The Last Post, Harrogate

Something of a reinvention of a traditional pub, having been opened out into one larger space with remnants of the former layout - but watch out for the change in the floor level! The bar is towards the back and on the left, with Daleside Old Leg Over and Blonde available at the time of our Friday afternoon visit. My half of the first named was in good condition (NBSS 3) and this made a pleasant break from the busy tourist honeypots in the middle of the town. Date of visit: 7th July 2023

Traditional-looking pub given a semi-modern makeover inside with something of a sports bar feel. Given this, it was perhaps a slight surprise to fond two of three handpumps in use, pouring a pair of Daleside beers: Blonde and Old Legover.

The Last Post is a small single roomed pub with a mix of tiling and parquet on the floor, and standard and high tables throughout. On the rear wall is a fireplace with log burner and televisions were airing Cricket on Sky Sports at quite a volume. I’ve noted that premium and craft keg were available, I also think that there were three hand pumps. Unfortunately, while being schooled in the greatness of the Tour de France I forgot to note what was available and what I drank. Although, I do remember that the service was polite and the only other customer looked like he’d been in a plane crash, apparently his exposed bandaged trotters were from a double foot operation. Worth the short walk from the main drag? Probably not.
