As noted by previous reviewers, there is a small front bar, which has earned the Black Horse a place in Camra's inventory of historic pub interiors. The larger back bar dates back only to a refurbishment by Tetleys in 1986. Beers on at the time of my visit were Black Dog Rhatas and GK Old Golden Hen, plus Old Rosie cider. I quite like this pub and it would be one to settle into for a session, if there's a beer to suit. I enjoyed the Rhatas but just had the one on this occasion.

Aqualung . left this review about The Black Horse
As noted below this is a small attractive pub with two completely separate bars. I noticed on the way in a sign saying no stag or hen parties due to it being a very small pub. Surely Whitby isn't a big enough to attract that nonsense? It wasn't that busy on a February Wednesday afternoon. Although there are hand pumps in each bar the choice of three was mainstream consisting of Adnam's Southwold Bitter, Black Sheep Best and Robinson's Overhang. I went for the Overhang (£3.70) which like the majority of Robinson's seasonal and commemorative beers was very pedestrian, although in good nick.
I thought this nice little place was let down by being too expensive and a poor beer choice. It's GBG 2018 listed.

Tiny front bar with a larger bar behind, it's Grade II listed. There are two pulls in the front bar and more through at the back, all are listed on a board by the front counter. Bench seating at a couple of tables , it's size makes it friendly and interesting, there is the feel of York's Blue Bell in the front room. Four beers were on including two from Black Sheep plus one each from Whitby and Caledonian. It's on the main road up to the 199 steps but not a tourist hell.
