The Red Bear in Hambleton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent beers exceptional staff really love this place

Good honest pub, cheap beer and friendly, don't think they serve food but never asked.

This place is horrendously humid on a Saturday night, barely any seating, and the staff know it's too hot and uncomfortable as they use an electric fan behind the bar. They clearly don't have air conditioning, and the level of heat and humidity in there is beyond ridiculous. Was honestly the worst experience I've ever had in a pub, and I've been in some proper dives before.

Great pub, great atmosphere, lovely staff, original features which make it more homely. Plus it keeps the prices right.

Decent place for a few beers but could do with more bar staff when it's busy

Great pub fantastic atmosphere 👌

Fantastic little pub ,great beer prices for the area

Great pub, called for a drink b4 races and ended up staying much longer

Love this pub.....we always end up in the Red Bear, when drinking in Thirsk. It's the best for sports with a friendly atmosphere to go with it. Service has always been second to none. Plus the prices are very competitive with what's happening elsewhere in the Town.

Decent pub and cheap drinks... Telly's all over the place with racing on all the time, bookies next door.. Quieter towards the back and does have small beer garden out the back..

A good town pub and sensible prices.

Lively bar which appears popular with locals

What can I say as long as we have been visiting Thirsk this pub is our favourite .The staff are fantastic the service great The atmosphere is great and the locals are soo friendly and welcoming .And of course the drinks are a great price Thank you all Xx

Lovely pub full a racegoers. Absolutely brilliant prices proves correct price = plenty of customers

Great little bar, dog friendly and a good selection of well priced lagers & hand pulled beers.

Great Pub. Great Beer/Lager. Great atmosphere. Just a small moan. £1.75 for the smallest lemonade to put in my glass of wine. Not even half of a pint.

Good pub. Good beer. Cheap beer.

I think its more of a sports pub,but ive heard the food is great.

Good sports bar with great drinks offers. Nice friendly staff.

My last visit was quite pleasant and had lovely staff behind the bar, my visit today was very unpleasant and the staff were very rude also not very clean!

Great bar and staff. Mint disco on fri night

Very small, toilets are tacky, shame you need cameras in toilets now. Defo could do with a renovation to spruce it up. Just looks the same since changed from darrowby to bear.

Great place to visit. Staff friendly, locals welcoming and prices better than expected.

Nice little pub good prices and friendly

We were there for the races at Thirsk, so it was quite packed but still the service was good and we enjoyed are time there, albeit a short one.

A very good pint .not expensive friendly people

Wonderful place to visit for a drink n very friendly n Wonderful bar staff

Very helpful in seating us as limited space due to Covid..

Great down to earth no nonsense pub, no food served just good drinks and a good atmosphere.

I just parked out side this time

Because it is very much better than it used to be. It was always a beautiful pub, but the decor does not give quality. The management do. Feel safe here now.

We have been made to feel really welcome!! Lovely people and lovely staff xx

Nice friendly pub with plenty of sports screens

Fantastic venue Friendly bar staff definitely the best venue in Thirsk

I'm the resident dj and love this pub great staff great beer and lovely atmosphere reccomend it too any one when I'm there

Liveliest place in thirsk xx good for a dance

Good as a locals club, expect to feel a little like an outsider if you don't know anyone, but it's not too bad once you start to get to know people. Everyone is also friendly

Nice little pub that sits back.can be a bit busy which you can expect from a popular place and staff are great.

Unlike the previous reviewer, I haven’t been here before, so cannot compare previous and new landlords. The only thing I can compare is the various pubs around the Market Place, and when you consider that the local drinkers are a Nomadic lot who wander from pub to pub, you won’t be surprised to hear that, on a Saturday night, most of the pubs seem pretty much the same. The two majors exceptions to that rule were the Little 3 and The Golden Fleece.The Royal was a decent enough place for a pint, but there was nothing about it that made us particularly want to linger.

So the red bear had a renovation and renamed after the previous people had it.It used to be a really great pub, good drinks at reasonable prices and a great juke box.It has been done up and the great selection of drinks have changed, the atmosphere is crap, new landlord doesn't seem interested and worse still, the jukebox has been wiped and is now crap too.Won't be going back any time soon and neither will my friends

A sports bar now, plenty of televisions and great prices.

Good pub, good TV's and good prices!!!
