About This Pub
Ah, the Claro Beagle – it's one of those classic pubs in Harrogate where you can pop in for a pint of John Smith's and settle in to watch the footie or enjoy a live band. I love how they've given the place a fresh refurb lately; it really makes you feel right at home with its tidy vibe. The staff are proper friendly too, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone's looked after, and it's spot on for family days out with that safe outdoor area. On the flip side, though, I've heard a few tales of cleanliness slipping, like with dogs causing a mess inside, which is a real shame. Plus, if you're eyeing up the rooms for a stay, they can feel a bit cramped and outdated, and the drinks might hit your wallet a touch harder than expected. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening, but go in knowing it's not without its rough patches – still, that's pub life for you!

The Claro Beagle has been recently refurbished to a very high standard.
Kev the landlord was kind enough to let me drop in on very short notice to complete my work on site.

Sadly this pub has deteriorated. Dog fouling on frequent basis inside the pub has terminated my visits. Perhaps in the summer sat outside but unlikely
Fantastic atmosphere a great manager and staff always top sports on TV 📺, good entertainment live bands, and great for family gatherings live outdoors space safe for children too 😀 👍
We stayed there as part of work and we couldn't complain to he honest The food at the evening was very nice. The beer is a bit pricey, but it is a hotel, so you'd expect that. I had to swap a room as it was very dated and very confined. but all in all it's an old building so its must be hard to upkeep and it's very nice and welcoming and the food is good.
