About This Pub

You know, when I think about Papitos Bar, it's got this real homely vibe that makes you want to settle in for the evening. The staff are absolute gems – always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after, just like that review from Dan who raved about the friendly service during happy hour. Their cocktails are top-notch too; Sandra and Ged both mentioned how fantastic they are, and I can imagine sipping on one of those twists on classics while catching up with friends. The place itself is nicely done up, with cosy seating indoors that's perfect for a winter night or a summery get-together. But, and I hate to say it, there was that one review from Carol where things went a bit pear-shaped with the manager and some unexpected shots, leaving her feeling embarrassed. It's a shame because it shows not every visit is flawless, and with it only opening from the afternoon onwards, you might miss out if you're an early bird. Still, with such a high rating overall, I'd say it's worth popping by for a drink – just keep an eye out for those little hiccups and you'll likely have a cracking time.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of cocktails and wines that are spot on – perfect for a cheeky night out.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and cosy, with indoor seating that's just right for a relaxed evening in Harrogate.
  • Happy hour brings a lively buzz, adding to the fun without it feeling overwhelming.
Cons
  • There was that one awkward incident with the service, where things got a bit embarrassing for some folks, so it might not always be smooth sailing.
  • It's only open in the evenings from around 3 PM, which means it's not ideal if you're after a daytime pint or something.
  • With just a moderate number of reviews, it might not be the most buzzing spot in town, so you could find it quieter than expected.

My friend recommended this bar after enjoying a friendly service from the manager on a previous visit. On this occasion the manager shared a new cocktail with us 4 girls and asked us what we thought we said we liked it and 4 shots arrived shortly after, followed by a very apologetic and embarrassed waitress with a card machine asking for a payment of £16 we all were of the understanding that the shots were on the house and as the manager disappeared we couldn't discuss it. We were having a good time there upto this point and intended having cocktails next do he lost out in the long run. We won't be back! An expensive mistake

The bar itself was really nicely done up. Excellent wine, excellent cocktails, really friendly staff. An all round great experience. We ended up here twice in the 3 days we were there and will absolutely be going back next time we visit Harrogate.

Cosy bar with indoor seating on the ground floor and upstairs. It was busy on a Saturday night and buzzing. Very friendly staff and owner. We tried his twist on an Old Fashioned cocktail - one with bourbon and one with rum. The rum one was great. They offered to make any cocktails that you want. Would definitely recommend trying this place.
