The Den, Harrogate

Cellar bar that majors on live music. It's a rock pub and that is pretty obvious as soon as you enter the bar. Two pool tables on a raised area to the left and comfortable seating to the right, also has 2 quiz machines. 3 handpumps on the bar serving Adnams Bitter, Ruddles County and Abbott Ale, not the most inventive selection of ale. Had a pint of the Adnams which was on special offer for Cask Ale Week at only £2. It's usually £2.30, still very reasonable for Harrogate. It was pretty quiet as it was late afternoon but I bet it's a lot busier later on. It's OK but I doubt if we'd make a special effort to visit again.

A cellar bar of one large room with a low ceiling in the main shopping area of Harrogate. There are four T bars with fairly standard kegs and four unused handpumps, some bottles are also available with Hobgoblin and London Pride among them. The flagged and carpeted room is divided by stone pillars and some tongue and groove partions with bench seating, chairs and tables supplemented by drinking shelves. A pool table and a screen take up a raised area at the back of the room. Décor is plain walls with some cladding decorated with a few pictures, posters and photos.
