also clean

Staying in a nearby hotel for work. Came in for a couple of pints. As a solo traveller they not only made me feel welcome and comfortable but reccomend places to eat and conversed which is rare in a lot of bars these days. It is a really clean and welcoming pub with a great atmosphere and ale

My husband enjoys a good beer. We were visiting Harrogate for a gig to watch The Classic Rock Show again. He remembered a previous visit where he found Old Peculiar on cask. He was delighted to find it was as delicious as he remembered. Nice pub with a friendly landlord and amusing memorabilia- visiting again tomorrow

Great place for a good pint and a scotch , just a good old fashioned pub , no frills

A lovely traditional pub with a good selection of beers, several of which are hand-pumped. We were staying in Harrogate for a few days and called into this pub twice for a well-warned pint after quite a bit of driving around Yorkshire. We were so glad that we did.

Top all round pub with great staff and great atmosphere

Very welcoming and friendly staff.

This place is traditional a old style pub or if were cynical you could say it has just never had anything done to it, yet it was the most expensive drink we had all day £13 for two drinks is ridiculous and as others have comment about the landlord he was creeping about the place making you feel uncomfortable he needs to decide which side of the bar he wants to be at. We visit Harrogate quite often this was our first time is this bar and it will be our last, I will never return and I would not recommend anyone to go.

A roaring fire was very welcome when we came in out of the rain.... A nice Timothy Taylor went down well..

A great pub with a lovely coal fire , the staff are friendly and chatty and recommended an IPA which the husband tried out . We would’ve stayed longer but were on a market day trip . Would definitely go back here if in Harrogate again

Visited here last night with my husband and received great friendly service from the barman. Lovely cosy atmosphere with the fire being on. Great choice of drinks but barman definitely made our visit with his chat and humour

Nice chill proper pub, friendly.

Great place to chill out, have a drink, sit by the fire and relax.

Nice pub with lovely fire & friendly staff.

Very nice pub seating are outside very lovely place

Friendly place for a good choice of beers

Good range of beers and wines. A little more on the expensive side compared to other bars and pubs in the vicinity. But good service and good pints.

Lovely pub. We sat at tables outside. Staff were lovely & friendly. There was no food on offer.

Nice traditional pub good selection of beers and gins but shame doesn't do food anymore on the whole very good 👍

Outside seating perfect on a warm day. Friendly staff and fabulous views.

Went here on a day trip to Harrowgate, lovely location. The service was friendly and welcoming. Sat outside to have a drink. Great little pub, will definitely visit next time. 👍👍🍻

No food but a good choice of beers. Friendly staff and the seating outside catches the evening sun.

Great location with outdoor seating. Lovely friendly staff creating a perfect place to go and relax. Always a good playlist on but never too loud to stop your conversation.

Great place lovely location, friendly staff and really good beer

Brilliant Landlord and Landlady and very fine ales. Will definitely drink there again when we visit Harrogate

What a wonderful pub for real ale drinkers. Beautifully kept Taylors Landlord beer. Surprised that 2 pints cost £10.80 in late July 2023, but the bountiful brassware was shinily cleaned and the music playlist in the background was good. Will return.

Worth a visit, good selection of well kept beer

Stayed in Harrogate for 2 nights , visited this pub on both occasions. Husband loved Timothy Taylor’s , he said best pint he’d had in Harrogate. Great pub , lovely staff and even the landlord remembered us from previous night, that says it all. Definitely worth a visit.

Great to find a 'proper' pub as so many in the town focused on food. Great character pub, gorgeous well garnished G&T, and a friendly landlord. We liked the fact it was 18+

Friendly service, nice relaxed atmosphere.

Wanted to enjoy a nice pint outside in the sun but we were greeted very rudely by a man who didn’t even look like staff and was very rude and wasn’t welcoming at all. Won’t go again.

Timothy Taylors Landlord perfect and Theakstens Old Peculiar fantastic. Appreciated the tips to eat out during our stay in Harrogate from the owner. If you like a decent pint find this classic pub.

Pleasant bar, outside seating friendly staff.

The owners must be given the best of praise. The beers and cider are served in excellent looked after condition. They care about their customers.

No food which is odd but a nice place to sit to enjoy a quiet beer inside. Much competition for outdoor seating due to the pubs location, despite the sky high prices.

Lovely sunny Monday in Harrogate sitting outside pleasant environment early evening People watching whilst enjoying chilled wine and beer Gentleman behind bar very friendly and helpful likewise other drinkers advice on where we could eat Highly recommended and we visited the following evening though no sunshine but venue and same young man serving making the visit another pleasing one

Great location and excellent range of beers. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

Lovely little bar barstaff really nice and polite

Great pub, really friendly staff and great beer

Nice drinks only pub. Cosy inside with good choice of drinks. Good outside area for watching the world go by. I'll go again when next in Harrogate. Timothy Taylors Landlord Bitter spot on. Maybe need a coffee machine for the none drinkers/ drivers.

Great beer, lovely atmosphere, lovely staff.

Very quite but clean and tidy. Liked the area very much .

Perhaps the best pint I've had in a pub, Theakstons Old Peculiar, but wow is it expensive. A pint and half a Strongbow cider, £8.50. Same pint in Wetherspoons is £2.46. Being a true Yorkshireman, guess where I was drinking Old Peculiar from then on? Also, a bit strange, you couldn't stand up and drink, outside the pub, but could take your glass 50 yards away and sit on the wall and drink it, outside some-one else's premises....

Really good real ale pub with expert staff

Great pub, beer is always in excellent condition, friendly with good food. A place I always visit with friends and family.

A great place to go for a drink in Harrogate

Been a couple of times to Harrogate but last weekend 1st time to this pub lovely and very nice landlord deffinatly will go again 👍

Only had a drink, and enjoyed it very much

Found this pub walking back to our hotel, very friendly and a welcome break from the madness and noise of the chain pubs up the centre.

Went to this pub on a break in Harrogate, the Landlord was very friendly and the pub itself was clean and tidy with a nice open fire. The downside to this pub is the Drinks are very expensive whether it is a glass of wine, a beer or a cocktail you choose to drink. You need a big wallet to drink here. They do not serve food.

Great 80s music. Nice open fire.

One of my favourite pubs in Harrogate. Great atmosphere and great beer.

Lovely traditional pub, good quality ales on tap, over 18s only...open fire....very friendly staff...will be back 🙂

We visited this pub by chance when visiting Harrogate. Lovely warm welcome from the landlord who has in my option one of the best kept pints of Timothy Taylor’s I’ve ever tasted. Fantastic.

Great hospitality, and extremely well kept ales. Especially Timothy Taylor's Landlord. Can't wait to get back there.

very, very, expensive drinks. £18.20 for a double Gordons gin & tonic and a pint of landlord bitter. nearly fell through the floor. won't be going again.

nice pub,,,but £18.20 for a double Gordons gin & tonic and a pint of landlord bitter. won't be visiting again.

Nice pub and had a great Timothy Taylors

Really nice Pub with excellent people running it and very helpful advice regarding local community, sat outside and had a lovely couple of hours, enjoying relaxing drinks.

Really lovely place to relax and watch the world go by. Lovely glass if cold wine.

We where lucky with the weather,and had a nice drink outside in the sunshine. Friendly service.nice place to watch the world go by

Great Pub good beer and atmosphere.

Traditional pub,nice place ,lovely sitting outside on a sunny day

£17.00 for 2 large glasses of house wine !!! It’s a pub, nothing special, they weren’t even serving food. We sat outside as it was a sunny day. The landlord was sat out too, no table service. 3 ladies opposite paid £25 for 3 cocktails.

Lovely little bar but spoilt by the attitude of the younger guy behind the bar. So condescending…no need! Won’t return!

Cute pub with outside seating, friendly bar staff and good atmosphere

As a rule and you can see by my previous posts on places, that I only like giving positive reviews! The landlord here at The Montpellier is a joke! He hasn't a clue about customer service or what fresh ale should taste like! When I returned my smelly Timothy Taylor, he argued repeatedly and eventually replaced it with something else that was only marginally better!! He actually told me that I was talking out of my ar*e! lol . . 😵 Even the barmaid looked like she didn't want to be there! This landlord quite clearly is in the wrong job and should bow out gracefully! Lmao . . 😂 There are so many other great ale pubs within Harrogate, selling lovely fresh ale, so why would you want to use this place! The Montpellier has the ability to be a lovely warm and friendly establishment, but not with this muppet at the helm!! Good luck all, Nigel 🙂

Quite spacious pub with lots of outdoor seating to the front on the pavement. Handpulled cask beers were Theakston Best Bitter, Theakston Old Peculier, Timothy Taylor's Landlord and Farmer's Blonde. A good drop.

Nice pub, with a good selection of beers and drinks and a wide window over the park. Could slightly improve the decor inside.

£20.40 for two pints of San Miguel, two bags of crisps and a bag of peanuts, I don’t think so! Won’t be drinking at this establishment anymore, shame!

Great place for a drink, especially the cider , sat outside on a sunny day 😎

Met up here with some other running coaches for a planning meeting. Plenty of seating & some outside as well. Decent enough spot for a quiet one but I found it a bit dull.

Wonderful traditional pub, great ales& lagers in a great location.Only thing was on the lunchtime we visited there were only bar snacks for some reason the kitchen was closed.

Walking around Harrogate on a hot and sunny Sunday late afternoon, we spotted the only outside table that had just become vacant and sat down. The landlady walked over and wiped the table down and we ordered drinks from the bar to take outside. A very pleasant outside seating area.

Good friendly staff. Nice spot.

Friendly staff, good facilities and drink

Fantastic pub first place I've ever had cocktails on draft and they tasted great.

Good beer. Nice outside seating area.
