North Bar is a café craft bar that was pleasant spot for a half just before lunch on a recent Wednesday, however when I returned later in the afternoon the heat and glare from the sun shining through the floor to ceiling windows was unbearable. Unfortunately, the many cafe tables outside were all taken with those in the know that North Bar turns into a greenhouse at a certain time on a Summers day.
There are lots of craft keg fonts on the back bar and also cans stacked in a fridge for those who like expensive lagers. Thankfully there are also two hand pumps that were drawing North Brewing’s Vanishing Point and Seasons Reverse, the former being my preference. The service was friendly and the upbeat jazzy background music fit the surroundings, but there are better drinking venues a stone’s throw away so I’ll probably walk past next time.

Real Ale Ray left this review about North Bar Harrogate
The colourful tiles along the bar front are quite similar to their outlet in Snow Hill Birmingham. The hanging lamps across the bar counter and stools were all a similar colour to the tiles, and so added good design. North Brewing describes this bar with 'floor to ceiling windows fill the space with sunshine, with the outside being a real suntrap' certainly not wrong there. As BF mentions below 'felt like a greenhouse' I'd definitely agree with that. At least their beer was cool enough, I went for the Vanishing Point Pale, which wouldn't warrant another.

On a street corner with massive plate glass windows,on a hot day with the sun streaming in it felt like a greenhouse.There are lots of tables outside,inside its mainly light colours and pine.
12 craft keg taps with some really exotic brews in this cafe style interior with on my trip real ales in North Brewing Seasons Reverse and Vanishing Point Pale (not sparkling form ,NBSS 3).This visit was at the end of an extensive and long crawl,if I had been more sober I might have ventured an eclectic keg so it maybe worth a visit despite the paucity of real ale.
