A narrow modern bar in this old market place hotel, also servicing a couple of lounges. Agreed it doesn't make much of the history of the place, but it was smart and clean, the service was good and the beer was fine, if a little cold (Black Sheep Best and their rugby special on handpump). I can't say I'd choose to drink here but I wouldn't refuse if someone offered me a pint.

Enjoys a prominent position in the Market Place and looks like it should have a nice traditional interior. Instead the hotel bar to the right-hand side as you enter is modern and fairly bland. The real ale is Black Sheep Best Bitter. Disappointing.

Typical hotel bar to the right rear with dining area to rear left. Three weak real ales on sale.

Walked into this pub and up to the bar. No-one there despite the fact that the pub was full of ignorant, whingeing old gits on a coach trip. We actually held open the door for 4 of them and not one of them said "thank you". After they'd passed us I called back to them "Thank you for letting us hold the door open for you all" They just looked at us as if WE were the ignorant ones. There were two handpumps on the bar selling Black Sheep bitter and something called Golden Fleece Bitter with no attributed brewery. Who knows what they tasted like as after 5 minutes waiting for someone to appear behind the bar we left. This should probably be the best bar in Thirsk, but it isn't, it's crap.

Old Boots left this review about The Golden Fleece Hotel
An old coaching inn from the days of the Great North Road. Large brick building on the market place popular with the 'turf' on race days. The bar is decorated in modernish style with high back chairs while retaining an older elegance. Racing memorabilia, framed silks, members enclosure badges etc. give a racing theme. This is definitely the kind of place where all the chairs match. Well kept Black Sheep bitter and Shep's Spitfire, the usual Guinness, Carlsberg, Strongbow and Tetleys plus San Migel. Food is good and reasonably priced, mains around £7. Service pretty good, the barman pulled off a pint or two to clear the line before serving me as I was the first on Spitfire that day, although he was sometimes absent from behind the bar when needed.
