The Nags Head Inn in Scarborough

Great local village pub, nice building and surroundings!!

Interesting how a 'M'other sees fit to berate a community free event, who irresponsibly stayed in the bar drinking whilst her children, unsupervised, were outside carving pumpkins 🎃 with appropriate carving tools, albeit running wild. When asked by the Landlady to ensure and supervise her children's safety, she saw fit to ignore this request and continued to abided in copious amounts of alcohol and now sees fit to assume, 'nay' deems that the responsibility for her children's safety was that of the pub. This event was not an excuse for her to expect the pub to provide a creche. Observing what was happening outside and the neglect of this woman's (mother's) abandonment of her charges was nye on criminal. I would suggest that the author of the "Whinge" and inaccurate account of her failings, before attacking a goodwill community gesture. Take a long hard look at your intoxicated behaviour, as you lady were / are a parental disgrace.

Disgusting foul mouthed behaviour by the landlady, been my local for years but this is not acceptable at 5pm on a Sunday afternoon with kids.

Friendly pub with good beer. Dogs allowed.

Lovely friendly little Yorkshire pub with a great outside area.

As ever, great night out, at this 'proper' local pub. Great hosts, a good mix of locals, and a 'juke box' that plays what you want. Cheers.

Lot of swearing locals. Put my wife off staying after first drink

Used to love this pub & it's food so always looked forward to eating there on our business trips to Scalby. However, has it really gone downhill. Seemed like a completely different pub, quite tatty & a completely different atmosphere. Quite brash unfriendly staff & all a bit erratic with lots of loud rowdy drinkers that you'd expect to find in the centre of Scarborough not a quiet village pub. What a shame but at least there are other places to eat in the village.

Nice local pub, friendly atmosphere

Brilliant old style pub, competitive prices, friendly staff and locals. We were made to feel welcome. Will definitely be back.

Good pub, atmosphere and people

Stopped in scalby this weekend and visited the pub a few times, best pint of Guinness I’ve had in a long time!

Nice local. Just went in for a beer - plenty to choose from. Recommended.

Food in garden great little pub

What can I say,apart from rubbish

Shutting at 10 pm when place was full was dissapointing

Great pubby pub! Been a few times when we stay nearby and always a warm welcome and a decent pint of ale. Quite often the local folk club are in which is a bonus!

Spent a great afternoon in here, very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It's traditional pub and the locals were friendly & welcoming.

Great atmosphere and friendly service

A door jammed, and I got stuck in a room in my Airbnb across the road. It was 11pm, I rang the pub for help, and the lovely bar tender came across instantly to my rescue to barge open the door from the other side. An absolute angel and my hero for life ! Great service for someone who wasn't even a patron

A good friendly pub. Good range of ales a short walk from hay brow campsite. Its an old fashioned getting harder to find these days. Would go again

Busy staff, no real time for people. Was a music event night.

Had my dad's wake there, lovely food and very accomodating

Very friendly place, both staff and locals... Tidy and clean. Very minor gripe... only three beers on pump

Good standard traditional pub. Watched the women's final & drank well kept beer. Friendly place.

"Proper pub" good outside seating area with food. Good beer and live music in the beer garden 👍

Very friendly people and well kept beers Good beer on today golden pipin

Good village pub popular with locals. Decent beer, good rear beer garden/yard with food, bands, quiz etc so 👍

Better now after refurbishment.

Nice and quiet tonight. Decent beer.

This pub has changed hands in recent times but the beer is as good as ever. Really excellent pint of Tetley hand-pull bitter.

The greatest local one could ever wish for. Been par taking alcohol beverages since I was 15. Am now 50. It is a true proper boozer

Great Pub, not been that many times, but you just know when a place fits. Well worth dropping in👍

Great little pub, which we seek out each time we return to the area. On this visit we got to enjoy a folk music jamming session in the main bar. Good range of drinks and very friendly staff. Spot on.

Great local staff are fab very welcoming

Went to a folk festival and sat outside. Lovely friendly pub.

Great pub with very good choice of beer. Staff were excellent- very friendly. Had snacks for lunch and there were excellent.

Friendly owner. Local pub. Nice atmosphere.

Always good in the Nags and a Burger Van

Great burger. Beer was good too.

Lovely.beer garden.well kept 🍺 Beers an Food

The more upmarket of the village pubs. Good beer & service. Lovely atmosphere

Called in just for a few drinks on the day of the Euro final, first of all the Tetleys was the best pint I have tasted in a long while, it was spot on, the table service was brilliant, and all the staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was also very good, anyway seven pints pints later we decided to go home!!👍

Great landlady & efficient staff

nice friendly pleasant staff, lovely village pub Nice location , reasonable prices Beer garden as well

Good place for a beer. Big beer garden

We came here with family on an afternoon warm enough to sit outside. It's a very nice pub with great atmosphere in- and outside. The drinks we ordered were good, food was overall good, some dishes better than others. Toilets were clean. I might have given 5 stars if it hadn't been for the group of very young people outdoors becoming louder and louder, with music coming from their mobile phones. It was obvious that the alcohol in the afternoon sun was getting to them, yet staff did nothing about it. It looked like staff knew them but it should still be taken care that the rest of the customers are also being made comfortable and looked after.

Fantastic village pub on the outskirts of Scarborough. Large outdoor seating area with some cover for the occasional shower. Friendly and helpful staff. Horse box cafe serving tasty and good value food. Very easy to reach by a frequent bus service from town (9 or 9a).

Visited the Nags Head on Friday7th May, sitting outdoors. Staff serving drinks were friendly, speedy and very efficient. The atmosphere in and around the pub was welcoming and was refreshing, especially in these difficult times. My friends and I also had burgers from Arthurs, the in house takeaway served from a converted horse box. The food and choice of menu was amazing and went down a treat. The Nags Head is a pub not to be missed and well worth journeying to.

Great local pub with a good selection of beverages just the outside area open at present but table service is excellent done by friendly smiling staff

Grim, no food... chef didn't work until Wednesday, very dated.

Walked into pub went to sit down walked straight back out dog running up and down on seats plus it was wet outside!!!

Really great afternoon and icing on the cake was the afternoon tea! Plenty to eat for the money, presented lovely and very tasty and good variety of sandwiches/savoury and cake/ sweet items. Definitely recommend it!! 😍 also picnic box for the children was spot on xx

Went in this pub tonight . Terrible so busy people sat close no social distance. Groups of people huddled together like covid dosnt exist . No track trace . Girl who served my gin used her hands to put fruit in my glass obviously didn’t drink . I can’t believe a village pub is letting people behave like they were in that pub it was dirty, tables in back crammed needs reporting . Just letting loads in to get drunk was shocked .

Lovely pub with friendly staff.

Best pub in Scarborough simple as that.

I would not recommend this place, I used the toilets before ordering a drink and was told by the land lady something along the lines of “you’re going to have to go lad, I can’t have you just coming in and using our toilets like that”.

Stayed in Scalby for a few days and this lovely pub was on our doorstep. Dog friendly, was a must for us and it's definitely that.Staff and locals welcoming, good choice of drinks and just loved the atmosphere.

Noisy drunken people shouting for no reason. Service poor. Could not get out quick enough.

Just called in for a quick drink here with friends whilst staying on a campsite in Scalby. There was a very good choice of beer and I chose Titanic Brewery's PLUM PORTER. A 5* beer. WOW!

The "Nags" is a proper village pub, always a good pint, no over loud music, just affable company.

No atmosphere at all. Don't know what they've done to John Smiths beer, it's terrible, no life in it and a weird fizzy taste. Won't be calling again. John Smiths just round the corner is lovely and 40p cheaper.

Great little local. Good selection of beers and friendly staff. Open mike on a Thursday... Same group of people every week, (some better than others that's all I'll say) Place stinks off dogs though and they are allowed to jump all over the seats. The smell is overpowering to the non nose blind. The place needs a good clean but I guess you overlook that for a good, busy, old school village pub. Tip.. Try the jalapeño pretzels! Also, a good people watching game is, 'who has money and who's just pretendind', it attracts wannabes because its a monied village (the scruffs are the monied). The pub has two sides. Stone floor side for the young lads and still kinda should be working yellow vest brigade and carpet, (smelly) side for the regulars and old golden handshake brigade.

Throw back pub to an earlier age which was ok but the foul mouthed clientele were appalling.

Great pub. Friendly staff. Well-kept beers at reasonable prices. Excellent dog-friendly policy. Almost wish I lived in near area

Clean with friendly staff prices a little steep.

Nice local pub with good range of beers and athmospheres

Lovely place. Blonde girl behind the bar was very good at her job. very tentative. Amy. Would visit again no problem

Always excellent beer on sale here, especially the Black Sheep. Always good for a late session.

I always enjoy the atmosphere here whenever it's busy. Friendly landlord and staff and a good choice of ales/lagers

The pub is warm and welcoming with some really good beers which change regularly. Tetley's and Black Sheep are usually on with two or three guest beers. A lovely pub to spend a few hours with friends having a drink or two.

The food is delicious, service reasonably quick, friendly bar staff, no negatives though they do tend to fill up fast so I would suggesting phoning and reserving a table.

I and my friends came here for lunch, the food is ok, my spaghetti is a little sweet. Service is good. But decorations for is pretty and cozy. I think there’s no better place than this restaurant in this small town. Thanks!

Great pub, nice atmosphere and really good beer in a really attractive village.

Lovely old type pub , nice pint of "guzzler' beer brewed in York

Very nice atmosphere and friendly bar staff

We visited twice during our stay in Scalby. On first occasion it was for drinks – which was OK. On second occasion it was for the weekly quiz night ( which seems to be popular with locals as it was extremely busy ). On plus side the other customers were friendly.They offer little in the way of food aside from packs of “crisps”. Very little for any customer on a gluten-free diet – no beer or suitable snacks. Then I made the mistake of visiting the toilets - they were appalling. Men had relieved themselves on the floor and to have to stand in that was grim. To think of the customers then trailing this back into the main bar on their footwear – really needs to be addressed.

If you wish to find a Pub miserable staff,miserable decor,and a manager/es who cannot be bothered.try this Pub.I f you were not down in the dumps before you went in,you will be when you leave.

we absolutely love this pub - Hal does a great job - really relaxed and laid back traditional vibe - and he also puts on live music :) way to go Hal!

We were made very welcome by the locals on Quiz night . Made us so welcome will definitely call in when next passing

Great little pub. Not had food but looks excellent.

Great village local. Excellent Tetley's and Wold Gold often on draught.

Great food, great drinks with outstanding staff.

Nice friendly pub. Nice old atmosphere

Very nice traditional put staff very friendly

After phoning at the last minute to check we didn't need to reserve a table, we were pleased to find we could just turn up. No trouble getting a table, and the food came quite quickly.

Fantastic absolutely fantastic and well worth the money gravy to die for cannot wait to go and have lunch there again x

Small village pub, has potential character, cash only.

This was our second visit to the Nags Head on Saturday afternoon. We were visiting for the musical afternoon, but this visit we were disappointed with the musicians, they were taking one corner of the pub and showed no concern for the visiting customers, playing just bits and pieces of tunes, then stopping partway through and discussing it amongst themselves. We had a couple of drinks then left them too it. Beer was good and reasonably priced, and welcoming staff.

We walked into a small town from our B&B; 15 mins down the road. We were given a warm welcome and two very nice cold pints of Stella. That's all we needed. The pub is very spacious with a great beer garden and is also very dog friendly!

Real ale's ,live music, great atmosphere, friendly staff,what more do you want.

When on holiday at Scalby village we were aware of live music on Saturday afternoons so we made a point of visiting and was not disappointed for we were well entertained and the ales were excellent in a friendly atmosphere.

This is a proper Yorkshire village pub that has really friendly locals creating a great atmosphere. Good selection of beers on offer will definitely return.

Good old fashioned pub in an absolutely stunning village. A pool table for 50p too. The red balls were blue, what more do you want? Great visit :-)

Traditional pub in the heart of picturesque Scalby Village. Friendly staff, good choice of ales and free live music Sat afternoon (folk,) Thursday evening ( Open Mic night with some great acoustic music) Sunday lunches, Curry nights etc.

Called for a drink as we were staying just up the road. Very traditional village pub, warm welcome from a nice young lass behind the bar and a good selection of beers.

My favourite pub, great, quite place, with a good selection of real ales.

Estábamos de vacaciones en la zona y, como era domingo, estábamos buscando un buen almuerzo de domingo. En un pueblo cercano encontramos este típico pub de país. No hacer comidas gourmet pub, que no es un gastro pub, es un tradicional pub antiguo pueblo. La única cosa en el menú era asado el domingo a mediodía. Tenía cordero asado y todos los adornos (Budín de Yorkshire, verduras, salsa, etc.) era excepcional. No tiene comida cordon bleu organizó para pintar una imagen en el plato. Realmente muy bueno, honesto, deliciosa comida casera. Había postres de fruta también en el menú (locales el ruibarbo) pero no pude manejar uno, estaba tan lleno de cordero asado! El personal era amable y la gente que conocimos que también estaban comiendo allí. Parece que los anuncios de comida temática noches también se realizaron una vez al mes. Si estoy en la zona de nuevo volveré.

From the outside its inviting ,it serve a good pint but my does it need a make over. Those miniture whiskey bottles on the delf rack need to go but hey a well populated pub and in this day and age that's good

Las cervezas no está mal, pero la orina de caballeros inodoros apestan, uno de los peores aseos en el que he estado, y no regresaré hasta que han tenido mucho tiempo.
