The Barologist, Harrogate

After many name changes and style, this pub is currently the Harrogate Arms. It's currently in one of its better guises. although still not great. It majors on sport and also has a couple of pool tables. It's a bit generic and I doubt that this will become a regular haunt as thee are many better pubs in Harrogate.

Reopened under yet another name, old customers will recognise the basic layout, furniture, the tiled & board floor and even some of the decor. Eight hand pumps serve mostly Yorkshire beers, Taylor's, Ossett, and York are represented along with old Rosie cider, there's also 12 keg taps of national brands. On the upper level of the three there are two pool tables, the botanical prints are still there but with extraordinary lighting over pool tables and indeed elsewhere, they may have used up most of the Edison bulbs in Harrogate. The lager tanks remain in situ but the pipework has gone, there's piped music, some big screens, and games machines. The food comes from well known Harrogate company Banger Bros - comprising burgers, hotdogs, sausages, 4 varieties of bangers & mash, including vegetarian options, all for under a tenner, usually well under. Tables are numbered with pub game themed beer mat shaped indicators rather than the usual inset brass discs.

Closed and no sign of life on Wednesday at 7. It's supposed to be open 12 - 11.
