Great reviews from Blackthorn and Pubsignman. Been a few times now and it is still the same as those reviews state - only you are encouraged to graffiti the tables - so I left a Soupy waz ere. The beer is always fine - this time having a Saltwick Nab but they have several of their brews on. Lovely views of the Abbey mean it really is a to do place.

Looks like i forgot to review this during my last trip in 2021. This was during a lockdown where you couldnt enter pubs so a) it was great to find a place open (not all were) and b) drinking a pint, any pint, seemed a novelty. We had to queue for a long time to get in!

Things are back to normal. A sheltered courtyard with picnic tables was the obvious place to sit, but a barn type conversion is available for sitting inside. As you would expect, the beers are kept in perfect condition.... another Jet Black chosen, just like in '21

Pizzas available for £13.

You would be bound to visit here if you have climbed the 199 steps to see the abbey ruins and churchyard.

Blackthorn _ left this review about Whitby Brewery

This brewery was a very pleasant and unexpected find, having walked up the 199 steps from the town to the abbey and having no idea that it was here. Clearly plenty of people do know about it though, since the good sized outside seating area was pretty much full to capacity.

Internally it consists of a small room to the left which has little apart from the bar counter and some merchandise racks, and the brewery itself to the right which also has quite a bit more seating. The small bar area is quite rustic, with rough wooden boards cladding the bar counter and a solid slab of wood on top, with green glazed tiling on the walls. There were plenty of black beams on the ceiling, although whether these were structural, or just for show, I’m not sure. The brewery area had rough concrete on the floor, tables made from old pallets and seats made from old barrels with a cushion fitted on top. There was a large stage area at one end complete with lighting rigs and speakers, so music obviously features here on occasions. Large glazed windows give a great outlook over the abbey whilst the brewery equipment itself was clearly visible all along the back wall.

Beers on tap were all their own as would be expected, and on this occasion consisted of Whitby Whaler, Smugglers Gold, IPA, Abbey Blonde, Jet Black and Saltwick Nab, with the latter two both going down well. The solitary cider meanwhile was Stowford Press. Overall, I really liked this, the staff were friendly, the atmosphere relaxed and chilled and the beer good. The fact that I stumbled across it by accident is another bonus.
