The Waterhouse Bar in Scarborough

Terrible door staff on New Year’s Eve after a very good musical performance by the musical artistes. I came on my own from Leeds on New Years Eve and door staff couldn’t have made me felt more unwelcome - very disappointed - will not ever visit again!

Nice pub with live music good beer

Always has music on , can be a very crowded bar on the weekend with little room to move, Drinks are average prices for town centre

Lots of fun. Busy and good prices.

The Waterhouse Bar Scarborough Spiked 921418564 Place was full of drunk idiots play fighting barging into my Girlfriend. One of I think locals begged to buy me and my Girlfriend a drink and I believe both drinks were spiked. My girlfriend won't drink jaggers so I had both I felt dizzy light headed and my hand wouldn't stop shaking. Lucky we was staying next door in a apartment so was able to get back safe and quick. By the looks of how they were it was for my GF group of white males aged around 40 to 50. Geordie male and a Canadian Male. Stay careful. Canadian guy was creepy

Great live music for all age groups packed to the rafters but great fun great service and a good time to play out bonnie xxxx

Place itself is good, but the only issue I can say is that they let to many people inside it so it's really busy, and literally have no space to move and get knocked and barged around every time anyone moves around the place, not very good atmosphere when drinks are getting spilled over you.

A great bar with a good friendly atmosphere. Friendly welcoming staff. We went in the day and on Saturday night when there was a singer, fantastic night.

Staff friendly and pub was clean . Sadly £5.50 for a pint of Guinness is ridiculous! I realise they can't compete with Wetherspoons £3.19 but Scarborough isn't London .

Seems to be good atmosphere with a life music ,but we weren't allowed in ,because my pertners shorts were "looking tramp" by bouncer David words. RL shorts for £125 wasn't good enough ,but just before us he did let people to come in wearing grey primark sweatpants and pimsoles...? PS we were 100% sober at that time and will contact management.

They have some great live music especially on a weekend. The atmosphere is friendly & quite accepting towards people of the lgbtq community. Get in early at the weekend to avoid the queues later in the evening.

Great drinks . The atmosphere was electric. Bar staff cleaning and tidying constantly. I remarked on this to the barstaff on the way out about the cleanliness...he was chuffed.

Live music, friendly ppl, great atmosphere, great staff, and I think it was open later than anything else. Fantastic!

Friendly warm atmosphere great staff

Been to a place in Walkden that’s called the same but this place is far superior. Not sure if it’s the same company but this place is excellent

Great gig and atmosphere in this late evening/ early morning venue

Brilliant Band's with live music and entertainment, staff very helpful and courteous and a delight to see there positivity and enthusiasm at such a very very busy venue.

Very Expensive , was charged £8 for double vodka n coke , and charged £6.40 for a double vodka and coke , does not seem right , N.Y.Eve Staff with Sour Faces , Carry On Walking Past this pub , robbery

Great pub excellent guy on guitar worth a visit 👍

Good lively atmosphere with excellent live music, and packed on both the Friday and Saturday, free entry and open nightclub late. Young fella singing the numbers on the Sat was so good I gave him a tenner for his efforts.

Popped in late last night for a couple of drinks and the place was buzzing. The drinks were good and the decor is canny. The singer was a bit weird but has the place bouncing.

Marvelous place. Top venue for live music in Scarborough. Free entry.

Great place to go, lovely staff fab live acts n reasonably priced drinks

Went in this bar on Friday night. There was a very talented guitarist (Danny) playing ‘covers’ with a twist. The music and atmosphere was great. We got a seat , but many people were standing as the bar got more crowded. We’d go again but we’d go early so as to get a seat.

A welcome return to an old friend of a bar. Really busy on this Saturday evening, a mix of locals and holiday makers. The singer was entertaining and talented. Good range of drinks and food prices

A fabulous finsh to a great night

Great live music, a little overcrowded!

Lovely little pub with entertainment

Friendly bar man. Nice atmosphere, and sells Stella. A little more pricey than other pubs nearby though

Pleasant pub not over full like most on the seafront 😀

Not a bad place to go good atmosphere, just way to loud to be able to talk to anyone

Live music was good and also music between live sets was good too

Great bar and music, a must if your in Scarborough for the night, really good atmosphere. Open late and drinks not too expensive

Always a laugh. Great live music venue

Lovely little home town bar, live music, just isn't my scene hence the rating but a lot of others love it 😊

Pub over rated pub and needs a juke box as live music not to my taste.

Firstly, I must apologise to the owners, I put a review on here for the Waterhouse bar and the review was for the wrong pub. We did in fact visit this pub and it was very friendly pub. It was quite full due to the world cup on the TV and there seemed to be a stag do taking place in the pub. There were not many pubs that were this full on the Saturday night we were in Scarborough. What did impress me was the bar staff, there was a gentleman who had obviously had too much to drink and was refused service by the lady behind the bar and told him that he leave as he would not be served. He left the pub and returned 10 minutes later, one of his friends gave him a drink and the same lady came from behind the bar and took it off him and told him to leave which he did.

Brilliant. Great staff and live music.

Fantasic live music, great atmosphere, brilliant staff and huge gin selection. A real gem, love this bar

Very welcoming...friendly...polite staff...pub and toilets immaculate...would highly recommend 🙂

fab place lots of life and great music
