About This Pub

You know, chatting about the Crescent Lounge feels like sharing tips over a pint with mates – it's got this brilliant vibe as part of the historic Crescent Hotel, making it a proper hub for live music, comedy, and even some cracking small plates that hit the spot without breaking the bank. I love how they keep things fresh with events that mix sophistication and fun, and the staff really go the extra mile to make you feel valued, like when the manager thanks you for popping in. It's ideal if you're up for a lively night out in Scarborough, whether it's a quiet midweek drink or a buzzing Saturday with bands playing. On the downside, some evenings can be a bit frustrating if the crowd gets carried away chatting over the acts, as I've heard from a few who had that experience – it takes away from the entertainment a touch. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time, just keep in mind it might not be perfect for those seeking utter peace and quiet, but the positives definitely outweigh the niggles for most.

Being to the Crescent Lounge on a few occasions now, either as a family, with friends or with my husband. We have come for small plates which was all amazing and fresh and very well priced, portions sizes were perfect( not a tiny amount were you are still starving, but not over faced by cheap food) We then as a family made the decision to come for chrismtas day, which was my first ever meal out, and we have decided we will now come every second year for our christmas meal. Music and Events are always brilliant down at the Cresent, actually seems to be the only place in Scarborough to go now, literally for all ages to. We came down this weekend and saw 3 different acts, atmosphere was brilliant everyone in good spirits, music was outstanding, only down side for me was a couple of middle age people shouting and shaking fists. They did seem to vacate pretty soon after so everyone else then enjoyed themselves. ( they have actually left a review and after seeing there other reviews they have posted it looks like nothing would please them, I would say best thing for them to do is stay at home listen to there own music and eat there own home cooked food, you cant win them all) Looking forward to seeing what else the Cresent has to offer all of us, and I can't wait to sit out in there garden with a cocktail and sunshine. Well done Sadie Nils and team 👏

DONT BOOK THIS VENUE😡 We went to see The Real People acoustic gig at the crescent lounge last night, ok venue but it was really spoiled by the local morons who talked/shouted over the music and storys by the band so loud you couldnt hear them speak. not just a cpl of people loads of them yak yak yak!!!.. If you want to chat/shout continuously throughout go to another pub why buy a ticket then not listern to the gig and spoil it for others i dont get it? The band asked the morons to stop but fell on death ears (probably because they were shouting that loud they couldnt hear the duo) I would suggest any bands in future NOT to book this venue as the idiots talking dont deserve you! 😡

Twice I have visited The Crescent and both times have been wonderful. The first time was a quiet drink midweek and the second was a busy Saturday evening with live music. The venue somehow manages to do both so well, will definitely return whenever I’m in town!

Love the outdoor booths and outdoor area and the manager is a top bloke. Thanked us on 2 different occasions for coming back to to drink there which we thought was a classy touch. Would recommend as the owners appreciate your custom. 💯 % recommend.

Thursdays at The Crescent Bar has become a second home for the modern jive gang in Scarborough. Nathan Badger's event is on most Thursdays and 'Badgers Boogie Bonanza' is his latest offering. Great live music starts at 8pm featuring old and total gold swingy numbers by the likes of Sinatra and Dean Martin amongst other Kings of the genre. Songs guaranteed to get you onto that dancefloor. And if you don't have a partner there's always someone around to offer you a dance! Also listen out for classics through the decades and join people dancing in couples, strolling, doing the conga or just doing their own thing! Anything goes here! You might share the floor with holidaymakers, locals, students of any age and orientation. Basically the whole world and their dog will feel included in the communal vibe that this event always creates. And six months after it began I must say that every week that I have attended (which is most of them) it is always a fab evening! The atmosphere is amazing, the welcome is wonderful and no Thursday is ever the same because the mix of people is ever- changing, alongside the core of regulars. The Management and staff behind the bar are always friendly, helpful to the max and join in to make it a safe and fun space for everyone involved. And if you are interested in learning new dance moves, there are often free mini tutorials at 7pm before the show to get you in the dancing mood. I would recommend that you check the Facebook page for up to date event information for this and all their other weekly and monthly events as they have a lot to offer.
