The Star Inn in Scarborough

A good Guinness and Very cheap surprised for a goth week end

Had a good two pints of Bass and a decent price for Real Ale.

Just popped in for a drink. Nice old pub and a propper pub. Very much one for the locals, which adds to its charms. Prices are very reasonable.

Popped in for a drink friendly barmaid, good crack locals use this pub

Popped in for a quick and cheap pint ,nice cozy bar with canny landlord.

Good pint and a pool table. Friendly staff

A lovely welcoming public house with a great selection of ales perfect for relaxing after walking up the 199 stairs to Whitby Abbey

Don't touch this place! Think the landlord had a charisma by pass watching tv and he decides to turn tv over to watch what he wants to watch without asking the few people in the place. Plenty of other good pubs in town.

Not a bad little pub, can get very busy. Good selection of real ales. Landlord or barman wasnt the most pleasant

Good decent pub with cheap beers

Lovely friendly pub up the side street in Whitby. Have a couple of pints and played pool. Friendly staff.

Excellent bar near Whitby quayside. Very quiet on Thursday afternoon with just a few (locals?) in the bar. I think this bar has just been taken over by a new owner or manager as it is nothing like what previous reviews have stated. Very friendly welcome from smiling and engaging bar staff. My pint of Ossetts White Rat was absolutely spot on, well served and at the right temperature and at a price consistent with other Whitby venues. The interior furnishings and appointments of the bar are clean and comfortable which make it a nice place to be. The Star Inn is what I would best describe as "a proper pub".

Great atmosphere and great drinks on Whitby quayside.

Great pint of White Rat beer. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed our Sunday dinnertime drinks.

Mi esposa y yo estábamos pasando un tiempo maravilloso en Whitby, pero al entrar al Star, la casera fue muy antipática al pedir nuestras bebidas, le dimos nuestros asientos a tres personas mayores y conseguimos un taburete para el caballero que la casera rápidamente cambió por uno más pequeño. así que estaba mucho más bajo que el resto de su grupo, ¡pero era del color correcto! dijo la casera, recuerden no mover los asientos para sentarse cerca de sus amigos, ya que los moverán hacia atrás, la casera y el propietario son muy controladores, no me sorprende que el resto del personal pareciera muy infeliz y desinteresado, atmósfera horrible, solo mire los carteles en el baño. puertas!

Cracking pint of Ossett white rat, kept beautifully. Thursday club, free juke box and free pool. What more can you want.

Great boozer. The best pint I had in Whitby (Oakham citra) guy behind the bar was really friendly. Free pool and Duke box.

We had a really good drink in here, chatting with locals and the barman was really just a nice guy! A decent pint on draught, with a good atmosphere. Helpful and friendly, the barman helped us with our next destination and had a good laugh with the very drunk Scotsman at the bar… a good experience!!

Called in at 10.45pm on a Saturday night to a welcome of we are closing in a bit. Asked for spirits but limited choice. No ice available and pub not the cleanest. Poor atmosphere and felt they just wanted us out. Zero stars for the Star Inn.

They don't serve food but your standard pub, decent music, rock so I survived. 🤣

Nice friendly pub in Whitby, good prices

Walked in whilst visiting whitby for the day , found a table for me my husband and dog, when I walked up to the bar the staff member already had a fresh bowl of water and a couple of treats for our dog, such a lovely touch, and really appreciated it. Recommended this place for its friendliness

It's a lot better now it's changed hands

Nice traditional pub. Free pool table was a bonus

Only small pub but welcoming & friendly, didn't have food .

The barman could hardly find it in himself to say hello, not a great welcome for an establishment.

Fantastic turn on the weekend we went there.

Old boozer. Love it. Free pool too.

Free pool! Darts, really friendly service.. reasonably priced deffo return

Cosy pub only does food thursday to Sunday. Staff friendly

great little pub, allows children which is a bonus for Whitby pubs

Lovely place in whitby to call in for a beer or two 😀 staff and landlady makes you welcome we'll worth a visit .

Great beers loverly staff .always call when in whitby. .

Small clean pub on the harbour, enjoyed one drink while watching seals

Good beer, friendly, local pub.

Brilliantly welcoming little pub. Guinness is good and staff are friendly. Pool table, juke box and darts were all free too which was a bonus. We met so.e great characters in here!

Dead as a doornail, we were the only customers in but saying that it was a Tuesday evening after goth weekend. The young bar lad was very friendly

Nice quiet pub most weekends friendly staff. No karaoke which is good for me.

This is a proper pub yippee not a fancy wine bar.

Off the beaten track but well worth a visit Julie was great had a very afternoon

Great little pub. Warm welcome from staff, decent choice of drinks. In the process of getting a makeover when I visited.

Alright to have a drink in but nothing else goes on. Bit quiet for me

Very drabb inside. And expensive.

we were misled by the tourism website which said this pub serves food, which it doesnt, but the welcome is lovely and the landlady has a plentiful supply of dog bowls and treats. when we asked about food we were obviously told no but also that we could bring a takeaway in but nit chips due to the smell, but was recommended the hot pork sandwich shop round the corner, the best pork sandwiches ever, unfortunately cant remember its name to do a review but go and find it!!

Great pub, friendly staff, good atmosphere

Nope visited once will never go in again the landlord didnt make you feel welcome at all not a nice feeling in the pub

Always good Music Played in here (in my opinion). 👍

Good quick service but got a bit loud later

Good night dancing soul with the young lads n girls great night great dj ...

Good traditional pub, been in a few times now over the years, like the pool table, bit erratic some times it's empty and some times it's heaving, more so the themed weekends, just back to the old pricing issue, don't no what the answer is, just a third more expensive than witherspoon or the fisherman's Arms, glad I,m not in the pub trade.

We was made to feel very welcome in here. There were plenty of gins to choose from and this pub also had a pool table which my son enjoyed playing

Great place lovely time we all had

Great pub had a fab afternoon easter weekend

Proper boozer! - lovely pint of white Rat

Bit of a locals pub, but good atmosphere. Managed to get a seat (7 people), decent background music, though not too loud, so you could have a chat.

Nice place lovely n warm in there on a cold day

Proper pub pub, not so many around any more, not over priced, friendly and welcoming. Only drops a star because it can be a little chilly in the winter

Great pub,great atmosphere,what more could you ask for

As ever always friendly and fun

Went on for quick drink with our dogs on holiday. It was a pleasant place. Very quiet

All the charm of a mouldy flannel. However I do believe it has new owners/management hopefully it will improve soon.

Great atmosphere as always in the Star

Great band, great atmosphere had really good night

Bit of a damp squib No atmosphere

Friendly staff , dogs allowed , brilliant jukebox

Friendly staff .a proper local pub.. can't ask for more..

Really needs a revamp , old pub , music so loud it was distracting even though only 3 couples including us was in the bar. Faint small of wee.. decided to only have a short and picked baileys which had a lump of brown in it.. I assumed it was baileys .. gunk . Picked it out We drunk up and left .. I really like traditional pub .. but this one needs a bit of attention. Staff seemed pleasant. Could be great .

We called in to listen to a folk group and we’re sat by a local “character” and his bunch of cohorts. Very pleasant at first, but that soon descended into a drunken verbal free for all between themselves. So loud that the band stopped playing. Threats of physical assault to each other made us very nervous and we moved. After a few minutes, it calmed down until the most verbal decided to start again, more local drunks of both sexes sparred verbally until given a Luke warn “warning” by the barmaid. This had no effect and off we went on round three. Appalling language from them all. The lead drunk pointed my wife out as the cause of the argument, and the barmaid issued her with a warning rather than lose the custom of her regulars. I didn’t hear that until my wife told me later on our way home, or I would have had words with the barmaid. They were still throwing insults when we left after two pints. A good night soured by a Gang of drunks who should have been refused service hours earlier. The beer was good, and the food s apparently excellent, but we could only comment on the former as we felt unsafe staying any longer.

Would have given 5 stars if it wasnt for the drunks in the corner who drowned out the live music with their arguing. Met some nice people in there who apologised for the other l( unbooked) ive act. Woukd have stayed but for the fear it might all kick off and we were next to them.

Very nice staff and very friendly place

Friendly staff, good atmosphere and very competitive prices.

Nice little pub. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff

Nice pub with good reasonably priced beer and well mannerd staff.

Very nice pub , very clean and tidy , in a great location and has a small area outside the front to sit , the staff were friendly and the beer was very good .

Good atmosphere, there was a DJ on, good music, not has busy has some of the pub's in Whitby so it was great for me!!

this is a pub used by locals and is just your average pub but as it is next door to the cottage we stay in we usually call in for a drink while we are there

Spot on Guinness and a game of pool for 20p a game, c'mon let's have it ha ha.

The landlord is appalling I will not go back again because of his behaviour

This pub speaks for itself when you walk in to it. It is soulless. Cold not welcoming at all. Few locals in. All of the other pubs in whitby are full and have a great atmosphere. Also the music is far too loud. Not working at all.
