Mist Bar, 66 St Thomas St, Scarborough YO11 1DU

About This Pub

Ah, Apollo Bar and Events – or Mist Bar, as it pops up in the reviews – is one of those places in Scarborough that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this warm, buzzing atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed drink or a bite to eat, especially if you're after a top-notch burger that folks are calling the best around. The staff sound like absolute stars, always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels welcome, which really adds to the charm. Prices are fair too, so you won't feel like you're being ripped off for a pint. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – the music can be a bit hit-and-miss, with a heavy lean towards 90s dance tracks that might leave you wanting more variety if you're into other genres. Plus, with no new reviews in ages, it makes me think it might not be drawing the crowds it used to, and the lack of a website means you're flying a bit blind if you want to plan ahead. Overall, though, if you're in the area and fancy a laid-back spot with good grub and friendly faces, it's worth a punt – just keep your expectations in check for that soundtrack!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They serve up some cracking burgers that folks rave about – apparently the best in Scarborough and beyond!
  • The atmosphere is spot on, especially on a Friday evening when the music picks up and the lights dim for a proper vibe.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, like a well-poured pint of Guinness that won't break the bank.
  • It's a great spot for a casual drink or a quick bite during the day, with a mix of music that keeps things lively.
Cons
  • The music playlist can feel a bit one-note, with lots of 90s dance anthems when you might expect something more diverse like mod or indie tunes.
  • There haven't been any recent reviews in the last six months, which makes me wonder if it's lost a bit of its spark lately.
  • No website listed means it's trickier to check out menus or events in advance – you'd have to just pop in and see.
  • It's only open six days a week, so if you're planning a Sunday outing, you might be out of luck.

Probably the best burger, and the friendliest staff, around. Top choice in Scarborough, the rest of North Yorkshire, and every where else outside God's County. 10+/10.

Great atmosphere here in this chic modern bar. We went on a Friday early evening and the music got louder and the lights got lower as the might progressed. Good pint of Guinness was poured by friendly staff and not overpriced. Well worth visit.

Popped in both nights we visited Scarborough. Nice bar staff. Pretty decent atmosphere only thing threw me was lots of cool mod/punk/indie pics on wall but music was mainly 90s dance anthems. Boyfriend loved it, me I wanted a little diversity lol! Would still go back though :)

Mist Bar is the best place in Scarborough. Friendly staff and good music and friendly doorsupervisor/bouncers. It's just a realy good place to go for a drink. the music he plays / 60s 70s 80s 90s and today's music. the DJ knows what type of music to play to the peaple in the bar and some times they have live music with good bands playing live. In my opinion it's just the best place to go for a friendly drink. Over all good atmosfear.

I love this place. It's lovely in the day if you want a quick bite and a drink. Tom who works behind the bar is amazing and has excelent customer skills. Everyone who works there makes you feel welcome. The owner is lovely too and makes the customers feel like they can have a good time, as there is live music (local bands) that play there often. In all. It's a lovely place to have a good time. Food is excellent and the cocktails are to die for. What more could you want?!
