Whitby Brewery Ltd in Scarborough

Fantastic location, great beer and pizza

First time at this place, to see a college friend's sister's band play. I was blown away by the whole experience. Beer and the band were both excellent. If you want to see the band, they are Best Served Cold.

A "must do" if your visiting Whitby, makes the challenge of the 199 steps up to the Abbey well worthwile! Great beers & cider, pleasant enough surroundings & on a sunny day the big doors open up to outdoor seating areas in the sun. Pizza is available freshly made in their own wood fired pizza oven for £10. Love it, will be heading vack soon..

Excellent pit stop for those climbing the 199 steps. Catered for family with variety of drinks on top of their own fabulous selection on offer. Loved the outdoor seating area which looks out on to the abbey. Also great seating area inside with views of the brewery, stage and pizza oven. Lady serving on tap was really polite and courteous.

Loved having a good pint here with views of the Abbey but sadly won't be visiting again as its now gone cashless 👎

Excellent venue . Great beer and pizza.

great little venue, excellent beers, tasty pizza and a fantastic band tonight...State of Satta

Disappointed no close parking as members of our party struggle with walking Shame

A lovely place to drink beers brewed on the premises.

Fabulous place, visited every day we were there! Busy but people were always in and out so we managed to get a seat every time we were there, sometimes just needed to hang about for 10 minutes first. Pizza just wonderful!!!

If you like real ales and beers this is a must if you're in Whitby, great choice and they also do snacks and pizza

Half day in Whitby. Decided to visit Whitby Brewery after climbing the 199 steps. Service is quick. Had the Abbey Blonde, which was rather nice and light. Would call in again.

Fantastic venue in an amazing locations with lovely staff . Their beers and pizzas are absolutely fantastic ❤️

Visited for the brewery tour. The experience almost went awry due to a technical issue with the booking system but the host went above and beyond to make sure me and my party could enjoy the tour. It was really well done, too. Couldn't fault the guide, who was friendly and engaging, and the taproom/beer garden itself is brilliant, being situated right in view of the abbey, serving delicious real ale brewed right on site. It's easy to understand why the place was super busy, even on a drizzly, somewhat autumnal day.

Such a great place but won’t be using it again as card only payment

Did this tour yesterday - what a great thing! Devon the guide really knows his stuff, we learnt loads. Lasted just under an hour, but we could’ve stayed for much longer to find out even more. Very generous beer tasting at the end of the tour! Shout out to the fab people we stayed and had a few drinks with afterwards - Nicky and her husband from Redcar and Dave and his wife from Pontefract 😁

BLACK DEATH ☠️ This is the best pint of beer I have ever had the pleasure to drink.

You can’t go to Whitby and not visit the abbey,So while you are there you have to visit the brewery great ale and lovely atmosphere.

Love this place for a cheeky pint! Black death is a must try! Would be 5 Stars if there was more seating and the pizzas were a little more value for money. Other than that it's a belter of a place!

Lovely old building housing the brewery. Quite a few seats inside and loads more outside seating with views of the ruins of the Whitby Abbey. Also great views nearby over Whitby Bay.

Good beer and a great place to recover from a long hike along the coast.

Fantastic find, best pint of blonde in Yorkshire

Fresh, tasty beer directly from the brewery in a charmingly renovated old farm in the shade of the mighty ruins of Whitby Abbey. What more could you want!?

Can get busy but that's because it's good! Only card payments are accepted so make sure whoever is paying has theirs! We took the tour last year, ably hosted by Devon, which was very informative and included sampling various ales, well worth the ticket price. Visited again this year for a swift one, not disappointed. Soft drinks available for the kids / drivers and public pay n display carpark just around the corner. Fab views of the abbey literally opposite. Recommended.

Excellent selection of Ales. Great service. Amazing views. Well worth a visit

Grab a tasty pint of whaler its bob on. Thank you

Beautiful setting, up opposite the staggeringly beautiful and iconic abbey. Service was busy, a queuing system was in place,the server was an extremely miserable woman who clearly didn't want to be there,( not sure why as I'd kill to work in this setting rather than sat homeworking everyday not seeing anyone!)...but we persevered through the order , 2 beers and a pizza! Beer was....ok, not a great drinker of ale but I do like my local Ossett pale and wasn't a scratch on that ( in my humble opinion) the pizza however was amazing , freshly made in front of your very eyes! Hot and delicious. So all in all i'd advice go at least once in your life, if only to drink a beer by the Abbey .

Found this place on the first day of our holiday as our campsite was a half hour walk away, stayed for a couple of Smugglers Gold and Proseccos and bought some bottles and a glass to take back. Lovely vibe and views of the Abbey so we decided to walk back the following day for pizza. That is where we made a mistake! The next evening we walked the half an hour back there with 2 tired dogs and 2 hungry teenagers looking forward to pizza and a few drinks. The website stated that they served food until 7pm. They don’t. Upon arrival at 6.15pm on a very warm Monday we were told that they had sold out. I asked if we could get a takeaway (so that we could at least stay for a few drinks). Absolutely not, as it was their business (even though they didn’t have any food!). The lady (in charge?) kindly suggested that we walk all the way back to our site and order a Dominoes there. Good job we’d bought a couple of bottles the day before I guess! So yes, a very disappointing evening out and I do not recommend walking there for food. I have now seen other reviews which say the same thing. And we now have an unwanted “Whitby Brewery” glass to remind us of the experience 🤦🏻‍♀️

Beers are outstanding, in an iconic location. Pizzas top notch and light as a feather. Dog and child friendly, live music Friday Saturday. Well done for knocking it out of the park.

We love it here The local beers and gin are great, the views of the Abbey ruins even better!

Very little keg ale on offer. Yes Black Death is lovely but 6.66%! Its summer and Keg is far more refreshing than cask, the barman agreed but only seems to ever have one or maybe a one off other on occasionally. We came for pizza on our 2nd occasion (6pm so Tea time!) summer holiday Wednesday and all sold out!! A little surprised and was unwelcome as we had come here for tea after an 8 mile walk. No signs to say they had sold out of food either.

It's a cool place, it's worth climbing these 199 stairs and the reward is a delicious beer😁

Worth the walk up. Lovely pint could halve stopped for more. Staff very pleasant nice seating area. Will definitely call again

Fantastic range of beers, freshly cooked pizza and an incredible view of Whitby Abbey!

A lovely hidden gem that we found by accident but definitely would come again, lovely home brewed lager and ale and the pizza went down a treat for lunch 🍻🍕

A swift pint of Jet Black in the sun, What more can I say? Perfect!

The car park is quite a walk from the brewery and is very expensive at the Abbey. The access from the pavement is down a grass slope onto the road which should have a few steps and handrails for the elderly/disabled. The brewery does not offer tea or coffee options for drivers or those not wanting alcohol. I know this is a brewery but people shouldn't have to drink and drive if they are wanting to attend. The parking issue is not good for a visitor centre.

It's well worth climbing the 199 steps to find this little gem. We sat on benches in the sunshine with Whitby Abby peeping over the wall behind us

What better place to sit and try thier great selection of beers brewed on site. Even better now with pizza available.

Good beer and soft drinks to enjoy outside on a beautiful day, a few centimeters meters from Whitby Abbey and where you can enjoy its side view.

Had no idea we’d find this brewery when we got to the top. But we did. And it was fantastic 🍺

Brilliant place, great atmosphere, spectacular surroundings, very unique experience......Brilliant band.....Dogshark blues👏👏👏👏🤘

Fantastic selection of beers. Friendly staff and good location

Excellent beers, great atmosphere and dog friendly. Perfect place for a drink

A very welcome beer. Not my favourite but pheasant enough. Views of abbey behind the wall

Great place to have a chill and a beer. Staff really friendly,it's so laid back

Five stars plus ******** and for those that don't do real ale, black stuff, the lager is very, very, nice, proper stuff😏

Had a great time staff very friendly and the pizzas are lovely so is the beers

Had a great time drinking beers in the sun. The staff were really nice and the pizzas were great.

Love it up here, great beers with views of the Abbey, must try the pizza next time

Awful beer. Been to a few brewings and this is the worst one.... Just awful. And you have to walk 200 steps to it. Don't bother

Nowhere better to have a pint in Whitby!

Very nice beer and an excellent view outside.

Whitby Brewery is an absolute hidden gem behind Whitby Abbey. Traverse the 100 steps, pass through the Abbey and you will see it ahead of you. They brew their own ales, the Whitby Whaler and the Smugglers Gold are particuly good. Prices are decent, a must-try line up of independant ales. The location alone wins it for me, as you get an amazing view of the Abbey from outside and plenty of seeting. Staff are awesome, they have a pizza kitchen inside the barn. Love the grafittied tables, like being back at school. They also have a stage for live events. Must be a sight to see during Goth weekend? Highly recommend, I stop here for a pint or 2 everytime I visit Whitby. Can't recommend this place enough.

Great place to stop and have a drink after walking up the steps to the top. Good selection of beers and also sells other drinks. Lovely outside seating for good weather and also inside seating. The husband thoroughly enjoyed his blonde beer and I was very happy with my cider. Great staff. The toilet facilities were clean and well maintained too.

Nice and friendly place for drinks

The staff were not interested in customers on Friday 26 April. No knowledge of their products, no knowledge of performing bands to another customer, more interested in their own conversations. We will go elsewhere to spend our money. Total waste of time. Bad experience.

Fantastic! Great beers and lovely staff.

Lovely place staff are fab and drinks well .......amazing 😀 thanks

Great location for a freshly brewed beer after climbing the steps up to the Abbey

Nice place to go In summer and sit outside with a lovely view of the abbey. Homemade pizzas are lovely aswell.

Great location and equally good choice of beers for around £5 a pint. Had 4 or 5 cask and same number of keg ales ranging from larger to blond ales and stouts. Music on a Saturday at 7pm and Sunday afternoon if that's your thing. We happily stayed for a couple and would revisit for sure! New toilets in the making or so the sign said.

Called in after a long walk, tried a few different lagers and a home made pizza made in their big oven, lovely place, friendly, helpful staff and an overall great experience. 👍😁🍻🍕

Excellent love it up there & the beer is always spot on..xx

I love traditional beer brewed with care and passion .. queued up to get gas .. bottled beer .. not impressed .. long queues .. reallt not worth it..

Visited with elderly mother. Was very busy but we did find a table luckily. Great choice of beers and the pizza smelled lovely. Got bottles to take home for hubby too. Was lovely to see all the dogs welcomed.

Really nice bar and 🍕♥️♥️ Look at these happy faces

Very nice beers and pizzas but the venue is very basic inside . Uncomfortable keg barrel seating with dangerous loose seats and silly inside tables made of graffiti covered slatted pallets that are just perfect for your glass or bottle to tipple over in the gaps between the slats .

Good beer, lovely pizza, great staff

Expensive and only have the own brew larger not nice.

Fabulous local brewery with fantastic pizzas as an added bonus

Excellent pub, great beer, great pizza

Fabulous location. Great ales. Tastiest pizza ever. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. What more can you ask for.

Lovely beer, amazing wood fired pizza. Free pint with every pizza Great value

Really good... especially Santa's Tackle

Our favourite place for a drink in Whitby, totally worth the walk up. Love the new bar and warm indoor seating area. The pizzas are to die for! Anytime of year it’s a wonderful place with lovely staff and delicious ales.

Went in on Christmas Eve, so it was rammed. Had to sit outside on a rather blustery day. Did offer an amazing view of the clouds over the Abbey though! Perfect pint of Jet Black. Guinness WISHES it was this good. Will come back when quieter as the pizzas looked amazing. I'd imagine the beer garden is perfect in summer months too.

We visited whilst the craft fair was on. There were stalls and live music on at the brewery tap. Very good beer and there is an outside area with benches. Seating inside as well. Parking is on the car park for Whitby abbey which is only 5 minute walk. Free parking Nov - March but charges apply outside this period.

Very nice place to have a beer 🍻. Bought a few bottles to take home. Enjoyed them enough to order some more online. Ordered Jet Black, and IPA. Both excellent beer's.

Fantastic beer and pizza. Staff always friendly. Highly worth a visit (or several).

Better every time we go. Also offering delicious pizza these days 😋

Fun experience, great beer and homemade pizzas excellent

We enjoyed a couple of beers and pizza, friendly staff, nice building.

Best cask in Whitby, and maybe the surrounding area too. Fantastic selection from easy lightweight pales to heavier stouts. Pizza well made and great value. Gigs on Saturdays in a spacious venue, what’s not to love? Can’t wait to come back again.

Nice beer good atmosphere and rock music

Very helpful staff, tasty pizza and a very good choice of alcoholic drinks 🍻. Dog friendly as well. Highly recommend this place if you fancy a local beer or nice pizza

Looks a lovely place… shame they couldn’t update their opening hours on here as they are now shut for a week and but still says Open 😢 Simple action to benefit your customers would be great

Closed for a week... Thanks for updating your hours..

Superb little pub with excellent beer brewed ont' premises. Great atmosphere with seating inside and out. Limited grub available, mainly pizza cooked on site.

Nice friendly staff warm and inviting, tasty beer 🍻 nice location overlooking the Abby

Love this place....You work up a thirst on the 199 steps up to the Abbey first and your reward at the top is this place. Lovely to sit outside with a pint and have the Abbey as your back drop. Great atmosphere, if you go to Whitby, you need to call in here.

Excellent will go again food and drink very nice

Fabulous place & a must-visit when in Whitby. Excellent beers, friendly staff & great atmosphere. Pizzas & events are great here too. Definitely try the Black Death; every drop is as advertised ;-)

This is a lovely place to stop off after visiting the Abbey. Great beer, and even better pizza. Although there is limited seating inside, even just taking the pizza to-go is worth it. Couldn’t ask for a better lunch spot!

Friendly staff and great beer. Accessible-ish. Staff and other customers made life easy.

I absolutely love this place it’s my reward for walking up the 199 steps. I usually go for the darker beers so like the Jet Black or Black Death Gothic Stout. On my recent visit I enjoyed the Autumn special aptly named the John Barleycorn’s Blood which is a red ale. It’s a stunning location and always find the staff provide a friendly service. Well worth the walk up!

Really nice pizza tonight - crisp, floury crust and perfect proportions of sausage and tomatoes.

Fabulous little brewery. Especially the Black Death. Great pizzas and a friendly atmosphere. Love it.

Really nice location next to the Abbey. You can sit inside or outside to enjoy a wonderful beer. Other drinks were available.

Brilliant finely got there loved it great beers ill be back
