Yorkshire Tapas in Harrogate

Great live band that got us up dancing. Wonderful, lively atmosphere full of friendly locals. Drinks a little on the steep side, but worth it for the night had!

Excellent Sunday afternoon great live music highly recommend

Fantastic live bands great atmoshere.Tapas and Gin Bar on first floor

Jam night, great artists, great atmosphere, great staff…definitely worth a 5* plus!

Great atmosphere for a prosecco 🥂

The Blues Bar is something of a Harrogate institution, with live music every night and a friendly crowd. Can't comment on the food but the real ale is excellent.

Brilliant place we just called for drinks but will be back

Without doubt the best bar in harrogate.brilliant bands on friday and especially sat nights.great atmosphere love this place.

Really enjoyed our first visit to this pub which was recommended by friends for great music and atmosphere.

Great little find, live music and a full bar on a wet Tuesday night. . Amazing

Open mic 🎤 night was brilliant, we were only in Harrogate for a couple of days, and the Blues bar was the highlight 👌

The place to be in Harrogate, live music at it's best 🎙🎸😁👍

Great beer great food great music

Visiting Harrogate for the first time in nearly a decade we booked here for Saturday night`s tea, the place was bouncing to the great music, fortunately the dining area is upstairs, the crockery rattles with the bass but the music is not too loud, the food was very good, very tasty and would recommend to anybody visiting the town to visit here, ace!

Almost everything is right about this place - except the beer! I'm not sure what they do but it is consistently below bar. It's the only reason I don't go more often. Such a shame. 🤦

Haven't had any food here, but the band was amazing! And the atmosphere brilliant

Nice little pub with great live music and atmosphere.

Visited these guys to see a band; a friends' son is their drummer. Walking through the smokers to get in was not very pleasant, but once we were in the bar staff were really friendly. This place is pretty small, so once you find a spot to stand it can be hard to move, we were lucky, however, to get some seats as a group were just leaving. They seem to have live bands on pretty much every day, so if you don't mind the limited space it's a great spot.

The food, atmosphere and service is simply outstanding. The venue is very well present in a niche style which reminds me of some speak easy’s. The Yorkshire tapas was outstanding, I fully recommend the garlic bread and the pulled pork Yorkshire pudding. Downstairs is a cracking venue for live music, if you’re visiting the area, swing by and take a look!

My favourite bar. Great live music, great atmosphere and great beers

A great little pub, with live music and a decent pint. Its tight and somtimes to loud, but it does make our weekend when we come here x

Called in early Sunday afternoon to sample the Yorkshire tapas. Ordered the chorizo meatballs, onion Bhaji, masala prawns and pigs in blankets. Could not fault any of the dishes and there was more than enough for two. Friendly helpful staff and a great music playlist. Well done, keep it up.

Fantastic place. We went in for a quick pint and stayed all day. Great staff and great atmosphere. We didn't have any food so can't comment. But highly recommended.

Fantastic gem hidden away in Harrogate.

Our visit was initially just a 'tongue in cheek' dinner whilst on holiday in the area as it would make a good story / memory to go to a 'Yorkshire tapas bar'. We were the first in there that evening (mid week) and had a lovely table overlooking the park. The guy serving was excellent and talked us through quite a few menu items and we opted for 4 small dishes and 2 large. All were really good with the portion sizes more than adequate to fully satisfy 2 of us. Very tasty indeed and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. So glad that we went. The total bill, including a very very large gin and a zero alcohol beer was under £60 so including a good tip (the service was very good) £70 for a very good meal out and a couple of drinks seemed a bargain. A couple of bonuses, other than the view out of the 1st floor window, was the music - not too loud to be instrusive and good stuff from the 70s/80s :-) Oh, and the real bonus was that the chef was happy to give us (well for £2) a pot of his fantastic Henderson's glaze that he'd made to top the crispy slow roast belly pork, to take away with us. We'll definitely go again when we're next up there.

Great bar, went in a couple of nights. Good if you like live music.

Monday night jam session.., brilliant will be back 👍🎸🍺

Great food freindly place enjoyed it

If you are in Harrogate this is a bar you must check out excellent food.. lovely staff well done guys

Great night out live music all year long except Christmas eve or Christmas day

Only had drinks and listened to music which was brilliant !!

This is a fantastic place, and my favourite place to eat in Harrogate ... and there is good competition. The menu is lots of small dishes with a Yorkshire theme, and the food is excellent. There is also an excellent range of quality beer on offer. The ambience of the place is fab, and the staff are very friendly. All is all good. We went for an early tea at 6pm on a Saturday, not crowded upstairs but a good buzz downstairs. And it was just really good as an early evening venue.

I was at the Blues Bar. Liked the music. Food was OK-

Really nice homely pub-like setting with good live music playing the background. And the food itself tasted great. However the prices and menu did not reflect the portion sizes. Every dish was small for the cost, especially the “big tapas”, not enough for a full meal. And so we left still feeling hungry and ate elsewhere afterwards: something I’ve never experienced before whilst dining out

Fantastic little find, don't know how I've not seen it before. Called in for a late pint or 3 on the way back to the hotel. Just Missed the band, I won't next time !! Andy-mac from Liverpool.

Never had a more unpleasant welcome ever, we visited the bar on every trip to Harrogate, but because it was full we were met by an aggressive attitude to say it was full at 10pm as a older couple we won't be back

Great little music themed bar with unique decor. Pleasant and friendly, with good selection of real ales served with a smile. Have not tried the famous Yorkshire tapas, or been in for the music nights. Well worth a visit if you are in town. 👍🍻

Called in for a couple of pints and enjoyed the live 70s music .Ale on good form .Good crowd there to appreciate the band.

Great venue , good beers very friendly

Yorkshire Tapas @the Blues is a true haven for music lovers and cocktail connoisseurs alike. With its incredible live performances, exceptional drink selection, and inviting ambiance, it's the perfect destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in an evening of pure bliss. So why not treat yourself to a night out at the Blues Bar? You won't be disappointed.

Had a booking for 7pm turned up to an empty bar no staff and no customers. Waste of time.

Waited over an hour for food. My partner got hers. Waited another 15 for 2 items. 1 of which came and the second was given to a different table. Absolute shambles. Fair play to the lad behind the bar very apologetic and nice lad and gave us some discount. Needs to improve

Worse bar in Harrogate the guy who runs it is a 🔔end

Absolutely fantastic food! Services was excellent. Well definitely be returning

We thought the idea was novel so we gave this place a try for dinner. We were very pleasantly surprised! Booking ahead was necessary, and we originally had a small table in the corner. But the staff moved us to one of the several booths as one became available. The staff were great and accommodating. We did wait a little while for our bill, but otherwise very attentive. Food was fantastic! The red slaw and masala prawns were favouritea of ours. I wouldn't recommend the cocktails - go here for the food!!

We went here on Fri 22nd April for the live music which started at 9pm. Only intended to stay for a couple of drinks but stayed till closing because the band were excellent! Small, gritty, not much seating and tiny little bar. A few characters (a bit like the bar from Star Wars😃) but everyone was friendly enough and we had a good laugh!

Great place friendly staff great music

This place always has a great atmosphere with great window seats looking out onto a small park area. Our food was fantastic as usual.

I came to this Harrogate micro pub on the 21st October 2020 great pub and staff, but sadly, only 1 hand pumped ale on offer Saturday, March 2024 We again came to this music pud, which sells now a really good choice of hand pumped real ales The pub tonight was a top-class music venue the clients were ace the real ales on offer i ve had were great This place now is a must to visit when in Harrogate for real ale

Great atmosphere. We watched a live band here and had a really good time. Great vibes

We didn't eat here, just beer and a band with a passionate audience. We are from outside of town and only visit occasionally. It's bloody good, I wish we had a bar like this locally in Lincolnshire. Good beers served too. Fantastic.

Stumbled upon Yorkshire Tapas while exploring Harrogate. While the concept is great, the food was quite average and the service was a massive let down. We waited nearly 30 mins for our order and the food wasn't even warm when it arrived. We went on a Saturday afternoon when the restaurant was quite empty, so not sure what delayed our orders. We order the Tatties Bravas which was okay, and the Yorkshire onion bhaji and chickpea fennel patty Yorkshire Pudding. While the tapas fusion concept sounded great, they all tasted average. The bar itself is quite nice, but the food / restaurant seems to be an afterthought.

Such a great venue, old school pub vibes. Visiting the area and thoroughly enjoyed this bar. Very friendly bar staff and the food was beyond tasty, like all the best bits of a roast put into tapas. Great atmosphere enjoyed by regulars and visitors like myself. Live music on the night was enjoyable too. Only issue is the venue is too small, when I tried to return for the second time on a Friday for the live band, it was full and I couldn’t get in haha. I will return in the future and get there early!

Stumbled across this bar when exploring Harrogate. Brilliant atmosphere and rock band for a Sunday afternoon.

We've had many great nights in the Blues bar with great live music, however last night one of the young bar staff Blake i think hes called tried to rip me off by over charging £9 for drinks and when I said to him thats a bit expensive can you check the prices i got lots of bad attitude from him to the tune of pay the bill of £36.70 for 5 drinks or I will take them off you, so i asked him for a receipt so I could see the breakdown of the prices he had charged me twice for the same drinks, i did get refund but no apology. The owners really need to employ better staff.

Great venue for live music! Friendly atmosphere and good fun but very busy at the weekend

Went to watch perfect shambles .excellent york group .been to blues bar before always a good atmosphere

Bet its buzzing on an evening. We will be back to try it.

Great little gem. We went for a pint while in Harrogate as not many pubs around for our liking. Went in here for a guinness before the band played and was a great pint and a great atmosphere! Landlord friendly. Will be visiting again when back in Harrogate. Thankyou

Just a casual call for a coffee and a beer fabulous atmosphere polite staff . Left feeling quite refreshed. Ps play some great tunes.

Very comfortable and entertaining place, one of the best bars in Harrogate 👍

Great find. Packed pub with quality music and beer.

Always really busy with a band on but it's a great atmosphere

The concept is great, the food is delicious but the service let's the restaurant down. This is very much a bar with the a restaurant as a side thought. The service is extremely slow with us waiting 30mins just to be asked what drinks we'd like. This also means that some things sit in the kitchen pass a while and can feel a little past their best. I order a coffee and ice cream after food and the ice cream texture meant you could tell it had part defrosted and refrozen as it has ice all through it. The ice cream turned up half melted and the coffee had sat so long the milk froth had gone all weird looking. It's a great idea and the food is good, the service let's the place down. The bar itself is awesome and the live music, in my experience, has always been good.

Love this place, and always try for a seat when visiting Harrogate

Amazing food! And great atmosphere in the bar downstairs I'm coming here again

Good choice of beers & live music.

Only popped in for a quick beer, good atmosphere, would love to here some blues played here.

OMG! Food to absolutely die for. Tasted so amazing and the staff were super friendly. I left feeling happy after listening to amazing music and just generally having a good time. There wasn’t a dish we ordered that wasn’t amazing. I really couldn’t tell you what my favourite was. Shout out to the chef who I believe was on their own in the kitchen on the night we went. Other tables were commenting on how amazing the food was too

Stayed to listen to live music, brilliant atmosphere! Didn't have food. Fantastic little bar, will definitely be back

This is a great place! The food we had was all great and was definitely tapas with a yorkshire twist. There was a DJ on downstairs when we arrived (we ate upstairs) and a live band on afterwards. I would heartily recommend people give this place a try - there was good food with great service at a decent price.

Loved the live music! Such a great night! Thank you. Definitely would recommend going for the atmosphere.

The clientele in the bar are extremely loud, shouting and drunk even early in the evening. We went for the music in the evening but nearly left because quite a few women were horrendously loud, they apparently are regulars there so a regular problem I believe. The tapas were delicious and the music was great though so the evening did improve fortunately. We went back the following evening and the same loudness and drunkenness even at 7 pm put us off and we left.

If you like 70s rock and blues 💙💙 You will love it here

We visited Yorkshire Tapas as part of a birthday weekend away for my husband. I had booked here after reading the reviews and wanting something different to treat my husband. The food did not disappoint and we polished every dish off. My favourite were the beef dripping chips with beef and gravy. My husband loved the pork belly and ribs. The lady who served us was friendly and I thought it was great value. It is definitely worth a visit!

Didn't have food we were on Wednesday night it was a brilliant night of Music and laughter

Great music bar. Small but perfectly formed.

Fantastic bar amazing food tapas the coolest bar in Harrogate great ambience the lady who served us was charming and extremely helpful beer was good too can't fault this bar at all

Absolutely brilliant. Oodles of atmosphere. Great music. Just great

Amazing live music with great beer and wine selection. Very highly recommended.

Great place. Horrifically under staffed. Food ok. Staff pleasant but under too much pressure. Pity cos it's a great place

Small but cosy. Great staff & good bands. Small beer garden with upstairs toilets & music room.

Great live music venue, with staropramen on tap too 😉 never tried the food so can't comment on that. Looking forward to my next visit

Yesterday afternoon we were in Six by Nico in Manchester. Today we find ourselves in Yorkshire Tapas at Blue bar. To be honest this was better. Superb evening at Yorkshire Tapas@BluesBar. A great concept providing traditional Yorkshire fare in a tapas style. Some of the tastiest food I've ever had with live blues music as well. Honest quirky food, served with great humour. The Malbec is superb! I'm thinking of sending the chef to the Assheton arms to show them how to make chips. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Best bar in Harrogate.Amazing staff,great music and atmosphere. See you again soon .

Brilliant concept. Tapas with a Yorkshire spin on it. Food was delicious. Great service. Definitely going back.

Service was great despite being packed. Cask ales were tip top. The band were great.

The bar is a great music venue but unfortunately we didn't feel that the food was great this time. We had breaded prawns which were deep fried and over cooked and the squid rings weren't great either. The beef Yorkshire pudding however was good. Service was good but drinks expensive at over £5 for a single vodka then £2.70 on top for a tiny bottle of the coke mixer!

Good time - band every night and a mix of locals and tourists

Most of the menu could be made gluten free! Food was delicious. Service/staff were very friendly and lovely. The rhubarb cocktail was delicious. My first time at a live music blues bar and it was great! Got very busy very quickly downstairs but was still a great atmosphere. Music was great.

Just here for a drink but very cool. Friendly and dog happy place. Good music. Hendrix ...

Went in for a couple of beers, live band on and had a great night.

Brilliant live music venue. Good selection of beers. Live music every night. Well worth a visit.

Great bar and staff luv this place

Can't speak about the food but as for the music being performed on a Monday night it was fantastic. I love live music and if I lived locally I would be in this place all the time. My wife would probably divorce me so just as well I only visit Harrogate occasionally. Great night. Smashing venue.

Omg did not expect this from a traditional pub food .... honestly would not be out of place in the Ivy !!! Wow

The music was fantastic, great singers

Great live music and friendly staff,also a good selection of beer, strongly recommend a visit

Loved this place. Went a few times whilst in Harrogate once for food and twice for music, fantastic every time. Clean lively and lovely place. Toilets clean too and was happy to drink both inside and out.

Very nice bar in Harrogate went lunchtime nice jazz type bar
