The Ginnel, Harrogate, HG1 2RB (View on Google Map)

Described on its website as a 'youth club for grown ups' this is a café bar housed in a former antiques emporium above a vintage shop, in a busy nightlife area of Harrogate town centre. It provides real ale, craft keg, pizza, music, and art all in one package. Simply furnished with wooden tables and chairs, the décor is in a mix of styles to suit its eclectic customers, including some art work which is often for sale. The four handpumps dispense a changing variety of ales, usually from a range of smaller breweries, and often including the local Rooster’s brewery, and Turning Point from Knaresborough. Up to four real ciders, usually from Dudda's Tun, are also available. There are interesting keg beers, and bottles and cans from the UK, US and Europe; the bottle shop offers a takeaway discount. All the beers, together with ABVs and prices, are listed on a board to the left-hand side as you enter the bar.

Note that this pub is up two flights of stairs, with no accessibility measures in place.

NB. Card payments only, though cash accepted for small purchases where the correct amount is tendered. Change may not be given.
