My wife and I entered this establishment this evening (20/08/2024) we approached the bar and had to wait as there were no staff behind. To be fair, the place was empty. We asked politely if they served food, to which we were met with an abrupt “Nope!” We said thank you left. As we were at the door, we heard the barman mock us to the only customers in the building. No wonder they had no customers if this is the attitude towards them. We won’t be back, even if they choose to serve food in future. PS we had a lovely in the local Harvester and bought many drinks. Yates missed out But we didn’t.

Looks like a great bar but unfortunately when we went only a dozen people in but guess it's probably busier on a weekend and also only 1 bar staff and no menus on tables found quite strange for a Yates.

Nice place for a drink and go watch sports that they have in multiple screens. Shame they gave stopped all food now so if you want anything to eat you will have to bring your own, this they allow which is good I guess. Drinks are ok but can cost a bit, think a pint of coke zero was £3 which is a lot for a drink these days and cheaper elsewhere. Lots of places to sit I always loved when they used to do the wrestling nights playing on the large screens for the live events from 1am til 4am, was always a great atmosphere but don't think they offer this anymore

Unfortunately Yates no longer does food, which is a shame as it used to be our favourite place to eat in Torquay. However, they do allow you to bring food in from any of the local takeaways which means you can actually have a pretty decent meal. TV screens are everywhere meaning you always have a view of whatever sport is on, I managed to catch the F1. Staff here are fantastic and the drinks are great!

Be careful when the football is on, they are very busy, they over charged me for drinks, when I complained they said they had refunded me then asked me to pay again so not only did I get over charged I got charged twice, I made a big fuss, showed them my credit card statement on phone, asked them to give me a receipt for refund but several members of bar staff just start saying I have to wait for the refund to show on my account, big tall guy served me then female manager intervened, they know most people are just on holiday so won't be back in there to show the refund was never given I enjoyed the atmosphere in there and would have been back but not when they rip you off like this

Great reasonable priced pub good atmosphere very friendly staff made our stay in Torquay very pleasurable. Go here if you want a decent drink or meal at a fair price. (update) since last year this has been taken over by a new brewery (craft Union). I can honestly say it is still a amazing bar the staff are very friendly and even JASON (barman) had a photo with our traveling alpacas. It's a very relaxed environment and calm I will point out that they no longer serve food but do allow outside food in. It is worth a visit and we enjoy it every time we pop in. :)

I've lived in Torquay for 2 years & Yates is by far my favourite pub mainly because the staff are so friendly & accommodating. Mandy & her colleagues always serve quickly with a smile & with so many screens it's by far the best place to watch sports & drink beer at a reasonable price compared to many other bars in the area.

Well unfortunately never got to try the food. I attempted to have a late lunch here with two freinds, one of which suffers from aspergers and can somtimes look abit dishevelled. unfortunately things went down hill rather quickly. We had been waiting approximately 30 minutes for food and our friend decided to go outdoors for a cigarette, as he returned we heard shouted "where are you going? not up there! get out!" at this point my other friend ask who this person was talking too. The Woman then came upstairs to our table and to my astonishment instead of apologising for her actions, as mistakes can happen. she attemped to justify her discrimination of a disabled person, at this point I lost my appetite. So we ended up at the downstairs bar, things were getting abit heated she refused to give her name and details of the incident and the complaints procedures of the parent company. She left another bar man to issue a refund, unfortunately they did not refund the drinks which were only half consumed, i found that abit disappointing. Now as she failed to identify herself and provide any of the complaints procedure my freind started to film, so he is able to identify the person to higher level management of the company to try to resolve the issue. At this point she assaulted my friend and attempted to snatch his phone from him. We then left and I shan't return to a business that allows the discrimination of those who are less abled and ill-equipped to handle these situations. I understand that they may be having issues with less fortunate people coming into the pub during the cold winter months, but to treat somone with disabilities in such a rude and Callus manner and refuse to apologise for her mistake is simply unacceptable.

The food was fast , beautifully cooked and well presented. The waitresses were very quick and efficient in cleaning down tables and ensuring the restaurant was kept clean at all times.
