Scholar's Bar, Scarborough

A modern refit bar, with a heavy slant towards sport and good ale. Whilst the exterior and interior are nothing to write home about, they are clean and inviting whilst the bar area serves up 4 real ales with a local slant, all in excellent condition on my visit. There was no sport on when I was there but there was still a pretty good atmosphere and I was happy to stay for a couple. All in all, a tidy place to enjoy a few ales with the football and a good place for a younger drinker like myself. I rather liked it; possibly my favourite GBG pub visited here.

The Skipton Copper Pippin was that good here my plan to do several pubs in Scarboro went down the pan. It was that good I had a gallon. We arrived along at 1201 to find gates locked but they were swiftly opened by a friendly barman. The service was good but I kept hearing bells!!!! The landlord was up to something.... quasimodo appreciation society I'd say. Loud and irrelevant tellies with football on-a good rock jukebox would have made this place perfect. But still,definitely a must visit in Scarborough.

have to echo the worthy comments posted here. There was footy on when we visited, but did not detract from the beer, service and good atmosphere (the game was Arsenal v Chelsea). Quite a mixed crowd. Had a couple of different beers, Strongarm being one, i think. Would always visit

A pub which looks rather daunting from the outside but is actually very tardis-like! A decent selection of real ales and live sport on the TVs. A nice spacious, friendly atmosphere.
