Leeds Arms in Scarborough

Oh, what a treat Leeds Arms is – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its cosy, historic feel, especially knowing it's been around since 1605, making it the oldest in Scarborough. From what I've gathered from folks' chats, the atmosphere is spot on, with friendly locals creating that perfect buzz without any of the hustle and bustle from the main strip, and the beers are top drawer, whether you're after a classic real ale or something a bit more crafty. The staff seem to go the extra mile to make sure you're looked after, and it's great to see it's dog-friendly too, so you can bring the whole family along. On the flip side, the opening times can be a tad confusing with varying schedules, and without a website or phone number, it's not the easiest to get the lowdown beforehand – but if you do make it in, I reckon you'll be glad you did. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting a genuine, no-fuss pub experience in Scarborough, though it might not suit if you're after something more modern or easily accessible online.
